Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuff erosion is a challenging complication traditionally managed with device removal and Foley catheter drainage. Urethral stricture can result secondary to the healing process, delaying AUS reimplantation. In situ urethroplasty (ISU) technique is a definitive repair at the time of device removal. Early results demonstrate a decreased rate of stricture formation compared to traditional management with little additional operative time and no additional complications. Patients undergoing ISU have less delay prior to AUS reimplantation, leading to possible benefit in health-related quality of life (HRQL) outcomes.

Reconstruction of a full-thickness spongy urethra is difficult because a corpus spongiosum (CS) defect cannot be repaired using self-healing or substitution urethroplasty. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) secreted by urine-derived stem cells (USC-sEVs) strongly promote vascular regeneration. In this study, it is aimed to explore whether USC-sEVs promote the repair of CS defects.

Introduction: The artificial urethral sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard treatment in cases of moderate-to-severe stress urinary incontinence in males. Cuff erosions are one of the most important distant complications of AUS implantation. The optimal urethral management has still not been established.

Introduction: There is no well-accepted guideline or uniform practice for the usage of prophylactic antibiotics along with urethroplasty for hypospadias. As antibiotic resistance is growing, it is imperative to rationalize the usage of antibiotics when a patient is operated for hypospadias.
Aims And Objectives: The study is aimed at finding if there is any difference in outcome if prophylactic antibiotics are given after urethroplasty for hypospadias.

Perineal carcinoma of unknown origin is a rare and aggressive disease, so an early diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential to prevent its progression. We report the first series of cases of perineal carcinoma of unknown origin: (I) a 62-year-old male patient being followed up for a urethral stricture treated with periodic dilations with subsequent development of perineal abscesses and perineal carcinoma; (II) a 67-year-old male patient who consults for urinary discomfort associated with a perineal abscess. Recurrence of the abscess in the first month revealed the presence of an underlying perineal carcinoma; (III) a 78-year-old male patient that underwent urethroplasty with graft with subsequent regimen of periodical dilations.

Background Hypospadias is the most common penile malformation affecting up to one in 300 live male births. In general, a urinary diversion (urethral stent or bladder catheter) is maintained in situ for two to seven days or more after hypospadias repair. Because of the low level of evidence, the latest guidelines of the European Association of Urology and the European Society of Paediatric Urology provide no recommendations concerning the timing of catheter removal after hypospadias surgery.
