Xanthogranulomatous cystitis: a rare clinical entity

Xanthogranulomatous cystitis [XC] is a rare benign disease of unknown etiology. A case of XC in a 30-year-old male is presented due to sparcity of such case report in medical literature. Patient evaluation included clinical, biochemical and radiological studies before treatment. Histological study revealed the rare diagnosis. Patient was asymptomatic at eight weeks follow-up after treatment

Transperineal bulboprostatic anastomotic repair of pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect and role of ancillary maneuver: a retrospective study in 172 patients

We present our experience with transperineal bulboprostatic anastomosis procedure and compare the results with age of patients, length of urethral stricture, effect of previous treatment and need for ancillary procedures. We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of 172 patients who underwent perineal urethroplasty procedure for traumatic stricture in our institute. Simple perineal anastomosis was done in 92 patients. Perineal anastomosis and corporal separation were done in 52 patients. Perineal anastomosis with inferior pubectomy was done in 25 patients. Perineal anastomosis with rerouting was done in three patients. Age, prior treatment, length of stricture, and ancillary techniques required during reconstruction were compiled. The clinical outcome was considered as failure when any postoperative instrumentation was needed. Out of 172 cases that underwent transperineal urethroplasty procedure, 157 [91.28%] were successful. Simple perineal urethroplasty procedure showed a success rate of 93.4%, perineal anastomosis with separation of corporal bodies had a success rate of 90.4%, perineal anastomosis with inferior pubectomy had a success rate of 88% and perineal anastomosis with rerouting of urethra around the corpora had a success rate of 66.7%. The success rate of delayed progressive perineal urethroplasty procedure for post-traumatic stricture urethra is excellent and majority of the failures occurs in prepubescent boys and in those undergoing secondary repair

Prolonged priapism following single dose administration of sildenafil: a rare case report

A case of priapism following the consumption of a single dose of sildenafil is reported, A 25-year-old unmarried healthy man consumed non-prescribed 50 mg sildenafil purchased over the counter. He developed painful priapism 30 min after the drug intake that had lasted for 4 days [96 h] when he sought medical advice as an emergency. The corpus spongiosum and glans was soft and the corpus cavernosa was rigid. Winter's shunt was done. Fifteen milliliters of dark blood was aspirated with 16 G needle. Detumescence was achieved within 30 min. He was discharged after 12 h. On one month follow-up, he had normal morning erections. A genetic basis with cross-reactivity of PDE-3 in addition to PDE-5 resulting in a cumulative erection effect may be possible elucidation for this unwanted side effect in rare cases. However, the number of cases reported with this side effect is still too less to draw further conclusions
