The most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) is infection by human papillomavirus. There are more than 100 types of human papillomavirus, and over 30 of them involve the genital area. Urethral involvement is uncommon and usually limited to the distal 3 cm of the meatus. There are various treatments for urethral condylomas; as a rule, they are limited by a difficult approach, by recurrences, and by potential complications, the most significant of which is urethral stenosis. The purpose of the treatments is to remove the warts and induce lesion-free periods. Such treatments do not eliminate the infection nor do they prevent continued transmission of the virus. We retrospectively evaluated 123 patients diagnosed and treated for condylomas in the genital area at our Institution between April 2009 and April 2012. The patients’ mean age was 28.7 years (range 19–51). Of the 123 patients included, 48 (39%) had a history of previous STIs, most frequently gonococcal urethritis. Three of them had a urethral malformation in the form of hypospadias, and another three reported a previous urologic manipulation (catheterisation). Meatal/urethral condylomas are rare, cryotherapy is simple, easy to apply, and has a very low risk of complications in patients with externally accessible warts.

Wünderlich’s syndrome is a spontaneous nontraumatic massive retroperitoneal hemorrhage. It is usually secondary to a renal neoplasm, with angiomyolipoma being the most frequent followed by renal cell carcinoma. The management of spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding varies depending on the hemodynamic status of the patient. We present the first report of a transperitoneal laparoscopic nephrectomy in a patient with spontaneous retroperitoneal active bleeding secondary to a right renal mass.

Radical cystectomy with lymphadenectomy and urinary diversion is the gold standard treatment for bladder cancer in organ-confined muscle-invasive disease and selected patients who have high-grade non-muscle-invasive disease or are non-responders to BCG. The main and most morbid complications of this challenging surgery are related to the use of bowel for urinary tract reconstruction. For this reason, many past projects were devoted to finding an alternative to the use of bowel. The aim of this review is to provide a summary of the evolution of alloplastic bladder substitution. A comprehensive review of the literature was performed using the Medline National Library of Medicine database and Google Scholar. Keywords used were cystectomy and intestine/bowel, replacement, bladder substitution, organ replacement, artificial bladder, alloplastic material, biomaterial, and tissue engineering. Various prostheses have been proposed for replacement of the urinary bladder, silicone being the most frequently used material. The first published model of an alloplastic bladder was described by Bogash et al. in late 1959, while the last, in 1996, was suggested by Rohrmann. Interprofessional collaboration, recent advances in technology, and tissue engineering may help in developing suitable bladder prostheses. Urologists as well as engineers and the industry need to give this matter serious attention.

Granulosa cell tumor of the testis is an infrequent stromal cell tumor that can be distinguished into adult and juvenile, the latter being more common. Juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the testis is a rare pathologic finding, accounting for 1.2%-3.9% of prepubertal testicular tumors. It is considered as a benign stromal sex cord tumor and is usually unilateral. Although radical surgery was previously considered the treatment of choice, testis-sparing surgery is now recommended in all cases where applicable. We report a bilateral synchronous juvenile granulosa cell tumor in a 6-month-old child treated with testis-sparing surgery and provide a review of the literature.
