The scrotum is supplied by ilioinguinal, genital branch of genitofemoral, perineal branch of the posterior cutaneous nerve of the thigh and the posterior scrotal branches of the pudendal nerve. We report an extremely rare innervation of the anterior part of the scrotum by the anterior division of the right obturator nerve. The genital branch of genitofemoral nerve did not reach the scrotum. The ilioinguinal nerve did not supply the scrotum. The anterior division of the obturator nerve gave a branch which ascended superomedially in the thigh, crossed superficial to the spermatic cord and communicated with the right ilioinguinal nerve. As it crossed the spermatic cord, it gave a scrotal branch which descended over the spermatic cord and ramified to supply the anterior part of the scrotum. Knowledge of this variation could be important to anaesthesiologists, urologists and surgeons in general.

Repair of the Bulbospongiosus Muscle to Suspend the Penis to the Pubic Bones in Proximal Hypospadias.

Paediatric Urology Department, Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9WL, United Kingdom.
Background: In proximal hypospadias, ventral curvature is invariable and most have penoscrotal transposition, and we observed that the base of the penis (BOP) was located on the inferior aspect of the pubic bones in those, in contrast to the location of the BOP at the anterior end in normal penises. We also observed an unfused bulbospongiosus muscle (BSM) at surgery in those. The aim was to assess the impact of repairing the unfused BSM or transection and straightening of the urethral plate at the first operation on the low BOP.

Meleney's gangrene is a synergistic polymicrobial infection of the anterior abdominal wall causing rapidly progressive necrotizing fasciitis of skin and subcutaneous tissues. When combined with Fournier's gangrene, the mortality rates are higher. Here, we discuss a case of Meleney's with Fournier's gangrene managed with appropriate antibiotics and extensive wound debridement, followed by a successful split-thickness skin grafting of the lower anterior abdominal wall and scrotum.

Article Synopsis
- Anorectal diseases pose significant health challenges, particularly complex conditions like fistula-in-ano, which can recur even after surgical interventions, especially if not fully treated.
- This report discusses a rare case of a complex anal fistula that communicated with the prostate gland, causing discomfort and pus discharge; after Ayurvedic treatment known as Ksharasutra, significant healing occurred.
- Following 4 months of treatment, the patient showed complete resolution of symptoms and no evidence of the fistula on follow-up imaging, demonstrating the effectiveness of Ksharasutra therapy without damaging anal sphincter function.

Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy, is a rapidly progressive, rare, and severe condition characterized by vascular calcification and skin necrosis. The pathophysiology involves cutaneous arteriolar calcification followed by subsequent tissue ischemia and infarction, which eventually causes extremely painful skin lesions. The condition is associated with substantial morbidity due to severe pain, non-healing wounds, increased susceptibility to infections, and frequent hospitalizations.
