Transurethral suturing of bladder following transurethral excision of female vesico-urachal diverticula: a novel technique with long-term follow-up results
ConclusionsTransurethral complete excision of VD is an acceptable technique to prevent rUTI. The TUS-Notes technique provides a successful minimal invasive treatment option for the treatment of bladder defects.ConciseTransurethral suturing of urinary bladder.

Successful treatment of a patent urachus concurrent with pyocele in a newborn: A case report
Rationale: A patent urachus is a rare congenital anomaly that atypically presents as an umbilical cord cyst or large umbilical cord. Here we describe a case of a giant umbilical cord cyst in a newborn diagnosed as a patent urachus. Patient concerns: A male infant with a birth weight of 3260 g was transferred because of an antenatally diagnosed giant umbilical cord cyst accompanied by yellowish discharge and granulation in the umbilical cord after birth. Diagnoses: Patent urachus Intervensions: The patent urachus was treated by excision of the urachal remnant followed by partial cystectomy. Out...

Survival of Patients With UrAC and Primary BAC and Urothelial Carcinoma With Glandular Differentiation
ConclusionAmong UrAC, primary BAC, and UCGD patients, the prognosis was poorest for those with primary BAC. Attempts should be made to diagnose these aggressive tumors early, since patients in whom tumors are detected early appear to survive longer. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

Distinct Gene Mutations Are Associated With Clinicopathologic Features in Urachal Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: Urachal carcinoma demonstrates frequent gene mutations that are associated with distinct clinicopathologic features.

Aggressive Multimodality Therapy for a Urachal Rhabdomyosarcoma
Urachal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare entity with a remarkably poor prognosis. Here we report on a 2-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, fatigue, and urinary frequency. Imaging and subsequent surgical pathology confirmed urachal primary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Our patient underwent upfront surgical resection with adjuvant chemoradiation per Children's Oncology Group (COG) protocol D9803. He is doing well 15 months after diagnosis. (Source: Urology)
