Published: May 2002

The vascularization of the different layers of the pelvic urethra was studied in 12 females urethras, in which the vascular system was injected with gelatinous inda ink. The arterial vascularization of the striated muscle is essentially tributary of the sub-mucosal network by the intermediary of fascicular and interfascicular arteries which anastomose to form an intermuscular plexus. This plexus also anastomoses with the subserosal network. The submucosal layer is a true vascular crossroad form by an intricate plexus of blood vessel, both arterial and veinuous. The sympathic, para-sympathic and somatic voluntary's nerves supply to the pelvic urethra.

Background: Urolithiasis (kidney stone) is a common condition that often leads patients to urgent or emergency care services. Urinary calculi are generally found in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder. Urethral calculi are uncommon and can result from the migration of a calculus in the upper urinary tract or vesicle or may be primary of the urethra.

Purpose: In prostate cancer patients, high radiation doses to the urethra have been associated with an increased risk of severe genitourinary toxicity following dose-escalated radiotherapy. Urethra-sparing techniques have emerged as a promising approach to reduce urinary toxicity. This international survey aims to evaluate current global practices in urethra-sparing and explore future directions for the implementation of this technique in external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for prostate cancer.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the correlations between specific urethral function parameters observed in urodynamic testing and selected urethral characteristics evaluated by pelvic floor ultrasonography. Additionally, the presence of urethral funneling during straining was evaluated in female patients referred for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 192 female patients referred for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence with the use of retropubic tension-free vaginal tape.
