This case is described with the aim of informing about the high-level suspicion of bladder or urethral injuries in patients with traumatic Foley removal and their prolonged bleeding that should alert clinicians for a prompt urological intervention. A patient was initially admitted to the ICU with delirium and organ dysfunction due to an overdose of drugs. On the second day of his admission, he unintentionally removed his Foley catheter, which led to a course of gross hematuria. He was managed conservatively. After three weeks of hospitalization and stabilization, his profuse, constant bleeding was finally addressed. CT and ultrasound imaging was performed and revealed that his bladder was at an abnormal size and filled with blood. A cystoscopy and a fulguration of the bulbar artery were completed. Quick relief and recovery were noted after the procedure was finalized.

Conjunctival malignant melanoma is extremely rare, with no standard of care established at moment. Here we report a 65-year-old woman, as a hepatitis B virus (HBV) carrier, who presented concurrently a liver mass and lower bulbar conjunctival pigmented lesions in the right eye. Needle liver biopsy and excisional conjunctival biopsy showed hepatocellular carcinoma and conjunctival malignant melanoma , respectively.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the long-term outcomes of a vascular-sparing technique for reconstructing pelvic fracture urethral injuries (PFUI), which aims to preserve blood flow to the affected area.
- It involved 60 patients, with a success rate of 98% in preventing stenosis, highlighting the method's effectiveness.
- The results suggest that this approach, although more complex, is safe and may lower the risk of issues related to reduced blood flow during the healing process.

Objective: To discuss the long-term results of our vessel-sparing non-transecting approach (vspEPA) to perform anastomotic urethroplasty at the posterior urethra. We avoid transecting the bulbar arteries to preserve the antegrade vascularization of the urethra. We hypothesize that vspEPA is feasible, safe, and not inferior to the traditional transecting technique.

Background: Vertebral artery compression syndrome is a rare condition defined as the clinical presentation of dizziness, vertigo, ataxia, dysarthria, dysphagia, progressive or acute paralysis, hemisensory loss, and cervical myelopathy secondary to compression of the medulla and upper spinal cord by the vertebral artery.
Case Description: Here we describe a 57-year-old Mexican-American male with bulbar symptoms, positional vertigo, and diplopia. The patient's symptoms were managed through microsurgical decompression of the medulla utilizing a far lateral transcondylar approach.
