We present a very rare case of osteomyelitis pubis in a 75-year-old male patient due to a prostatosymphyseal fistula, which constituted a few weeks after trans-urethral resection of the prostate. The patient had a previous history of prostatic carcinoma treated by radiotherapy, which may have played a role in the development of the fistula. Computed tomography with excretory phase and magnetic resonance imaging were performed and enabled to make the final diagnosis.

Management of prostatosymphyseal fistula following photoselective vaporization of the prostate: Case series and systematic review of the literature.

Background: This study is aimed to describe our institutional experience and review the literature to date on prostatosymphyseal fistula (PSF), or puboprostatic fistula, following bladder outlet procedures such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively queried our institutional experience for management of PSF following PVP performed for symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. We also performed a systematic literature review for PSF following PVP or TURP.
Prostatosymphyseal Fistula After Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate: A Very Rare Complication of a Transurethral Surgery.

Prostatosymphyseal fistula (PSF) is a very rare complication described after transurethral surgery of the prostate including photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) with GreenLight laser (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA). Sporadic cases have also been reported in the literature as side effects of pelvic radiation therapy. We present a 65-year-old male patient who underwent PVP as an elective procedure for the treatment of severe lower urinary tract symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Soft tissue tumors can be benign or malignant and are often tricky to diagnose, especially those with high fluid content.
- The case studied involves a 78-year-old man with a painful mass in his left leg, which was finally identified as a urinoma due to a fistula from prior prostate surgery.
- This situation highlights a rare type of soft tissue tumor that can be better evaluated using MR-based urography.
Management of Radiation Anterior Prostato-symphyseal Fistulas With Interposition Rectus Abdominis Muscle Flap.
Urology

Department of Urology, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, Burlington, MA. Electronic address:
Objective: To describe a novel, organ-sparing approach for reconstruction of radiation-induced anterior prostato-symphyseal fistulas (PSFs) at our institution over a consecutive 10-year period.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing surgical reconstruction for anterior PSF between January 1, 2006 and October 31, 2015. Patient demographics as well as preoperative, operative, and postoperative data were reviewed, including etiology of fistula, surgical management, and outcomes.
