Diagnosis of Pediatric Appendicovesical Fistula by Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound: A Case Report Appendicovesical fistula is a rare complication associated with appendicitis, Crohn's disease, or appendiceal tumors, posing significant diagnostic challenges. We reported a pediatric case of appendicovesical fistula that remained undiagnosed by non-contrast CT, fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). Although the bladder orifice was identified during cystoscopy, its connection to the fistula site could not be determined. However, the trans-vesical contrast-enhanced ultrasound clearly demonstrated the presence of fistula.

Editorial Comment on "Urethral outcomes of the labia minora ring flap for metoidioplasty and phalloplasty" The authors present their experience performing a standardized labia minora ring flap for urethral lengthening during metoidioplasty and phalloplasty. The overall volume (n=311) was impressive, and rates of urethral stricture were low (6% for metoidioplasty and 18% for phalloplasty). When considering alternative approaches to urethral lengthening, one should consider the complexity of the reconstruction (e.g. more dissection/mobilization/suture lines) with the goals of the procedure and risks of complications.
