In this case series (n = 7) on prostatic utricles (PU), retention of urine was seen in 5 of 7, urinary tract infection (4 of 7), recurrent epidydymo-orchitis (3 of 7), and scrotal sinus (1 of 7). Voiding cystourethrogram established diagnosis in 3 of 7 patients while CT/MRI in 4 of 7 patients. Four patients were primarily managed by cystoscopic widening of mouth of PU. Three with large PU underwent initial open (2) or laparoscopic (1) excision but later warranted cystoscopic widening for residual PU. Excision (open/laparoscopic) has risk of damage to adjacent structures (nerves/vas/seminal vesicles) or leaving behind a residual PU. Cystoscopic management (primary/salvage) has less morbidity and relieves recurrent symptoms due to stasis of urine in PU.

Management of Catheter-Related Urethral Injuries in Male Children.

Paediatric Surgery, Bristol Royal Hospital for Children, Bristol, GBR.
Introduction: Management of urethral trauma lacks clarity in the paediatric population. There is no clear guidance for management and follow-up of these patients which can lead to missing the long-term sequelae of the primary injury. Catheter-associated urethral injuries are less likely to cause a complete transaction of the urethra.

Objectives: To assess the predictive value of magnetic resonance imaging for vesicovaginal fistula development in cervical cancer patients with bladder invasion treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of the medical records of 43 cervical cancer patients with bladder invasion between 1999 and 2015. Bladder invasion was confirmed through magnetic resonance imaging (scores ≥3) or cystoscopic findings, with or without biopsy.
Feasibility and surgical outcomes of simultaneous urethral reconstruction for synchronous urethral strictures.
Int J Urol

Department of Urology, National Defense Medical College, Saitama, Japan.
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and surgical outcomes of simultaneous urethral reconstruction for synchronous urethral strictures (SUS) and analyze the surgical techniques employed for different stricture combinations.
Methods: Twenty-two male patients with SUS who underwent urethral reconstruction between February 2018 and July 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Stricture locations and lengths were evaluated using cystoscopy and urethrography after urethral rest for at least 3 months.
A multicenter micro-costing analysis of flexible cystoscopic procedures in Korea.
Investig Clin Urol
January 2025
Department of Spinal Neurosurgery, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose: This study aims to develop and implement an economic evaluation using a micro-costing approach to provide a precise and transparent analysis of the direct costs of cystoscopic procedures in Korean hospitals. The study seeks to identify key cost components and evaluate whether current reimbursement rates accurately reflect these direct costs.
Materials And Methods: Significant variations in cost items were identified across different studies.
Electric Wire in the Urinary Bladder: Surgical Challenges and Comprehensive Literature Insights.
Diagnostics (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Urology, Iului Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Background/objectives: An electric wire inserted into the bladder or urethra presents a specific challenge that is frequently encountered in such cases: the potential formation of a tight knot, making extraction nearly impossible. The primary objective of this study was to share our personal experience with patients who had intravesical electric cable insertions and to provide an extensive literature review, offering detailed insights into the various strategies reported for managing such foreign body cases.
Methods: Of the four cases with a foreign body in the lower urinary tract, two involved patients aged 19 and 53, respectively, who had inserted an electric cable.
