We present a case of a 54-year-old woman with a left-sided complete duplication of the ureter. The upper moiety drains in the proximal third of the vagina, which results in an ureterocele and urinary incontinence. The ureteral orifice of lower moiety ureter was normal. Duplication of the ureters with distal, infra-sphincteric, vaginal implantation is an uncommon congenital anomaly and a rarely seen entity in adulthood as a cause of urinary incontinence. MR colpocystodefecography showed an ureterocele in between the bladder and the rectum. Computed-tomography showed the duplicated ureters and ectopic ureter with proximal implantation on the renal upper pole and distal implantation on the proximal third of the vagina.

Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are responsible for the majority of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), some of which are oncogenic and can cause oropharyngeal or genital cancers. The HPV prevalence at the genital level varies according to the population studied but is higher in the seminal fluid of men suffering from idiopathic infertility than in the general population. The involvement of HPV in male infertility is supported by several studies suggesting that this virus can affect sperm quality by altering sperm DNA integrity, motility, number, viability, and morphology, and by inducing the production of anti-sperm antibodies (ASAs).

Müllerian (paramesonephric) duct anomalies (MDA) are a rare condition, occurring in 5.5% of female newborns. One of the most complex malformations is represented by Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomalies (OHVIRA) syndrome, also known as Herlyn -Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome.

Aims: Brachytherapy is advantageous for localised rhabdomyosarcomas in children compared with external beam radiotherapy, sparing close organs at risk with highly conformal dosimetry. A methodology for planning and delivering fractionated high-dose-rate paediatric pelvic brachytherapy is detailed, and the dosimetric parameters are presented. This provides a practical template for radiotherapy departments with a similar patient cohort to implement this treatment technique.

Purpose: Surgical repair is considered the mainstay of genital prolapse management. Several procedures are available both by vaginal and abdominal route, with and without mesh augmentation. The Italian UroGynecology Association (AIUG) promoted this survey with the aim of evaluating current variations in the surgical management of various types of prolapse in different clinical settings and to compare practice amongst practitioners working in high- and medium/low-volume centers.

Background: A normal luteal function is an essential factor for maintaining pregnancy; luteal phase deficiency decreases embryo implantation and pregnancy rate and increases the early miscarriage rate. In stimulated in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) patients, luteal phase support (LPS) is achieved by the exogenous supplementation with progesterone to increase endometrial receptivity and pregnancy. While several protocols exist, no commonly accepted protocol has been established for optimal luteal support after IVF-ET to date, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different luteal phase support protocols in patients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies.
