Penile fracture is a rare clinical entity that occurs secondary to direct trauma to an erect penis, most commonly during sexual intercourse. Specifically, increased pressure within the corpus cavernosa results in rupture of the tunica albuginea. Occasionally, these injuries extend to the urethra and very rarely cause a complete urethral avulsion. Emergent exploration improves post-traumatic erectile function, penile curvature, and prevents painful erections. The traditional approach is a subcoronal circumcising incision to allow for adequate visualization. We present an uncircumcised male with bilateral corporal injuries and complete urethral avulsion who underwent a ventral midline approach for successful foreskin preservation.

Fowler's syndrome causes urinary retention due to failure of the urethral sphincter to relax. Management aims for complete bladder emptying, typically via intermittent self-catheterization. If conservative treatment fails, detrusor overactivity with Fowler's syndrome may be managed surgically using clam cystoplasty and the Mitrofanoff procedure to increase bladder capacity and reduce pressure.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of transurethral water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT) using the Rezūm system for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the real world.
Methods: A total of 181 patients with BPH were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from August 2022 to December 2023, of whom 173 patients were treated with WVTT using the Rezūm system, while 8 patients were treated with WVTT combined with TURP. They were followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively to assess changes in the IPSS, QoL, Qmax, IIEF-5, and the occurrence of any complications.
