Ectopic vas deferens is a rare congenital anomaly and can be associated with urinary tract and genital anomalies. Therefore, patients can present with a variety of symptoms. We present the case of a four-year-old uncircumcised male patient with ectopic vas deferens and contralateral vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Our patient had been caused breakthrough pyelonephritis and recurrent epididymitis alternately, and this made it difficult for us to reach an accurate diagnosis. The left vas deferens was connected to the bladder, and it was opening next to the left ureteral orifice. A bilateral ureteroneocystostomy and left vasectomy were performed, and the patient has been doing well and has had no further urinary tract infections (UTIs) or epididymitis.

Background: The T4 rectal cancers indicate beyond total mesorectal excision (TME) plane dissection with en bloc multivisceral resection for achieving R0 resection. Recent studies emphasize the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surgery in selected T4 rectal cancers. This study demonstrates a stepwise approach for robotic total pelvic exenteration (TPE) with en bloc presacral fascia in T4b rectal cancer, focusing on the internal iliac vessel branches management and presacral fascia resection.

Individuals with congenital absence of the vas deferens (CAVD) may transmit cystic fibrosis (CF)-causing variants of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene to their offspring through assisted reproductive technology (ART). We aimed to delineate the spectrum and estimate the prevalence of CF-causing variants in Chinese individuals with CAVD through a cohort analysis and meta-analysis. CFTR was sequenced in 145 Chinese individuals with CAVD.

Background: Isolated obstructive azoospermia (iOA) is classified as a type of obstructive azoospermia (OA) where cases remain "unexplained" even after excluding congenital absence of the vas deferens and external factors. This study aimed to determine if certain semen characteristics in iOA patients could indicate underlying genetic variants.
Objectives: To investigate CFTR and ADGRG2 gene variants in patients with idiopathic obstructive azoospermia (iOA) and identify semen parameters associated with these variants to guide genetic testing.

To investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the monoclonal antibody (mAb) in male reproductive tissues and develop a translational physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to characterize the PK data. The PK of a non-cross-reactive antibody (trastuzumab) was investigated in human FcRn-expressing male mice following a 10 mg/kg intravenous dose. The PK in plasma and male reproductive tissues (i.
