Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in short-circuit outpatient care: Is prostatic volume a limiting factor?

Introduction And Objectives: Our goals were to study prostatic volume as a limiting factor after HoLEP surgery with short-circuit outpatient care (4 h) and to define other factors that affect the success of the proposed circuit.

Materials And Methods: An observational analysis and review was performed using a prospective database. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables were included for patients who were scheduled for short-circuit outpatient care (SCOC) and who underwent HoLEP between 2020 and 2023.

Predictive factors of post-HoLEP incontinence: differences between stress and urgency urinary incontinence.

Introduction: The analysis of post-HoLEP urinary incontinence (UI) has traditionally focused on stress UI. Our aim is to evaluate the factors associated with stress and urgency UI in the first month after the surgery.

Methods: Data were obtained from patients who underwent HoLEP by the same experienced surgeon.

Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Management of Penile Cancer: Results from the Spanish National Registry of Penile Cancer.

Introduction: Penile cancer (PC) is a rare malignancy with an overall incidence in Europe of 1/100,000 males/year. In Europe, few studies report the epidemiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, and treatment of PC. The aim of this study is to present an updated outlook on the aforementioned factors of PC in Spain.

Assessing the Clinical Benefit of UBC Rapid in the Surveillance and Initial Diagnosis of Bladder Cancer.

Introduction: Several studies have shown that abnormal urine levels of cytokeratins 8 and 18 are associated with bladder cancer. However, the clinical benefit of the UBC (urinary bladder cancer) Rapid assay has remained unclear.

Patients And Methods: We performed the UBC Rapid assay and voided cytology in 336 patients-297 in surveillance for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and 39 with newly diagnosed bladder cancer.
