Urethral destruction in women is a rare pathology which is result of traumatic damage of the urethra during pelvic fractures, sexual trauma, iatrogenic effects (operative vaginal delivery, prolonged catheterization of the bladder, complicated surgical interventions on the urethra, etc.). The main symptom of urethral destruction is involuntary urinary incontinence. The relevance and complexity of this problem are determined by the fact that the choice of surgical treatment for urethral destruction is still unsolved. This requires such kind of intervention, which will be aimed not only at restoring of the anatomy, but also at correcting urinary incontinence - often in several stages. This article describes two clinical cases of urethral destruction in women with iatrogenic damage to the urethra.

Introduction And Importance: Unstable pelvic fractures in children are mainly caused by high-impact injuries, which are often combined with multiple injuries. A rare type of degloving injury named Morel-Lavallee lesion (MLL) is easily overlooked in obese children.
Case Presentation: A case of unstable pelvic fracture combined with extensive perineal injury and MLL in an obese child was discussed.

Objective: Obstetric fistula repair failure is a combination of unsuccessful fistula closure and/or incontinence following a successful closure. There is an inconsistent finding on the failure of obstetric fistula repair in East Africa. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of failed obstetric fistula repair and its associated factors among women who have undergone fistula repair in East Africa.

Background: Obstetric fistula repair failure is a combination of unsuccessful fistula closure and/or incontinence following a successful closure. It causes a burden on both the patients and the fistula centers. The aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of obstetric fistula repair failure among women who underwent fistula repair at Yirgalem Hamlin fistula center in Southern Ethiopia.

Objective: To make an extensive evaluation about the effects of histopathological findings acquired from the resection materials of patients who underwent transurethral resection of prostate (TUR-P) due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) on postoperative urethral stricture formation.
Materials And Methods: Among patients who had TUR-P due to BPH and were followed up for minimum 6 months, 51 patients detected to have urethral stricture based on endoscopic imaging were included in the urethral stricture group (Group 1) and 52 patients without urethral stricture were included in the control group (Group 2). The relation between histopathological findings of TURP materials and postoperative stricture occurrence was investigated.
