Metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma to the scrotum.

Metastatic cancer to the scrotum is a rare occurrence. We describe the first case of cutaneous scrotal lesions consistent with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. A brief discussion including epidemiologic factors and clinical presentation is presented.

Urologic and endovascular repair of a uretero-iliac artery fistula.

Patients with a uretero-iliac artery fistula (UIAF) are at an elevated risk of life-threatening hemorrhage. Identification and treatment of the fistula may be challenging, and requires the combined expertise of a urologist and endovascular specialist. This manuscript provides a list of equipment needed and describes our technique for diagnosing and treating a UIAF.

Relationship between voided volume and the urge to void among patients with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between voided volume (VV) and urge to void among patients with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Material And Methods: Consecutive adult patients (aged 23-90 years) were enrolled, and completed a 24 h bladder diary and the Urgency Perception Scale (UPS). Patients were categorized as urgency or non-urgency based on the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score.

The significance of functional renal obstruction in predicting pathologic stage of upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

Background And Purpose: Assessing the severity of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) has been difficult because of inadequate biopsy specimens. Additional predictive parameters of disease stage would be useful when deciding a treatment plan; it has been suggested that preoperative hydronephrosis can be a surrogate. We examined the relationship between preoperative ipsilateral renal obstruction identified by imaging with final pathologic stage after nephroureterectomy (NU) for UTUC.
