Multi-institutional 1-year bulbar urethroplasty outcomes using a standardized prospective cystoscopic follow-up protocol.

Objective: To evaluate multi-institutional outcomes of bulbar urethroplasty utilizing a standardized cystoscopic follow-up protocol.

Methods: Eight reconstructive surgeons prospectively enrolled urethral stricture patients in a multi-institutional study and performed postoperative cystoscopy at 3 and 12 months. Anatomic failure was defined as the inability to pass a flexible cystoscope without force.

Case report: percutaneous cryoablation of a small renal lesion necessitating modified lateral decubitus position.

When performing percutaneous cryoablation for renal masses, the standard patient positioning has been the prone position. We present a case in which placing the patient in a modified lateral decubitus position aided in the access of probe placement for percutaneous cryoablation.
