Article Synopsis
- - The British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) developed a consensus document to help manage benign female urethral lesions, utilizing expert opinions through a modified Delphi technique.
- - Common benign urethral issues in females include urethral mucosal prolapse, caruncles, cysts, and diverticulum, which can cause symptoms like blood in urine and voiding difficulties.
- - The goal of the consensus statement was to create a clear and practical guide for the diagnosis and treatment of these lesions to improve patient outcomes across the UK.
Objective: To perform endoscopy in patients with urinary diversions requires specific endoscopic skills, which can currently only be gained in clinical practice. We created a 3D-printed ex vivo ileal conduit model (stoma and conduit with ureters and 2 kidneys) to simulate "conduitoscopy" and evaluated the realism and limitations of the model.
Methods: Accurate anatomical features were represented using an appropriate reusable design, realistic mechanical qualities with several material types, and 3D-printed components.
Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study is to create a consensus statement to guide the management of ketamine uropathy.
- A modified nominal group technique was used to review literature and develop consensus statements, led by a specialized section of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS).
- The results outline a comprehensive management pathway for dealing with urological complications related to the recreational use of ketamine, applicable in both elective and emergency settings.
Objective: To develop and validate a low-cost, portable, and reusable simulation model for optical internal urethrotomy (OIU) training.
Methods: A 3D-printed low-cost simulation model for OIU was designed locally and the final model was evaluated by trainees and trainers at the urology boot camps (UK, Belgium, Portugal, Poland). Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire, using a 6-item 5-point Likert Scale, to assess the model's anatomic realism.
Background: Internal distraction rods have been described as an alternative to halo gravity traction for the treatment of severe scoliosis. Distraction rods can be challenging to use in patients with existing fusion masses. The authors report an internal distraction, construct-to-construct rod technique using multiple-hook fixation in a patient with a sharply angulated cervicothoracic scoliosis fusion mass.
