Background: Vaginal childbirth is one of the main risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can facilitate quantitative evaluation of the morphology and function of the pelvic floor in static and dynamic environments. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in pelvic floor morphology and function in primigravida women before pregnancy (BP) and after vaginal delivery.

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.

Background: Healing complications are a significant concern after hypospadias repair, often attributed to deficient growth factors and reduced healing potential of hypospadiac tissue. Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), a new generation of platelet concentrates rich in growth factors, has been successfully applied to provide a mechanical barrier and promote healing in different surgical fields. The objective of this study was to assess the role of a PRF membrane covering the neourethra, in addition to a Dartos flap, optimizing the outcomes of primary distal hypospadias repair.

Gender-affirming surgery is essential for transgender individuals seeking alignment between their physical appearance and gender identity. Metoidioplasty is a masculinizing option for those assigned female at birth and often includes vaginectomy, urethral lengthening, scrotoplasty, creation of a neophallus, and testicular prostheses, typically implanted during a second-stage procedure. We describe a 39-year-old transgender man who initially underwent a laparoscopic hysterectomy, metoidioplasty, and tubularized plate urethral lengthening 19 months earlier.

Department of Ultrasound, Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, No. 34 Zhongshan North Road, Licheng District, Quanzhou, 362000, Fujian, China.

Objective: To investigate the application of transperineal ultrasound for assessing pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function in male patients with constipation and to evaluate its clinical value.

Methods: The study included 32 male patients with constipation and 32 healthy controls, all of whom underwent transperineal ultrasound examinations. Measured parameters included the anorectal angle (ARA), levator plate angle (LPA), excursions of the ARA and LPA, and displacements of the bulb of the penis (BP), mid-urethra (MU), urethra-vesical junction (UVJ), and anorectal junction (ARJ) at rest, during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and during maximal Valsalva maneuver.
