Penile Strangulation: A Novel Surgical Procedure without Cutting Equipment: Young Gon Kim, Yu Seob Shin, Jae Hyung You; Urogenit Tract Infect 2020;15(1):10-12. Published online April 30, 2020; DOI: https://doi.org/10.14777/uti.2020.15.1.10

Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: Strangulation of the penis is a rare condition that usually results from the placement of various constricting devices to enhance sexual stimulation. Such a condition requires emergency treatment to prevent penile ischemia, necrosis, urethral injury, and erectile dysfunction. This paper reports the case of a 51-year-old man who was referred for penile pain and swelling following the self-placement of an industrial metallic ring at the base of the penis. The metallic ring was removed safely without using specialized equipment.

Bacterial Urosepsis by a Fungal Ball Mimicking a Ureteral Stone: Jae Hyung You, Myung Ki Kim; Korean J Urogenit Tract Infect Inflamm 2014;9(2):115-118. Published online October 31, 2014

Abstract PDF: Ureteral obstruction caused by a fungal ball is rare. Diabetes mellitus and immunocompromised conditions constitute the predisposing factors. Urosepsis due to unilateral ureteral obstruction with a fungal ball is extremely rare. The radiologic findings of fungal ball have been described as nonspecific. We report on a female patient with urosepsis that occurred by unilateral ureteral obstruction by a fungal ball, mimicking a ureteral stone. She was managed with systemic antibiotics, percutaneous nephrostomy, and ureteroscopic fungal ball removal.
