Case Presentation: An 83-year-old male with a history of prostate cancer and prior prostatectomy presented with lower abdominal pain, urethral leakage, and hematuria after a routine suprapubic catheter exchange, which was found to be incorrectly positioned in the bulbar urethra, leading to obstructive nephropathy with mild hydronephrosis.
Discussion: This case highlights the increased risk of suprapubic catheter misplacement and complications in elderly patients with neurogenic bladder and altered urinary anatomy, particularly after prostatectomy and artificial urethral sphincter placement. It emphasizes the importance of careful management during catheter exchanges in such patients to prevent complications of misplacement.

Viral etiologies, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), for peritonitis can be misclassified as culture negative peritonitis because of poor accessibility of viral testing in the effluent fluid. Inaccurate diagnosis and subsequent ineffective treatment can lead to unnecessary catheter removal for presumed refractory peritonitis. Here, we report a 73-year-old woman with a history of genital HSV-2 on continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis who presented with HSV-2 related peritonitis.

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous return is a congenital defect where one or more pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium instead of the left. Most cases are asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally. Anomalous left upper pulmonary venous return is considered the most common type.

We aimed to look at the evidence for laser lithotripsy for bladder stones (BSs) to provide results from two centers on bladder calculi treatment. In addition, the outcomes of prostatic and other surgical interventions performed in nearly half of all patients. A retrospective analysis of two large European endourology tertiary centers for patients who underwent laser lithotripsy for BS between 2016 and 2024 (7 years).
