Introduction And Objectives: Impending erosion is an unusual complication of inflatable penile prosthesis that can strongly impact on patient's morbidity and quality of life. In this case report we present a salvage surgery technique for impending erosion performed in a 57-year-old man.

Materials And Methods: We present our surgical technique for cylinder reimplantation in an impending erosion of a three-component inflatable prosthesis with a peno-scrotal access and extracapsular reseating of the cylinder.

Introduction: Stuttering priapism is a variation of ischemic priapism, generally transient and self-limiting, occurring during sleep and lasting less than 3-4 hours. It may progress to episodes of complete ischemic priapism in approximately one third of cases, necessitating emergent intervention.

Evidence Acquisition: This review aims to provide an up-to-date picture of the pathophysiology and management of stuttering priapism.

We report a case of a 69-years-old man who presented with a solitary 1 cm nodule in the lower lobe of the left lung almost 3 years after radical prostatectomy for pT3aN0M0, Gleason score 4+3 disease, without evidence of osseous or lymphatic spread. Surgical resection of the pulmonary lobe confirmed the metastatic nature of the lesion, with subsequent reduction of serum PSA to undetectable levels. After 2 years from the metastasis resection, serum PSA is still undetectable, without the necessity of additional treatments.

Objective: We report a case of enucleation of a non-palpable right testicular lesion found incidentally at testicular ultrasonography during investigations in a patient with azoospermia.

Materials And Methods: In 2011 bilateral hypoechoic nonpalpable testicular lesions (5 mm and 3 mm to the right, 3 mm to the left) were found in a 28 years old patient, during diagnostic investigations for azoospermia. In March 2016, ultrasonography showed that the diameter of the right major nodule had grown to 12 mm, characterized by increased vascularization and increased texture.
