	VI. The Arteries. 5b. The Common Iliac Arteries. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		It passes forward along the lower part of the bladder and across the side of the prostate to the root of the penis, where it perforates the urogenital diaphragm, and gives off the branches usually derived from the internal pudendal artery.
		The deficiency most frequently met with is that in which the internal pudendal ends as the artery of the urethral bulb, the dorsal and deep arteries of the penis being derived from the accessory pudendal.
		It runs forward and medialward, pierces the inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm and enters the corpus cavernosum urethræ, in which it is continued forward to the glans penis.

	XI. Splanchnology. 3. The Urogenital Apparatus. Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body.
		—The first appearance of the genital gland is essentially the same in the two sexes, and consists in a thickening of the epithelial layer which lines the peritoneal cavity on the medial side of the urogenital fold (Fig.
		The bulbo-urethral glands of Cowper in the male, and greater vestibular glands of Bartholin in the female, also arise as diverticula from the epithelial lining of the urogenital sinus.
		Meanwhile the urethral plate of the glans breaks down centrally to form a median groove continuous with the primitive ostium.

	U.S. Patent: 5520684 - Transurethral radio frequency apparatus for ablation of the prostate gland and method - May 28, ...
		In general, the radio frequency apparatus for ablation of the prostate gland through the urethra consists of a probe in the form of a flexible elongate member having proximal and distal extremities and adapted to be inserted into the urethra.
		Because the prostate gland in which the ablation is to be performed is segmented into two parts disposed on opposite sides of the urethra it may be desirable to provide segmented insulating layers 76 on opposed sides of the sleeve electrode 46 as shown in FIG.
		This can be readily accomplished since the prostate gland is generally of a known size with the distance being between the opposite extremities of the prostate gland being known so that the RF sleeve electrode can be properly positioned within the prostate gland.

		It pierces the urogenital diaphragm meddial to the inferior ramus fo the ischium close to the bulb of the urethra and then divides into three branches—the bulbourethral artery, the urethral artery and the cavernous artery or deep artery of the penis; it terminates as the deep dorsal artery of the penis.
		The urethral artery commonly arises as a separate branch form the penile artery, but may arise from the artery to the bulb, the cavernous or the dorsal artery.
		The cavernous nerves arise from the pelvic plexus from the lateral surface of the rectum.

	eMedicine - Urethral Diverticula : Article Excerpt by: Sandip P Vasavada, MD
		Although urethral diverticulum is often difficult to diagnose, it has been identified with increasing frequency over the past several decades because of increased physician awareness of the condition.
		Urethral diverticula commonly occur in the distal third of the urethra.
		Pathologically, the diverticulum is a urethral evagination consisting of mostly fibrous tissue.

	eMedicine - Prostate Hyperplasia, Benign : Article Excerpt by: Raymond J Leveillee, MD
		Cellular accumulation and gland enlargement may be due to epithelial and stromal proliferation, impaired preprogrammed cell death (apoptosis), or both.
		BPH involves both the stromal and epithelial elements of the prostate arising in the periurethral and transition zones of the gland; the condition is considered a normal part of the aging process in men and is hormonally dependent on testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) production.
		The gland is composed of several regions or lobes that are enclosed by an outer layer of tissue (capsule).

	Cryosurgery as a Treatment for Prostate Carcinoma Results and Complications (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Because of the inability of 5 cryoprobes to freeze a prostate gland with volume > 45 cc, 47 of the 83 patients were treated with androgen ablation therapy prior to the cryosurgery to shrink the gland.
		The termination point for the freezing process occurred when the entire prostate gland was encompassed by the area of shadowing and the white line of the ice ball encroached on the muscularis (dark band) around the rectal wall.
		Urethral slough, a result of necrosis of the prostatic urethra, is the most common complication after cryosurgery (having occurred in 45 of 95 patients in this study, or 47%).

	THE MERCK MANUAL, Sec. 17, Ch. 218, Prostate Disease
		Multiple fibroadenomatous nodules occur in the periurethral region of the prostate gland, probably originating within the periurethral glands rather than in the true fibromuscular prostate (surgical capsule), which is displaced peripherally by progressive growth of the nodules.
		Urethral catheterization cystoscopy or ultrasonography after voiding measures residual urine, and catheterization permits preliminary drainage to stabilize renal function and adequately control UTI.
		Urethral or suprapubic catheter drainage may be desirable in advanced bladder outlet obstruction.

	Woman's Diagnostic Cyber Articles - Urinary Tract Problems in Women and Urethral Dilatation
		Urethral syndrome is defined as 'symptoms suggestive of a lower tract urinary infection but in the absence of significant bacteruria with a conventional pathogen' (3).
		It is not fair to say that urethral syndrome is not due to infection because many physicians believe that it is due to a low grade infection of the Skene's glands on the sides and bottom of the urethra.
		The Skene's glands are embryologically related to the prostate gland in the male, thus urethral syndrome may almost be a type of chronic prostatitis in a woman (5).

	Canine Prostate
		The prostate (commonly mispronounced as "prostrate") is a gland located near the neck of the urinary bladder of male dogs.
		It may be associated with hormones from the testicles, adrenal glands, or pituitary glands or it may occur without any association with hormones.
		Samples of prostatic fluid are recovered by passing a urethral catheter to the level of the prostate and massaging the prostate to "milk" fluid out of it.

		A catheter is placed into the lower urethra, 30cc of an aerosolized Surgilube mixture is injected, the prostate is imaged from the base (top of the gland) to the apex (bottom of the gland) in 5mm transverse sections, and the urethral location is delineated.
		By adjusting dwell times and dwell positions, a dosimetry plan is individualized to deliver a high dose of radiation to the prostate gland while minimizing the dose to the urethra and rectum.
		Since the urethral dose is kept to tolerance level, the risk of subsequent incontinence is minimized.

	The Hindu : Demystifying the prostate
		As the gland starts enlarging, it compresses the urethra traversing through it and causing difficulty in passing urine.
		Using electricity as its energy source and under vision, the prostate gland is resected and a channel is made to help a person pass urine better.
		Prostatitis is an inflammatory condition of the prostate, which can be bacterial or abacterial depending on the type of infection and is mostly prevalent during the sexually active age and in diabetics.

	Female Ejaculation
		Skene’s glands are smaller in size than the male prostate, and it would only seem logical to assume that the amount of “ejaculate” would be commensurate.
		Secondly there is a greater chance of outward ejaculation (by the female), since the urethral canal is not compressed in a way as to inhibit the flow of fluid out of the urethral opening.
		Assure that the urethral tract not unduly pressured; compressing the urethra may result in the emptying of ejaculate directly into the bladder (as opposed to the urethral opening).

		This allows a more uniform implantation of the prostate gland since the needles can be inserted parallel to each other, unobstructed by the pubic arch.
		It has been reported that patients with large volume glands that exceed 60 cc are difficult to implant and when using the preloaded needle technique it is advised that a pubic arch study be performed to determine if interference will limit the needle path.
		Nonetheless, a patient with a high AUA score coupled with an enlarged prostate gland should be evaluated very carefully for permanent prostate brachytherapy and be advised of the increased risk of post-operative urinary morbidity.
