Reconstruction of penoscrotal transposition.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the results of surgical correction of incomplete penoscrotal transposition and its impact on subsequent definitive urethroplasties and the final outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The medical records of 22 patients who had undergone surgical correction for incomplete penoscrotal transposition at one centre in the last 8 years were evaluated retrospectively. The surgical technique is described and the outcome after correction is noted. RESULTS: All cases had severe hypospadias and approximately half had associated anomalies. No major complication occurred following surgery and the appearance of the external genitalia was satisfactory as judged both by the surgeons and patients. Operative scars did not constitute major handicaps for the subsequent urethroplasties. Sixteen patients have completed reconstructive surgery of whom 12 have glandular and four coronal meatuses. CONCLUSION: Reconstruction of penoscrotal transposition yielded satisfactory results in terms of cosmetic appearance and functional external genitalia, and is recommended before definitive urethroplasty.

Treatment of clinically fixed lymph node metastases from carcinoma of the penis by chemotherapy and surgery.

A 59-year-old patient with carcinoma of the penis was referred for therapy of clinically fixed and ulcerated bilateral inguinal lymphadenopathies. He was treated initially by partial penectomy and subsequently by weekly infusions of methotrexate, bleomycin and cisplatin. This treatment resulted in a decrease in the size of bilateral, lymphadenopathy and re-epithelization of the overlying ulcer. Subsequently a left-sided inguinal lymphadenectomy was performed. At follow-up 18 months later the symptoms had disappeared and no distant metastases were observed.

A case of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder presenting with brain metastases.

A patient with brain metastases from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder is presented. This patient had multiple intracranial metastases. The disease progressed very aggressively despite systemic chemotherapy and he died in a very short time. In a review of the literature it is noticed that the incidence of brain metastases from transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder has increased recently. This is probably because of the current complicated therapeutic approach to bladder carcinoma, including radical surgery and combination chemotherapy for high stage disease.

Diagnostic value of creatine phosphokinase in testicular torsion.

In an experimental study on 36 male guinea pigs testicular torsion was induced in 10, epididymitis in 10, surgical trauma in 6 and only ether anaesthesia was given to 10 animals. Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels at 0, 4, 8, 20, 28 and 40 hours were determined in each group. Serum CPK levels were found to rise significantly in the torsion group. Determination of serum CPK levels may be an auxiliary alternative in the diagnosis of testicular torsion.
