Simultaneous prostatic and right seminal vesicle abscesses: a case report.

Background: Synchronous abscesses of the prostate and seminal vesicles represent a rare but clinically significant form of purulent retention. They pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and are associated with considerable morbidity and a high risk of sepsis.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 60-year-old Caucasian man with a history of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, who had a voluminous prostatic abscess associated with a right seminal vesicle abscess due to compression of the right ejaculatory duct, and who presented to our department with sepsis.

Learning by Clinical Reasoning Versus Interactive Lecture: An Analytical and Experimental Study of Teaching Urological Emergencies.

Objective: To scrutinize the progression of clinical reasoning and theoretical knowledge by comparing the impact of Clinical Reasoning-Based Learning (CRBL) sessions with interactive lectures (IL).

Methods: In this experimental study conducted from November 15, 2021, to May 7, 2022, we focused on second-year students in the second cycle of medical studies. Four specific urologic emergency scenarios (nephritic colic, macroscopic hematuria, acute scrotal pain, and urinary incontinence in men) were selected for interactive teaching sessions.

Fibrous pseudo tumor of the tunica vaginalis mimicking paratesticular cancer.

Fibrous pseudo tumor of the tunica vaginalis is a rare lesion affecting men representing a challenge in its diagnosis and treatment. We reported the case of a 17 year old male patient who presented for a right scrotal mass. Surgical resection of the mass was performed and the histological diagnosis was a fibrous pseudo tumor of the tunica vaginalis.

Massive hydronephrosis due to obstruction by upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma with compression of the inferior vena cava.

A 78-year-old woman presented with tachypnea, abdominal distension, bilateral lower limb edema, and hematuria. A contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis was performed, which revealed a significant left-sided hydronephrosis upstream of an upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUT-UC). The patient underwent a left open nephroureterectomy, and approximately 10 L of fluid were evacuated.

Comparison of long-term results according to the primary mode of management of injury for posterior urethral injuries.

Introduction: The management of post-traumatic rupture of the posterior urethra remains controversial, leaving the choice between early endoscopic realignment (EER) or suprapubic catheterization with deferred urethroplasty. The objective is to compare the results of endoscopic realignment and those of urethroplasty in terms of voiding.

Patients And Methods: We underwent a retrospective study collating all patients managed for post-traumatic complete urethral rupture between 2010 and 2020.

Life-threatening complication due to double-J stent: renal subcapsular hematoma.

The double-J ureteral stent is a standard procedure in daily urological practice. Although considered as safe, this approach is fraught with several complications. These complications are of limited severity and resolve with symptomatic treatment.

An unusual cause of painful ejaculation in a young patient: Zinner syndrome.

Introduction: and importance: Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the seminal vesicles and the homolateral upper urinary tract. While the majority of patients remain asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally, others present symptoms such as micturition or ejaculatory difficulties, or pain. We report a case of Zinner syndrome in a 32-year-old patient with painful ejaculation and discuss the diagnosis and treatment difficulties.

Unusual association between testicular tuberculosis and microdeletion of the Y chromosome in an infertile patient with azoospermia.

Introduction: and importance: Infertility affects approximately 10-15% of couples worldwide. Several causes are incriminated such as hormonal abnormalities, infections, genetic disorders, testicular cancer, varicocele, and others. Herein, we report a case of an unusual association between testicular tuberculosis and microdeletion of the Y chromosome in an infertile patient and we discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties.

Functional outcomes of surgical treatment of ureteral injury following gynecological and obstetrical surgery.

Introduction: Iatrogenic ureteral lesions represent one of the serious complications that can follow obstetric and gynecological surgery. This condition has a fatal consequence on renal function if it's not promptly diagnosed and managed.

Objective: The aim of our study was to report our experience in the management of this pathology.

Positive urine culture prior to transrectal prostate biopsy was not associated with infectious complications development.

Objective: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Its histological diagnosis is based on prostate biopsy. The transrectal procedure is one of the most common procedures performed by urologists.

Adult bladder rhabdomyosarcoma: A case report.

Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are mesenchymal tumors that develop at the expense of striated muscle fibers. It accounts for 6% of childhood malignancies. Rhabdomyosarcomas of the genitourinary tract also occur in children but are distinctly uncommon in adults.

Predictive factors for failure of conservative management in patients with emphysematous pyelonephritis.

Introduction: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a severe form of life-threatening renal infection. Conservative treatment represents the gold standard in the management of EPN, but nephrectomy remains appropriate in certain situations.

Objective: The aim of our study was to report our experience in the conservative management of emphysematous pyelonephritis and to identify the predictive factors of failure of conservative treatment.

Functional outcomes of surgical treatment of varicocele in infertile men: Comparison of three techniques.

Introduction: Among identified causes of male infertility, varicocele holds an important place and is significantly associated with sperm quality deterioration. Surgical management of this condition leads to an improvement in the sperm count and an increase in the spontaneous pregnancy rate.

Objective: The goal of this study was to compare different surgical techniques in terms of morbidity and fertility results.

Pyelonephritis complicated by a perirenal abscess in a pregnant woman: Exceptional cause of fetal death in utero.

Acute pyelonephritis is the most common bacterial infection during pregnancy. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, it can lead to serious maternal and fetal complications. In the literature, a few cases of perirenal abscess complicating acute pyelonephritis during pregnancy have been reported.

Giant adrenal myelolipoma in a young female patient: a case report.

Myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-secreting tumor and its pathophysiology is of metaplasia of the cells of the adrenal cortex into reticuloendothelial cells. Although they are often small and asymptomatic, some cases of giant adrenal myelolipoma cause symptoms such as chronic pain. Few cases of adrenal myelolipoma have been reported in the literature.

Erectile function outcomes following surgical treatment of ischemic priapism.

Introduction: Ischemic Priapism is defined as an abnormally prolonged state of erection, exceeding 6 h, often and irreducible, occurring without any sexual stimulation. Ischemic priapism has a fatal consequence on the sexual function of men if it's not promptly managed. This pathology can cause erectile dysfunction and this can alter the quality of life of patients.

An unusual association between renal tuberculosis and urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract; a case report.

The occurrence of urothelial carcinoma and tuberculosis in the same kidney is exceptional. To our knowledge, a few cases have been reported in the literature.
