Laparoscopic removal of a pelvic cyst associated with obstructed megaureter and dysplastic renal remnant.

We report a case of a 41-year-old man with a solitary functioning left kidney and history of chronic pelvic discomfort associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. Imaging revealed a large cystic structure in the pelvis attached to a dilated tortuous ureter on the right with congenital absence of the right kidney. The patient underwent laparoscopic removal of the pelvic cyst and dilated right ureter.

Clear cell myomelanocytic tumour: minimally invasive treatment of a rare bladder tumour.

Clear cell myomelanocytic tumours are extremely rare neoplastic growths considered to be members of the family of perivascular epithelioid cell tumours (PEComas), which have in common the coexpression of melanocytic and smooth muscle immunohistochemical markers. These tumours are known to be ubiquitous with uncertain tumour biology and to have unpredictable clinical behaviour. They have been reported in the genitourinary tract, including the kidney and prostate.

Rare case of recurrent angiokeratoma of Fordyce on penile shaft.

Angiokeratomas are benign cutaneous vascular lesions characterized by dilated thin-walled blood vessels lying in the upper part of the dermis, mostly associated with an epidermal reaction such as acanthosis and/or hyperkeratosis. Angiokeratomas of Fordyce are predominantly located on the scrotum and are only rarely found on the penis and then usually on the glans penis. We report a rare case of angiokeratoma of Fordyce located on the shaft of the penis and associated with two recurrences after appropriate surgical excision.

Long-term patient satisfaction following cadaveric pubovaginal sling incontinence surgery using the UDI and IIQ-7 questionnaires.

Aims: The goal of any incontinence surgery is overall long-term patient satisfaction. The purpose of our study was to assess long-term patient satisfaction following cadaveric fascia lata pubovaginal sling surgery using the urogenital distress inventory (UDI) and the short form of the incontinence impact questionnaire (IIQ-7).

Materials And Methods: A total of 47 patients who underwent pubovaginal sling incontinence surgery with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were sent by mail the UDI (total score = 300) and the IIQ-7 (total score = 100).
