Introduction: Several techniques are used for laser enucleation of benign prostate hyperplasia, including two- and three-lobe enucleation, enucleation of all lobes in a single block (en-bloc), and enucleation of all nodes in a single block without longitudinal incisions (total en-bloc).

Aim: A prospective and retrospective analysis of the results of two-lobe, en-bloc, and total en-bloc using thulium fiber laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) techniques was performed.

Method: s.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looks at how the size of the prostate affects patients’ recovery and symptoms after a surgery called RASP, which helps treat an enlarged prostate (BPH).
  • They reviewed 25 articles and found that patients with smaller prostates had worse symptoms before surgery but improved more after, while those with larger prostates still had some moderate symptoms.
  • The researchers concluded that RASP is a safe and effective surgery for treating BPH, but more studies are needed to understand how prostate size influences the results.

Introduction: Placebo influence on such objective indicators, as sperm quality and infertility, has not been studied previously, but some studies report that placebo may distort even objective outcomes. The aim of current study is to assess the placebo effect on fertility in patients suffering from sperm abnormalities and/or infertility.

Evidence Acquisition: We conducted a search of two databases (Scopus and MEDLINE) and identified placebo-controlled clinical trials which focused on sperm abnormalities and/or male infertility treatment.

Context: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a cost-effective radiation-free diagnostic method that can be used for renal tumor postoperative visualization after ablative treatment.

Objective: To assess CEUS diagnostic accuracy comparing with CT and MRI as a follow-up method in short-term and long-term postoperative periods after renal tumor ablation.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in Scopus and Medline databases using the query "(kidney OR rena* OR RCC) AND (ablation OR RFA OR MWA OR cryo*) AND CEUS".

A brief overview of current data on the use of three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of the prostate for preoperative planning of radical prostatectomy (RP) is provided in the article. Non-systematic literature review in PubMed and Embase was carried out. The original articles were selected dedicated the use of 3D reconstruction of the prostate prior to RP.
