The authors discuss an original method for formation of a smooth-muscle cuff from the wall of a pulled-through colon in the region of a perineal colostoma. It was applied in 89 patients who had undergone extirpation of the rectum for malignant neoplasms. The smooth-muscle sphincter was formed during removal of the rectum in 72 patients and no earlier than 2 years after the extirpation in 17 patients. Inflammatory complications developed in the region of the perineal colostoa in the early postoperative period in 13.5% of cases. They were due to necrosis of the distal part of the pulled-through intestine in 3.4% of cases. There were no fatal outcomes. The late-term results were studied in follow-up periods of up to 7.5 years. Satisfactory functional results were produced in 83% of the patients. Physiological examination showed the presence of a functioning sphincter in the region of the perineal colostoma.

Treatment is medico-surgical and multidisciplinary, usually requiring extensive debridement of scrotal tissue and distant surgical reconstruction. Regarding scrotal reconstruction, numerous techniques have been described, however, to our knowledge, none has focused on testicular repositioning.

Objective: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rare, life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis primarily affecting the perineal, genital, and perianal regions. This rapidly progressing bacterial infection predominantly affects middleaged and elderly men. This multicenter study aims to describe the management in a wide cohort of Fournier's gangrene cases that presented to three tertiary centers with early extensive surgical debridement.

Introduction: The anterior division of the internal iliac artery (ADIIA) is a crucial vascular structure that supplies blood to the pelvic organs, perineum, and gluteal region. The present study demonstrates practical data concerning the anatomy of the ADIIA and its branches. It is hoped that the results of the current study may aid in localizing the pelvic arteries effectively.

Background: Urolithiasis (kidney stone) is a common condition that often leads patients to urgent or emergency care services. Urinary calculi are generally found in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder. Urethral calculi are uncommon and can result from the migration of a calculus in the upper urinary tract or vesicle or may be primary of the urethra.
