Immediate catheter removal after laparoscopic hysterectomy: A retrospective analysis.

Objectives: All patients undergoing a laparoscopic hysterectomy receive an indwelling catheter during surgery. The optimum timing of removal of the catheter is uncertain. A possible advantage of leaving the catheter in up to 12 h after surgery is to reduce the risk of urinary retention.

Rare urological manifestation of Henoch-Schönlein purpura: testicular torsion.

The Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitis that mostly occurs in children. Besides the most common clinical manifestations such as palpable purpura, arthralgia, abdominal pain and renal disease, it can have urological manifestations. We report a rare case of a 2-year-old boy with the HSP who developed a testicular torsion under corticosteroid treatment.
