Abstract

Introduction. Female urethral stricture is rare. Treatment option includes urethroplasty with various techniques, but no single approach has been demonstrated to be the best. One major issue has been the risk of post operative incontinence.Case. We present our experience of the management of female urethral stricture with transurethral inlay vaginal graft urethroplasty. A 51 year old female patient presented with urinary retention and foley insertion failed. Urethroscopy showed panstricture of the urethra and transurethral inlay urethroplasty was performed using vaginal graft. The patient showed improvement of the symptoms postoperatively.Conclusion. Transurethral inlay urethroplasty is a feasible option for the management of female urethral stricture to reduce the risk of post op incontinence because it doesn’t require high urethral mobilization.

Abstract

Introduction. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a medical condition where there is an excessive growth of smooth muscle and epithelial cells in the prostate gland. BPH is typically seen in older men and is non-cancerous. It is estimated that around 50% of men aged 60 or above worldwide are affected by BPH. Some research has looked into the factors that may increase the risk of BPH, and one theory suggests a possible connection between metabolic syndrome and the development of BPH. This study aims to investigate the potential relationship between metabolic syndrome and the development of BPH.Methods. This study is an analytical observational research conducted at Saiful Anwar Hospital in Malang from 2015 to 2020, employing a case-control research design. The data used for this study are secondary data extracted from medical records. The data analysis involved the application of both Chi-Square and Logistic Regression methods.Results. The study gathered data from 90 patients, and the analysis revealed that the highest number of BPH patients fell into the category of those with hypertension, totaling 34 individuals (75.56%). Among the factors considered, including fasting blood glucose, body mass index, and metabolic syndrome, the chi-square test indicated that body mass index and blood pressure were significantly associated with BPH, both yielding p-values of 0.046; OR (95%Cl) = 2.473 (1.006 – 6.075). Furthermore, in the logistic regression test, it was determined that fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and body mass index categories had a significant impact on BPH.Conclusions. This research illustrates that there is an association between type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity with the occurrence of BPH. However, there is no statistically significant relationship between the components of metabolic syndrome and the occurrence of BPH.

Abstract

Introduction. Urinary stone disease (USD) refers to the formation of urinary calculi in the urinary system. The prevalence rates for urinary stones from 1% to 13% in different regions across the globe. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of USD patients who seek treatment at Tobelo Regional Hospital for the period of 2019-2023.Methods. A descriptive retrospective study based on medical records for the period of 2019-2023 conducted at Tobelo Regional General Hospital. The research subjects were all patients diagnosed with USD and had complete medical records.Results. A total of 320 individuals were studied. The prevalence rate of USD in our study population was commonly higher in men (56%) and in the age group of 40–59 years old (53%). Mostly found in private-employee groups (54%). Most were located in the kidney (83%). Stone diameter with a size > 1 cm was found in 103 cases (32%), and 33 of them were > 2 cm in size.Conclusions. USD cases are dominated by men rather than women, occurring mostly in the 40-59 years of age. Nephrolithiasis is the most common type of USD found in this study. Hospital facility improvements and high quality medical professionals may help the USD screening process to meet a prompt treatment.

Abstract

Introduction. Acute scrotum in children requires rapid and accurate evaluation due to the time dependency of certain potentially dangerous conditions, such as testicular torsion. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial, as delayed treatment can result in significant morbidity. In our case, the patient presented with severe pain in the left testis that occurred suddenly, with a history of pain and swelling in the left testis accompanied by fever 2 weeks prior. After examinations, it was decided to perform scrotal exploration, revealing a necrotic left testis, leading to an orchiectomy. Case. A 16-year-old boy presented with sudden left testicular pain that radiates to the left abdomen. He reported experiencing pain accompanied by fever two weeks prior, which had resolved after treatment at a community health center. Physical examination revealed that the left testis was hard and tender with severe pain on the left side of the scrotum, which was positioned higher than the right side, along with the absence of the cremasteric reflex. Laboratory results showed elevated leukocyte counts, and ultrasound imaging revealed hypoechoic areas. The patient was diagnosed with testicular torsion, and scrotal exploration was performed, revealing a necrotic testis with 360-degree rotation of the spermatic cord. Left orchiectomy and right orchidopexy were subsequently performed. Conclusion. The diagnosis of testicular torsion must be established promptly based on detailed history, physical examination, and supporting modalities such as ultrasonography. Early diagnosis is essential for initiating appropriate management, which can prevent testicular loss and other serious complications.
