ABSTRACT
Urethral catheterization is a common procedure, but it is associated with a number of complications. Iatrogenic hypospadias can rarely occur. There is a limited literature dedicated to this condition. We report a young patient with COVID-19 with iatrogenic hypospadias of grade 3. He was undergone to a two-stage procedure with acceptable outcome. Surgical repair should be offered and performed for young patients to ensure good function with acceptable penile appearance. A surgical treatment will improve psychological, sexual and social outcomes.

For the past two decades urethral stenting became more popular for treatment of urethral stricture. However, urethral stents still not widely used in view of good outcome from urethroplasty surgery. The MemokathTM stent is the most popular in this field. It is manufactured from a biocompatible alloy of nickel and titanium. Most of the studies have been limited to single stent insertion, and no studies done for double stents insertion. An 81-year-old man with history of multiple anterior urethral strictures since 2013. He underwent internal urethrotomy in the same year but failed and was on urinary catheter since then. The MemokathTM 044TW was the option due to patient has multiple comorbidities. The micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) and ascending urethrogram showed multiple anterior urethral strictures. He underwent direct visual internal urethrotomy and two MemokathTM stents inserted in the whole length of urethral. However, one year after procedure, he had recurrent lower urinary tract symptoms and ultimately developed acute urinary retention (AUR). Patients stents were removed endoscopically. During endoscopic removal, he had encrustation of both stents that causing obstructive symptoms. He is under our follow-up with no recurrent urinary retention or urosepsis with satisfactory uroflowmetry. Stent encrustation is known to be a common late complication of urethral stents. Stent encrustation should be suspected if patient comes with obstructive symptoms. Endoscopic is shown to be the best method to detect the cause of obstructed stent.

Duplex renal systems is a common anomalies. Incidence rate of 0.8% in healthy adult population and 2-4% in patients investigated for urinary tract symptoms. Urolithiasis management for patients with anomalies is complex and require proper imaging and planning. We have a patient with a partial duplex collecting system presented with a right renal calculus in a non-functioning lower moiety and multiple distal ureteric calculi. Preoperative planning done and surgery performed with good outcome without any early and late complications.

We present a rare case of leiomyoma of the urinary bladder that was diagnosed during pregnancy. The case of a 29-year-old woman primigravida at 13 weeks of pregnancy who presented with 6 months history of abdominal swelling which was gradually increasing in size. Computed tomography done revealed a large heterogenous mass(enhancing) with an area of non-enhancing (necrosis) suggestive of malignant ovarian tumor. The histological findings of the surgical specimen confirmed a leiomyoma of the urinary bladder. The clinical presentation, imaging findings, and management of this relatively rare benign tumor are discussed in this case report.

An elderly man was treated for severe acute scrotum pain with centesis. We report the diagnosis, underlying causes and management, and discuss the procedure. Centesis is performed rarely, but could be undertaken more often given the added benefits.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been shown to cause venous migration in the inferior vena cava (IVC). It is very important for preoperative imaging to be carried out, which will decide the surgical approach for the patient. Duplication of IVC is an uncommon anomaly. We report a case of RCC with duplication of IVC.
