Summary
This study reports the complete surgical removal of a prostatic utricle in an infant. The procedure utilized a posterior sagittal approach, offering a new method for this rare condition.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric surgery
- Urology
- Congenital anomalies
Background:
- Prostatic utricle anomalies are rare congenital conditions in infants.
- Surgical management is often necessary for symptomatic cases.
- Minimally invasive techniques are sought for improved outcomes.
Observation:
- A case of complete prostatic utricle excision in an infant is presented.
- The surgical approach involved posterior sagittal rectum retracting technique.
Findings:
- Successful complete excision of the prostatic utricle was achieved.
- The posterior sagittal approach facilitated adequate exposure and removal.
Implications:
- This technique offers a viable surgical option for prostatic utricle excision in infants.
- Further studies may explore the long-term outcomes and applicability of this approach.
- Highlights the importance of specialized surgical techniques for rare pediatric urogenital anomalies.

01:16Accessory Glands of the Male Reproductive System
The accessory ducts involved in sperm maturation and transportation include the epididymides, vasa deferentia, ejaculatory ducts, and urethra. These ducts play a critical role in the maturation, storage, and transportation of sperm from the testes to the urethra, where it is then released during ejaculation.
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis...

01:16Urethra
The urethra is a hollowed tubular organ through which urine is expelled from the body. This structure extends from the bladder to the external opening, allowing urine to be released.
The anatomy of the urethra differs between males and females. In females, the urethra is short, measuring about 3–4 cm in length, and opens anterior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer and passes through the penis, serving dual purposes: expelling urine and ejaculating semen. The male urethra is...

01:28Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...
