Vesicocutaneous fistula after total hip replacement is a very rare but severe complication, which can appear months or years after operation. Intrapelvic cement (methylmethacrilate) spilling, loosening and dislocation of the prosthesis and infection are believed to be the cause of fistula formation. Only 4 cases of this kind of fistula have been reported in the literature. A new case of vesicocutaneous fistula is presented. The fistula developed 23 years after arthroplasty mainly because of hip-joint infection. Urinary tract symptoms caused by urinary infection appeared only few months earlier.

Penoscrotal Extension and Fistulation From Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder.

The commonest malignancy of the urinary tract is bladder cancer, with the commonest presentation being painless visible haematuria. Just like other malignancies, it can spread, commonly to surrounding tissues like the prostate, seminal vesicles, and vagina, distantly to lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bone, and less commonly to the skin and subcutaneous tissues. This is a case of a man with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who underwent radical radiotherapy.

Its treatment often requires invasive strategies, mainly surgical closure, or cystectomy. We present a case where we successfully treated bladder rupture employing a less invasive technique of transurethral debridement and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

A 38-year-old motor vehicle accident victim presented for acute urinary retention due to a clogged Foley catheter, which was inserted two weeks prior during surgery for pelvic and spine fixation and extra-peritoneal bladder rupture. Imaging studies revealed persistent bladder leaks despite primary and, later, secondary surgical repair. A combination of novel non-surgical techniques, that is, urinary diversion, negative pressure dressings, and waiting proved beneficial in our case, and led ultimately to complete clinical and radiological resolution of the fistula.

Objective: To determine the rate of stone formation amongst patients of the exstrophy-epispadias complex with augmentation cystoplasty. We hypothesize that bowel segment choice influences the rate of stone formation after bladder augmentation and the rate of complications from bladder stone surgery.
Methods: An IRB-approved institutional database of 1512 exstrophy-epispadias patients was reviewed retrospectively.

Background: Intrathecal baclofen infusing pumps are nowadays commonly implanted in patients suffering from severe, intractable spasticity with a background of multiple sclerosis. Although intrathecal baclofen therapy is considered a safe therapeutic modality, complications are unavoidable and broadly categorized as mechanical and infectious. In the instance of a pump pocket infection, a surgical explanation of the pump is often necessary to treat the infection.
