Cosmetic Appeal, HRQoL, and Effectiveness of Simple and Pseudotesticular Techniques of Orchidectomy in Prostate Cancer.

Introduction: Orchidectomy is the most cost-effective means of hormonal therapy for locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer (LAMP). However, cost-effectiveness should not detract from health-related quality of life (HRQoL) considerations. Bilateral simple orchidectomy (BSO) has been linked to negative psychometric deficits from an empty scrotum.

Urethral steinstrasse: Day case care.

Urethral steinstrasse is rare. Only a few cases of spontaneous or postinterventional urethral steinstrasse have been reported in pediatric and adult patients. We report a case of a 52-year-old Nigerian man with a secondary urethral steinstrasse, and the treatment options possible, as day case procedures, under caudal anesthesia.

Erectile Dysfunction Among Men Attending Surgical Outpatients Department in a Tertiary Hospital in South-Western Nigeria.

Background: Erectile dysfunction is becoming a public health issue with high incidences reported in community studies.

Objective: To evaluate the characteristics and outcome of treatment in men with erectile dysfunction in a tertiary center in Ibadan southwestern Nigeria.

Methods: Data of men with erectile dysfunction was retrieved between July 2004 and June 2014 and analyzed using SPSS version 16 statistical software.

Prevalence of Linea nigra in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate carcinoma.

Background: Linea nigra (LN) is linear hyperpigmentation occurring from the umbilicus to the pubic symphysis. Although commonly associated with pregnancy (when it is known as linea gravidarum), it has been found in normal male and female individuals, particularly in the younger age group where estrogen or lack of sensitivity of androgen receptors has been suggested as a possible factor. From a previous study the incidence of LN varied in different genders, age groups, and certain clinical status such as pregnancy and, in men, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH)/prostate carcinoma (PC).

Urethral obstruction from dislodged bladder diverticulum stones: a case report.

Background: Secondary urethral stone although rare, commonly arises from the kidneys, bladder or are seen in patients with urethral stricture. These stones are either found in the posterior or anterior urethra and do result in acute urinary retention. We report urethral obstruction from dislodged bladder diverticulum stones.

Daycase urology at Ibadan, Nigeria: a ten year review.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to report the extent of urological surgeries performed as day cases in a major tertiary hospital in Ibadan and document the outcome.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of all urologic patients treated at the day-case theatre between January 2000 and December 2009. The parameters evaluated were: age, diagnosis, type of surgery/procedure, anaesthesia administered and the rank of the surgeon.

Epidermal inclusion cyst as a rare complication of neonatal male circumcision: a case report.

Introduction: Ibadan, Nigeria, has a very high rate of complications of male circumcision. In a previous survey, redundant or excessive loss of foreskin, skin bridges and injury to the glans penis were the major types of complications identified. Epidermal inclusion cyst complicating neonatal male circumcision appears to be extremely rare, and an extensive search of all databases revealed no reports in the recent literature.

Thread embedded into penile tissue over time as an unusual hair thread tourniquet injury to the penis: a case report.

Introduction: Hair thread tourniquet syndrome has been recognized since the 1960s. Since then, sporadic reports have appeared in the literature describing different degrees of strangulation and/or amputation of the penis caused by a hair thread being inadvertently tied around the penis.

Case Presentation: A 9-year-old boy presented with a 3-year history of hair thread tourniquet injury to his penis.

Dermoid cyst of the urinary bladder as a differential diagnosis of bladder calculus: a case report.

Dermoid cysts are extremely rare in the urinary bladder and can pose a diagnostic dilemma to both the Urologist and the Histopathologist. Only a few cases were found documented and cited in PubMed. We present a case of dermoid cyst in the urinary bladder presenting as a bladder stone with a brief review of the literature.

Familial torsion of the testis.

We report a family of a man and two of his three male children who all had torsion of the left testis, all at the age of 15 years and all occurring during sleep. Their management and the possible modes of inheritance are discussed.

Epidemiology of complications of male circumcision in Ibadan, Nigeria.

Background: The number of infants managed for neonatal circumcision injuries in our unit has been on the increase over the past 16 years. In our search for the sources and reasons for these injuries, we were unable to identify any previous studies of circumcision injuries from our environment. We therefore decided to carry out this study in order to shed some light on this growing problem.

Urethral duplication with a perineal opening in a four-year-old boy.

Urethral duplication (UD) is a rare congenital anomaly. In UD, there is in addition to a normally positioned urethra an accessory urethra arising from the bladder, bladder neck or the proximal urethra and terminating anywhere between the base of the penis along the ventral surface and the glans penis. The embryologic development of UD remains to be clearly elucidated and the etiology of the condition is unknown.

Congenital complex penile curvature.

Congenital complex penile curvature is a rare deformity that arises from asymmetry of the corpora cavernosa. The deformity is generally not severe enough to interfere with sexual intercourse but can be a source of great concern to the patient and may cause him to avoid sexual contact altogether. We report a case of congenital complex penile curvature in a 21-year-old man who was satisfactorily corrected using the modified Nesbit procedure.
