1/3. Urethrocutaneous fistula due to a retained ring of condom.Hidden foreign bodies have been described as a rare cause of both strangulation of the glans penis and urethrocutaneous fistula. We present the case of a 30-year-old man who developed a urethrocutaneous fistula and penile shaft necrosis after a condom broke during intercourse. Neither the patient nor several physicians could identify the retained ring of condom, which had been buried under newly epithelialized skin. He underwent removal of the foreign body under general anesthesia, followed 5 months later by a formal urethrocutaneous fistula repair.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = physician (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Penile tourniquet syndrome caused by hair.We have described two circumcised children who developed a urethral fistula caused by long hairs constricting and ulcerating the penis. These cases are presented to remind physicians to examine the infant's penis when he presents with a swollen glans, abnormal urinary stream, and a parent with long hair.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = physician (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Ureteroarterial fistula: case report and review of the literature.Ureteroarterial fistulae are rare. We report 2 cases of this clinical problem. Ureteroarterial fistulae can occur in association with prolonged ureteral stenting, radiation therapy, vascular pathology, and prior pelvic or vascular surgery. Identification of a fistula is often difficult and requires the physician to be highly alert and vigilant. Diagnostic and therapeutic options for a ureteroarterial fistula are discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = physician (Clic here for more details about this article) |
