A retrospective study, over a 7 year period, examining the use of descending urethral ultrasound in corrected and uncorrected hypospadias was performed. 15 examinations were performed on 14 patients; 12 patients had undergone previous surgery for hypospadias, ranging from urethral reconstruction to stricture dilatation. Eight strictures, four irregular urethras, two normal post-operative urethras and one urethral valve were demonstrated. All the clinically significant abnormalities (those which impaired the flow of urine) demonstrated by ultrasound were confirmed with subsequent urethroscopy or contrast urethrography. This small series illustrates the application of descending urethral ultrasound in patients with hypospadias who are difficult to examine with more conventional radiographic techniques.

Principles of surgery according to the Integral Theory Paradigm (ITP).

A core concept of the Integral Theory System is that "ligaments are for structure; vagina is for function". The vagina and uterus should be conserved. Because the vagina is an organ, its collagen and elastin, which are so necessary for its function, cannot regenerate once they are removed.

The main thrust of the Integral Theory Paradigm (ITP) is that inadequate ligament collagen causes pelvic organ prolapses (POP) and pelvic symptoms, a concept validated by multiple publications which cured POP and bladder/bowel/pain dysfunctions by collagen-creating slings. Sling surgery for surgical cure of these conditions was eliminated in the United States, Europe and other regulatory jurisdictions by banning all mesh products (including tapes) in about 2017. The aim of this work was to inform of the progress of a highly promising alternative method for collage creation for ligament repair: wide-bore polyester sutures accurately applied to weak ligaments.

Bladder duplication (BD) is a rare malformation that is often associated to other anomalies. We report a newborn diagnosed with BD in the sagittal plane, associated to persistent urogenital sinus (UGS), given the opening of the vagina immediately below the bladder neck. It is the fourth time this association is reported.

Article Synopsis
- Ureteroceles are the most common urinary tract malformations, affecting mainly girls and often leading to complications such as urinary tract infections and renal issues.
- A case study of a 32-year-old woman highlighted her long-term symptoms, including burning urination and urethral ballooning, leading to the diagnosis of a cecoureterocele with calculus through imaging techniques such as ultrasound and CT scans.
- The importance of correct diagnosis and treatment options, including less invasive surgical methods, was emphasized to prevent complications while noting the rarity of prolapsed ureteroceles in adults.
