Volume 13, Number 3Review ArticlesLower Urinary Tract Injuries Following Blunt Trauma: A Review of Contemporary ManagementManagement ReviewNiall CorcoranAlex CatoRussell GruenJennifer KongMatthew F BultitudePeter L RoyceLower urinary tract trauma, although relatively uncommon in blunt trauma, can lead to significant morbidity when diagnosed late or left untreated; urologists may only encounter a handful of these injuries in their career. This article reviews the literature and reports on the management of these injuries, highlighting the issues facing clinicians in this subspecialty. Also presented is a structured review detailing the mechanisms, classification, diagnosis, management, and complications of blunt trauma to the bladder and urethra. The prognosis for bladder rupture is excellent when treated. Significant intraperitoneal rupture or involvement of the bladder neck mandates surgical repair, whereas smaller extraperitoneal lacerations may be managed with catheterization alone. With the push for management of trauma patients in larger centers, urologists in these hospitals are seeing increasing numbers of lower urinary tract injuries. Prospective analysis may be achieved in these centers to address the current lack of Level 1 evidence.[Rev Urol. 2011;13(3):119-130 doi: 10.3909/riu0521] © 2011 MedReviews®, LLCUrethraMultiple traumaRuptureUrinary bladderWounds
Volume 16, Number 3Case ReviewUrethral Duplication in a 15-Year-Old: Case Report With Review of the LiteratureArindam DuttaMayank BaidUrethral duplication is a rare congenital malformation mainly affecting men and boys. Although a number of theories have been proposed to describe this condition, the actual mechanism of this disorder is still not clear. This article highlights a case of urethral duplication in a 15-year-old boy. The malformation was characterized by the presence of continent epispadic and normal apical urethra. Retrograde urethrogram through both urethral tracts simultaneously revealed the malformation as Effmann type IIA2. The patient was not offered surgical intervention as he was asymptomatic and had no problems except for a double stream of urine.

Volume 16, Number 1Case ReviewMetastatic Urethral Melanoma: Case Report and Review of the LiteratureRafaela Saint-Clair Pimentel Mafra De OliveiraBruno Moraes VasconcelosLuiz Ronaldo AlbertiMelanoma is a cancer that originates from melanocytes, is predominant in adults with white skin, represents 4% of skin cancers, and has high possibility of forming metastasis. This review reports on the case of a young man, age 36 years, previously diagnosed with melanoma. The patient complained of obstructive urinary symptoms and, while he was undergoing a cystoscopy, it was discovered that he had a lesion corresponding with metastatic melanoma of the prostatic urethra, which occluded almost the entire urethra and resulted in blocked urinary flow. He underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate, followed by resection of the lesion. After the procedure, he had good urinary flow and is currently on follow-up.

Volume 17, Number 1Case ReviewAdenocarcinoma of the Urethra With Mucinous FeaturesJonathan WalkerAndrew WrightAnthony DyerLucas ReddArthi SatyanarayanPrimary adenocarcinoma of the female urethra is a rare malignancy. Previous studies hypothesize multiple origins, including periurethral glands or intestinal metaplasia. We report a case of a 60-year-old white woman with adenocarcinoma of the urethra who initially presented with obstructive voiding complaints secondary to a urethral mass. Wide local excision revealed invasive adenocarcinoma of the urethra with mucinous features. There was intestinal metaplasia adjacent to the tumor, as well as separate identification of intestinal metaplasia along the urethra. Ultimately, the patient underwent radical cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion with no evidence of recurrence, indicating the role of early identification and surgical intervention for such cases.
