We report a case of vaginal reconstruction using a flap from urinary bladder in a young girl. This girl was born with cloacal malformation and hemivaginas connected to the urinary bladder. Repeated urinary tract infection and vesicoureteral reflux were noted. At the age of 9 months, she received posterior sagittal anorectoplasty for rectum pull-through, but the urogenital part was not corrected. She had repeated urinary tract infection. Detrusor areflexia and large bladder volume were demonstrated by cystometry. Cystoscopy showed a common channel longer than 3 cm. Urogenital reconstruction was performed at 14 months of age. A part of the urinary bladder wall, which was connected to the vaginas, was used to lengthen the vagina so that the latter was able to pull down to the perineum. The patient received vaginal dilatation and intermittent catheterization after the surgery.

Distinct molecular subtypes of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) may show different platinum sensitivities. Currently available data were mostly generated at transcriptome level and have limited comparability to each other. We aimed to determine the platinum sensitivity of molecular subtypes by using the protein expression-based Lund Taxonomy.

Background: Spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) profoundly affects both sexuality and urinary function. Catheterization is often necessary to manage bladder voiding and it can interfere with sexual activity.
Aim: We aim to investigate the effect of the bladder evacuation method on sexual activity in women with chronic SCI/D.

Bladder cancer (BC) ranks as one of the most prevalent cancers. Its early diagnosis is clinically essential but remains challenging due to the lack of reliable biomarkers. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry abundant biological cargoes from parental cells, rendering them as promising cancer biomarkers.

Background: A previously published study at Norrland University Hospital, Umeå, Sweden, found that in 29.5% of patients with urinary bladder cancer (UBC) who underwent cystectomy, incorrect cT-stage (clinical T-stage) was registered in the Swedish National Register of Urinary Bladder Cancer (SNRUBC). Tumor in bladder diverticulum (TIBD) and tumor-associated hydronephrosis (TAH) were common causes for misclassification.

Background: Aggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor known for its aggressive behavior and high recurrence rates, with male cases of AAM being less frequently reported. This study presents a rare case of primary prostatic AAM characterized by a prostatic urethral mass obstructing the bladder outlet, resulting in acute renal dysfunction.
Case Description: The 51-year-old male patient presented with lumbar pain, nausea, frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination.
