Intentional self-mutilation of the genitals in males is exceedingly rare and the most recent review included only about 50 cases. The ideal way to handle such cases is by microsurgical techniques, but they require special equipment, instruments and training. We therefore developed a simple, standard technique which can be performed by general surgeons. We report a 19-year-old male in whom the technique was used successfully.

A large renal pyelocaliceal diverticular abscess during pregnancy has been successfully managed by a percutaneous approach. After a normal vaginal delivery, an excision of the diverticulum was done with an uneventful postoperative course.
A case of a benign renal tumor found in an infant of 11/2 months is reported. Its clinical, radiological and operative findings were similar to those described previously as Wilms' tumors. Only pathological examination revealed its benignancy. In view of the occurrence of benign congenital mesoblastic nephroma which is evidently not rare in infancy, and because of the side effects of adjuvant cytotoxic and X-ray therapy, the authors feel that the immediate therapeutic approach to a solid intrarenal tumor in infancy should be surgical only. Further therapy should depend on pathological findings.
