Long-term follow-up of penile glans necrosis due to paraphimosis.

Introduction: Paraphimosis is a urologic emergency in which the foreskin of the penis becomes trapped behind the coronal sulcus and forms a tight band of constricting tissue. Surgical or conservative release of this constriction is required for the treatment. Delayed treatment will cause devastating outcomes, such as penile glans necrosis.

[A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder in a patient with interstitial cystitis].

A 60-year-old woman with interstitial cystitis (IC), who had previously received hydrodistention surgery, intravesical instillation of resiniferatoxin and medication, was being followed. Although urinary cytology was regularly tested with no positive findings, computed tomography carried out for screening of recurrent colon cancer showed muscle-invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the bladder (cT3bN0M0). Cystectomy was performed, but she died due to rapid disease progression at 3 months postoperatively.

[Adenomatoid tumor of the testis with testicular pain: a case report].

A 30-year-old man who complained of sudden right scrotal pain visited our clinic. Physical examination revealed a palpable mass with tenderness on his right testis. An emergent operation was performed for acute scrotum.

Septic pulmonary embolism caused by Candida albicans after treatment for urinary multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

After treatment with antimicrobial chemotherapy for the elimination of urinary multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDRP), a 48-year-old man with recurrence of bladder cancer complained of acute onset of dyspnea, and computed tomography revealed multiple nodular lesions in the lung. Candida albicans was isolated from both urinary and blood samples. He was diagnosed as having a septic pulmonary embolism caused by C.

Preoperative computed tomography finding predicts for postoperative inguinal hernia: new perspective for radical prostatectomy-related inguinal hernia.

Objectives: To investigate the incidence of radical prostatectomy-related inguinal hernia (RPRIH) and the predictive factors for RPRIH.

Methods: We reviewed the medical charts of patients who had undergone retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) at our institution from January 2002 to December 2004 and had a median follow-up of 17 months (range 3 to 42). All patients were examined for RPRIH every 3 months.
