For this study 52 formaldehyde-fixed pelvis from both sexes dogs (Canis familiaris), unknown races and different ages, injected with latex through the aorta, were used. The results were classified in common (A) and uncommon (B, B1, B2 and B3) modalities: A-44 dogs (84.62%; 74.82-94.42%), with emergence of the urogenital artery from the visceral branch of the hypogastric artery; B-5 dogs (9.62%; 2.70-22.10%), where the vessel arises from the umbilical artery. In this manner, the intrapelvic organs (ureter, deferent duct, bladder, prostate and urethra in male, and ureter, bladder, urethra, uterus and vagina in female) are supplied with blood through the urogenital and umbilical arteries, and urethral branch, as well as the cranial and ventral vesical arteries to the bladder.

Childhood gynecologic problems are different from adult problems in physiology, disease, psychology, evaluation and management. The most common is vulvovaginitis. The child is susceptible to vulvovaginitis because of a relatively exposed vulva, a thin vaginal wall and poor hygiene. Additional problems are heat and moisture, clothing, coverings and possible sexual abuse. Most vulvovaginitis is primary, nonspecific vulvitis with secondary vaginitis. It is set off by poor hygiene and responds to keeping the vulva clean, cool and dry. Persistent or recurrent vulvovaginitis may be due to a variety of causes, including vulvar skin disease, a foreign body in the vagina, primary vaginitis, ectopic ureter and rhabdomyosarcoma. Vaginoscopy is indicated for recurrent vulvovaginitis or bleeding and for suspicion of a foreign body, neoplasm or congenital anomaly. The extent of evaluation depends on the anxiety of the child versus the extent of the problem, and therefore individualization is required.

Burch colposuspension is a simple retropubic approach for the management of stress incontinence. Major complications are rare but kinking of the ureter can occur in such a procedure, especially in patients who previously have undergone hysterectomy. Careful dissection of the vagina and identification of the ureters are necessary before colposuspension is attempted.

A case of malformation of the urogenital system with a persistent urogenital sinus and a cloaca is reported. There was unilateral agenesis of the kidney, megaureter and a double ureter with an ureteral orifice into the vagina and the clitoris. There was a double uterus and vagina with an orifice into the terminal gut. The patient had chronic recurrent urinary tract infections which required a colostomy during childhood. The operation largely restored a normal urogenital area and a functional anus.

Lower urinary tract injury at the time of cesarean section is an uncommon complication. During a 5-year period, the incidence of bladder and ureter injuries at the Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Medical Center was .31 and .09%, respectively. When bladder injury occurs, it usually is due to surgical difficulty encountered while developing the bladder flap over the lower uterine segment. The difficulty is caused usually by scar tissue from previous surgery. Ureteral injury is a rare complication of cesarean section. It is attributable most often to ureteral transection or ligation associated with uterine incision extensions in the lower uterine segment or the vagina, and to attempts to achieve hemostasis. The data presented in this report indicate that cystotomy, when adequately repaired, is not associated with any complications. Furthermore, diagnostic cystotomy with intravenous injection of indigo carmine is a rapid, safe method of evaluating ureteral patency.

A rare variant of ureteric ectopia, i.e. an opening in the vagina and a vesico-uretero-vaginal communication, is herein reported. This type of congenital anomaly, found in 2 females, has not been reported before. One patient had a free, 2-way communication between the bladder and the vagina via the lower segment of the right ectopic ureter. The other was found to have a one-way communication from the vagina to the bladder through the ectopic distal ureter. Surgical intervention was undertaken in both cases. It is suggested that vaginography after distending the bladder with air is important in the detection of this bizarre anomaly.

Reported in this paper is a rare urogenital malformation in a patient, 17 years of age. Extensive presurgical diagnosis of cele and cysts formation in the minor pelvis, with the right parts of vagina and ureter of a doubled urine-excreting system being involved, was confirmed by surgical therapy in two sessions. This hydronephrotic ureter, with its normal ostium located in the urinary bladder, was found to communicate with the right cervix of a double-bicorn uterus. Excess pressure in the cavities caused fluid to empty splashingly from the right vagina into the left which was in normal condition. The effects of such combination of malformations on individual life are discussed.

Gonococcal arthritis, a rare complication of gonorrhoea, more frequent in women, causes polyarthritis in 75% of cases or monoarthritis. An erythematous skin rash or acute pustular rash (40%), recent signs of genital infection (75% of cases in man, less than 50% in women) suggest the diagnosis. The gonococcal nature of the arthritis is confirmed by isolation of the germ in the joint fluid, the blood and the skin biopsies. In about half the cases, these bacteriological investigations are negative, but the diagnosis remains very probable if the germ is isolated from one or other of the primary foci of the infection: ureter, cervix, vagina, rectum and even pharynx. The rapidly favourable course under antibiotic treatment with penicillin or ampicillin confirms the diagnosis. The pathogenesis of arthritis is a direct toxic action of the gonococcus on the synovial membrane and the periarticular structures. The role of circulating immune complexes recently demonstrated in gonococcemia is probably not relevant.

Eight children, 3 girls and 5 boys, with single ectopic ureters arising from non-concentrating kidneys are described. Two children, both girls, complained of persistent wetting with a pattern suggestive of ectopic ureter: 2 of the boys presented in the neonatal period with massive abdominal distension: the remaining children developed a urinary infection or chronic urinary retention. Diagnosis depends on an appreciation of the possibility that a non-concentrating kidney on intravenous urography may be giving rise to an ectopic ureter and, in the boys, on a correct interpretation of cystourethrographic findings. Careful endoscopic examination of the urethra and in the girls of the vagina also will lead to the identification of the ectopic ureteric orifice in most cases. When the ectopic ureter joins the male genital tract there may be an extravesical ureterocele which can be recognised cytoscopically. The condition is treated by nephroureterectomy.

Different stages of side effects may result in the application of actinotherapy in the intestinal canal, bladder, ureter, vagina integument, bones, lymph ducts, and in fibrous tissue. Besides the reaction during actinotherapy, there are so-called early and/or late sequels. If conservative therapy remains unsuccessful, surgical treatment often has to be performed. Primary indication has to comply with the symptoms, Side effects in the rectum and signs may be treated for a longer period by means of conservative therapy than those in the small intestine, which often triggers an ileus or malabsorption syndrome. The Stewart-Treves syndrome is discussed in lymphatic edema.
