Focal Cryoablation of Image-Localized Prostate Cancer.

Focal cryoablation of localized prostate cancer can offer patients superior genitourinary functional outcomes in terms of preservation of urinary continence and potency compared with radical whole-gland therapy, while maintaining intermediate-term oncologic control. We present a step-by-step guide to focal cryoablation of localized prostate cancer. A patient with elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate that revealed a prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RADS) four lesion.

Timing of sacral neurostimulation is important for increasing bladder capacity in the anesthetized rat.

We assessed the effects of limited application of sacral neurostimulation (SNS) during bladder filling on bladder capacity using our previously published SNS model in rats. Female Sprague-Dawley rats ( = 24) were urethane anesthetized (1.2 g/kg sc) and implanted with jugular venous and transvesical bladder catheters.

Intraurethral Steroids are a Safe and Effective Treatment for Stricture Disease in Patients with Biopsy Proven Lichen Sclerosus.

Purpose: We investigated outcomes of the contemporary practice of administering intraurethral steroids to treat stricture disease in patients with biopsy proven lichen sclerosus.

Materials And Methods: We performed an institutional review board approved review of the records of patients with biopsy proven lichen sclerosus stricture disease from October 2010 to September 2015. Study inclusion criteria were age 18 years or greater and male gender.
