Objectives: To expose the pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapeutic options for urethral diverticula appearing after substitution urethroplasty.
Methods: Over a total of 34 urethroplasties, 20 with pediculated flap and 14 with buccal mucosa, we collected six cases of urethral diverticula/sacculation development. Five of them underwent surgery, and in one case without symptoms we opted for therapeutic abstention.
Results: Currently four patients remain asymptomatic after treatment. The other two are waiting for a second-time urethral closure.
Conclusions: The development of urethral pseudo-diverticula secondary to stenosis after urethral substitution surgery is not an infrequent complication. For the practice of reconstructive surgery it is important to know that there are techniques to reinforce the resistance of this weakened area of the urethra.

Background: Genital inflammation increases HIV susceptibility and is associated with the density of pro-inflammatory anaerobes in the vagina and coronal sulcus. The penile urethra is a critical site of HIV acquisition, although correlates of urethral HIV acquisition are largely unknown. While Streptococcus mitis is a consistent component of the urethral flora, the presence of Gardnerella vaginalis has been linked with prior penile-vaginal sex and urethral inflammation.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) currently lacks effective treatment options, and the restoration of neurological function remains a major challenge, with unmet clinical needs. Research has indicated that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be induced to differentiate into neural-induced adipose-derived stem cells (NI-ADSCs) under specific inductive conditions, exhibiting excellent neuroregenerative capabilities. ADSCs were obtained from female SD rats and induced into NI-ADSCs.

Prostate cancer treatment-related erectile dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence are commonly treated with inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) or artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). Given the association with androgens and penile/urethral health, we aim to evaluate whether patients on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) undergoing IPP or AUS surgery are at increased risk for reintervention, complication, or infection. We queried the TriNetX database for adult males receiving IPP or AUS.

Introduction: A significant portion of posterior urethral valve patients continue to progress to end stage renal disease despite improvements in medical care. Socioeconomic status has been connected to various healthcare outcomes but has not been evaluated in relation to longitudinal outcomes of posterior urethral valves.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of socioeconomic status on the progression to renal failure among patients with posterior urethral valves.
Phalloplasty is one of the most complex procedures in plastic surgery. The criteria for an ideal neophallus include an aesthetic and erogenous phallus that allows for sexual intercourse, with a functional neo-urethra enabling standing urination. The free forearm flap has become the gold standard for phallic reconstruction.
