ABSTRACT
We report a unique case of foreign body granulomatous reaction after periurethral polytetrafluoroethylene injection causing complete urinary obstruction. Urinary obstruction in the immediate postoperative period and granuloma formation following polytetrafluoroethylene injection are not unusual. To our knowledge delayed complete urinary obstruction after polytetrafluoroethylene injection has not been described previously in the urological literature.

We report a case of testicular ectopia, which represents the first instance of an ectopic testicle located cranial and lateral to the internal ring between the external and internal oblique musculature.

The acid phosphatase level of irrigant solution used during transurethral prostate resections was measured in 20 patients. The mean acid phosphatase of the irrigant solution was 45.3 IU/L (S.D. 50.7). The degree of elevation of irrigant acid phosphatase was related to the weight of tissue resected, the duration of the resection, and the total volume of irrigant used. A transient elevation of serum acid phosphatase occurred postoperatively which was associated with the level of urinary acid phosphatase elevation and the amount of absorbed irrigant solution based on changes in serum sodium.
