| | Penile Urethral Fistula as a Complication of Circumcision. |
 | | The rarity of urethral injury during circumcision is probably due to the fact that this structure is situated in the midline ventrally, underlying only a small part of the circular operative field. | | | Urethral injury seems more likely to occur when there is bleeding from the frenum and an attempt is made to control it with a suture. | | | In attempting to repair such a fistula, it should be borne in mind that in a circumcision, little free skin is available, particularly in the area of the frenum. |

| | Urethral PR was very similar, in both magnitude and shape, in the three species studied, being even more consistent (in pig and rat) than the urethral relaxation elicited by low-frequency EFS. | | | The recovery of sheep urethral PR observed upon the addition of NO and the significant inhibition by L-thiocitrulline of the recovery induced by EFS reinforce the involvement of the L-arginine-NO pathway in the turnover of the photo-sensitive urethral nitro-compound. | | | The reduction of both EFS- and LS-induced urethral relaxations by pre-incubation with the specific soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor ODQ, together with the lengthening of both responses in the presence of the specific cGMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor zaprinast, suggest that activation of guanylyl cyclase, and the subsequent rise in cGMP levels, underlie both relaxant responses. |
