Article Synopsis
- Peyronie's disease (PD) is a medical condition that causes the penis to bend and can lead to pain and trouble having erections.
- The researchers looked at different treatments for PD, such as injections and therapies, to help doctors understand what works best.
- They found that using certain injections and traction devices can help with bending and overall symptoms, hoping to improve care for people dealing with this issue.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to examine the prevalence of incidental prostate cancer (IPCa) in patients who underwent surgery for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO), revealing that 16.3% of those had IPCa, even with negative exams.
- The research utilized data from patients treated at a major center between January 2020 and December 2022, including factors like PSA levels and previous imaging results to identify potential predictors of IPCa occurrence.
- Findings suggest that higher PSA density (PSAd) is linked to more severe cancer, while negative mpMRI scans appear to lower the chances of clinically significant prostate cancer; these results prompt a reconsideration of current urology guidelines if confirmed by further studies.
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) using flexible ureterorenoscopes is a cornerstone approach for renal stone removal, yet it carries a significant risk of postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI). With the emergence of single-use ureterorenoscopes, there is growing interest in their potential to mitigate this risk. This study aimed to compare the postoperative infection rates between single-use and multi-use ureterorenoscopes in RIRS procedures and to identify predictors of postoperative UTI.

Previous reports revealed transformed SCLC from -mutant NSCLC portends very poor prognosis and lack effective treatment. Genomic analyses revealed and loss of function increase the risk of SCLC transformation.

We aimed to describe our experience in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with a three-arms setting for the first off-clamp series using the new Hugo RAS System.
Methods: Patients were placed on an extended flank position at the margin of the surgical bed with a slightly flexion (45°).
