Background: Urolithiasis is a disease affecting all age groups. Albeit the incidence of urinary tract calculi in children is lower than in adults, and urethral calculi, especially, are not common. The location of urethral calculi can bring about different clinical manifestations. Case Report: An 8-year-old boy who was referred to our facility with 12-hours history urinary retention and failed urethral catheterization. The referring hospital was said to have decompressed the urinary bladder by suprapubic tap. Clinical examination revealed a young male in painful distress and a calculus impacted at the stenosed external urethral meatus. He had emergency meatoplasty and extraction of the meatal calculus. The post-operative period of the patient was uneventful. He was discharged home second post-operative day. Conclusion: This demonstrates that while rare, urethral calculi do occur in pediatric age group and should be entertained in children presenting with urinary retention and failed urethral catheterization. Also, to highlight treatment options for impacted urethral calculi in children.

Background: Prostate volume (PV) is a principal parameter used by clinicians to better manage patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to prostate or prostate cancer. This prospective study involved patients that underwent evaluation for lower urinary tract symptoms. Participants had suprapubic ultrasound scan and transrectal ultrasound scan done by the same radiologist. Results showed a significant positive correlation between the suprapubic and transrectal measurements. Therefore, SPUS can be a good substitute for TRUS where the latter cannot be done.

Background: Uterine leiomyoma is the most common pelvic tumor in women. Grave complications from this benign tumor are infrequent though can be life-threatening. This report is of a rare case of haemoperitoneum secondary to spontaneous bleeding from a uterine leiomyoma. Emergency laparotomy was performed, and the bleeding vessel was identified and ligated. Conclusion: Surgeons should consider the probability of this complication in women with acute abdominal pain and a history of uterine leiomyoma.

Introduction: This study aimed at determining the predictive value of transrectal ultrasonic Doppler and elastographic features in prostate cancer detection. The results found a significant association between decreased elasticity and prostate cancer detection, and a positive correlation between the extent of prostatic stiffness and Gleason score.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm can rupture and become a life-threatening condition. This case report describes prompt resuscitation, diagnosis and emergency repair in a low-resource setting. The successful management of these patients depends on prompt review by a vascular surgeon, availability of grafts, immediate repair and ICU facilities.
