Ejaculatory dysfunction in adult males with bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex can occur from associated genitourinary anomalies, surgical iatrogenic scarring, infection, obstruction, and neurologic and functional causes. This case presents a 30-year-old male patient with a history of bladder exstrophy reconstruction (bladder neck closure and appendicovesicostomy) who presented with a nine-year history of intermittent perineal scrotal pain, swelling, and intermittent urethral discharge. He presented with a tender palpable perineal mass ("semen-oma"). Examination under anesthesia and endoscopy of the urethra demonstrated a distal anterior penile and proximal urethral stricture at the level of the bladder neck level from previous surgical exstrophy reconstructive procedures. Aspiration of the mass revealed a thick viscous fluid suggestive of semen. Intraoperative endoscopic evaluation and radiographic imaging revealed a distal penile urethra stricture and proximal bladder neck closure from previous genitourinary reconstruction with sequestration of semen in the ectatic urethra with reflux into the seminal vesicle. A proximal ventral penile urethrostomy was performed to allow for permanent drainage of the sequestered semen collection and future antegrade ejaculation. The postoperative course was uneventful. This case highlights the potential for sexual ejaculatory dysfunction and the need for long-term and transitional urologic care in patients with a history of complex exstrophy reconstruction.

This report describes the development of oesophagitis and oesophageal stricture in a dog secondary to anaphylaxis. A 9-month-old male entire Brussels Griffon presented in anaphylactic shock after exposure to Hymenoptera species (Sp). The dog had a history of an anaphylactic reaction after exposure to Hymenoptera, successfully managed with antihistamines and dexamethasone.

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.

Background: Sacrocolpopexy has become a favored treatment of pelvic organ prolapse due to its durability and efficacy. Sacrocolpopexy has not been standardized and there is no categorization scheme to facilitate communication or research efforts for the procedure. A systematic review was conducted to facilitate construction of a classification system for sacrocolpopexy based on extent of vaginal dissection described in the medical literature.

Objectives: To evaluate the surgical and patient-reported outcomes of YV-plasty in patients with refractory bladder neck stenosis (BNS) following transurethral prostate surgery.

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed five patients who underwent YV-plasty for BNS between January 2021 and October 2023. The surgical procedure involved a midline lower abdominal incision to expose the bladder neck.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, such as exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), albiglutide (Tanzeum), dulaglutide (Trulicity), lixisenatide (Lyxumia, Adlyxin), semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. While these agents are well known for their metabolic benefits, there is growing interest in their potential effects on cancer biology. However, the role of GLP-1R agonists in cancer remains complex and not fully understood, particularly across different tumor types.
