Aim: The aim of this study was to introduce a method for uterus preservation in patients with vaginal agenesia and functional uterus.
Material And Methods: Six patients with vaginal agenesia and one patient with cervicovaginal agenesis with functional uterus were enrolled in the study. Laparoscopy, vaginal reconstruction, laparatomy, hematocolpos evacuation and cannulation were carried out between atretic cervix and neovagina using a Pezzer catheter. No sutures or grafts were used. Patients were trained to use a vaginal mold regularly. Pezzer catheter remained in place for 6 months to maintain menstrual drainage and avoid orifice obstruction.
Results: The surgical procedure was successful in all cases. Menses returned and abdominal pain was relieved in all patients. Three patients faced stenosis and two cases suffered from infection. One patient became pregnant and delivered at term. Self-image and quality of life were improved in all cases.
Conclusions: Uteroneovaginal cannulation using a Pezzer catheter relieves pain, restores regular menses and fertility and reduces symptoms related to retrograde menstruation in patients with vaginal agenesis and functional uterus.

Background: In this study, the effect of Pezzer (as a Pezzer catheter) and three-way Foley catheters, used for suprapubic catheterization after open prostatectomy, was investigated in terms of early incidence of painful bladder spasms.
Materials And Methods: In this single-blind clinical trial study, 160 patients diagnosed with LUTS/BPH were placed in two groups of 80 Pezzer catheter (Pezzer(size 28)) and three-way Foley catheters (size 24) for suprapubic catheterization. The evaluated variables in this study are age, prostate weight, narcotics dose, Spasm frequency, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), visual analogue scale (VAS), catheterization period.
Retrograde coiled spring jejunal intussusception in an infant due to Foley catheter gastrostomy: a case report.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Dortcelik Children's Hospital, 16140, Bursa, Turkey.
Background: For infants who need long-term enteral feeding but are unable to maintain sufficient oral intake, feeding gastrostomy tube placement is required. The use of a Foley catheter as a replacement catheter in a Stamm gastrostomy is indicated in the absence of dedicated gastrostomy feeding tubes; however, this approach has been associated with many morbidities. In this report, an unusual case of an infant who underwent a major operation due to coiled spring jejunal intussusception caused by Foley catheter migration is described.

Background: Early enteral nutrition in dogs with critical illnesses, including septic peritonitis, has been shown to have a positive influence on patient outcome. Surgical placement of a gastrostomy tube (GT) is one option for providing early enteral nutrition. Complications, including premature tube removal or separation of the stomach from the body wall, can result in leakage of gastric contents into the abdominal cavity and subsequent peritonitis.

Introduction: Prolonged air leak in secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) patients remains one of the biggest challenges for thoracic surgeons. This study investigates the feasibility, effectiveness, clinical outcomes, and economical benefits of the autologous blood patch pleurodesis method in SSP.
Material And Methods: First-episode SSP patients undergoing autologous blood patch pleurodesis for resistant air leak following underwater-seal thoracostomy, between January 2010 and June 2013 were taken into the study.
Managing severe dermatitis caused by ileal peristomal leakage using a mushroom-type (de Pezzer) catheter in infants: a case series.

University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC;
Skin damage secondary to peristomal leakage is a fairly common complication of ileostomies in infants. Traditional conservative measures, including skin barriers, ointments, and agents to reduce bowel movements, initially may be helpful but not in all patients. The purpose of this case series was to describe a new and relatively simple procedure to temporarily manage severe peristomal dermatitis caused by ileal peristomal leakage in infants.
