Ejaculatory-sparing transurethral prostatectomy: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent urologic condition leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Transurethral prostatectomy has been a cornerstone for surgical management of LUTS due to BPH. A growing interest has recently emerged to develop a surgical approach that can decrease the effect on sexual and ejaculatory functions while maintaining its efficacy in treating LUTS.

Trifecta in flexible ureteroscopy for treatment of renal and upper ureteral calculi: A multicenter study.

Purpose: To determine predictors for missing trifecta in patients who underwent flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) for treatment of renal and upper ureteric calculi.

Patients And Methods: The data of adult patients with renal or upper ureteral stones who underwent FURS from June 2021 through December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Stone-free status (no residual stones > 3 mm) was evaluated after 3 months with non-contrast CT.

The Headache of Post-Transurethral Prostate Surgery Pyuria: Pursuit for Evidence.

To prospectively assess early post-transurethral prostate surgery (TUPS) urinalysis changes and bacteriuria with its clinical relevance. Patients with benign prostate obstruction enrolled for TUPS were prospectively assessed. Patients were assessed at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks postoperatively by the dysuria-visual-analogue-scale (DVAS), international prostate symptom scores (IPSS)-quality of life, uroflow, and postvoid residual.

Ejaculatory Hood Sparing versus Standard Laser Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate: Sexual and Urodynamic Assessment through a Double Blinded, Randomized Trial.

Purpose: In a preliminary clinical trial we assessed the efficacy of ejaculatory hood sparing GreenLight™ Laser prostate photoselective vaporization to preserve antegrade ejaculation and urodynamic relief of obstruction compared to standard GreenLight prostate photoselective vaporization.

Materials And Methods: Standard prostate photoselective vaporization was classically performed in 24 patients. Ejaculatory hood sparing vaporization was performed with preservation of the paracollicular and supracollicular tissue proximal to the verumontanum in 25 patients.

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis: clinical features and long-term renal function outcome.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term renal function outcome of management of retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF)-induced ureteral obstruction.

Methods: Thirty-six patients with idiopathic RPF-induced ureteral obstruction were classified according to the management type into two groups, group A; managed by indwelling JJ stent and group B managed by ureterolysis and omental wrapping (UOR). The primary outcome was to define the long-term outcome of management on RF.

Sildenafil citrate as a medical expulsive therapy for distal ureteric stones: A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study.

Objective: To study the effect of sildenafil citrate on spontaneous passage of distal ureteric stones (DUS).

Patients And Methods: This was a randomised double-blinded placebo-controlled study of 100 patients with DUS. Inclusion criteria were: male, age 18-65 years, normal renal function, and a single radiopaque unilateral DUS of 5-10 mm.
