Objective: To identify the currently utilised techniques of anterior urethroplasty described in literature for treatment of urethral strictures, assess the effectiveness of the identified techniques based on re-stricture and complication rates, evaluate, and suggest treatment options based on current evidence for urethral strictures at different locations and of different lengths.
Methods: A systematic review of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases from conception up to September 2020 was performed. Primary outcomes included success rates measured via re-stricture rates and the post-operative maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax).
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed previous research on PET/CT imaging to compare FDG uptake in healthy testes, benign, and malignant testicular conditions.
- Seventeen studies involving 830 patients were reviewed, revealing significant FDG uptake differences between malignant and both healthy and benign testes, but no difference between healthy and benign testes.
- The results suggest that while FDG-PET can help differentiate malignancy, additional research is needed to explore its potential role in assessing fertility and sperm health.
