Purpose: We evaluate the efficacy and safety of UGN-102 chemoablation for the primary treatment of patients with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Materials And Methods: ENVISION is an ongoing, multinational, single-arm, phase 3 study in patients with a biopsy-proven recurrence of untreated low-grade intermediate-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer. Patients received 6 weekly intravesical instillations of UGN-102 (mitomycin; outpatient setting) and were evaluated at 3 months.

Purpose: Low-grade intermediate-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer is a chronic illness commonly treated by repetitive transurethral resection of bladder tumor. We compared the efficacy and safety of intravesical chemoablation with UGN-102 (a reverse thermal gel containing mitomycin), with or without subsequent transurethral resection of bladder tumor, to transurethral resection of bladder tumor alone in patients with low-grade intermediate-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Materials And Methods: This prospective, randomized, phase 3 trial recruited patients with new or recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer to receive initial treatment with either UGN-102 once weekly for 6 weeks or transurethral resection of bladder tumor.

In the presence of hydronephrosis, as a result of ureteral malignant invasion, advanced pelvic tumor or retroperitoneal fibrosis, we most often perform a double J stent or percutaneous nephrostomy. In the search for a better quality of life for our patients in recent years in urological practice is increasingly becoming the use of subcutaneous nephrovesical bypass due to its proven safety, effectiveness and minimal invasiveness.

Paraffinoma of male genitalia (PMG) is a chronic granulomatous reaction to a "foreign body" developed after injection of exogenous substances (ES). There are many plastic surgical techniques for aesthetic and functional recovery of affected tissues. We report here use of unmeshed split-thickness skin grafts (unmSTSG) in patients with genital paraffinoma.

The villous adenoma is a benign epithelial tumor affecting most often the gastrointestinal tract, especially the colon and rectum. The incidence of this disease in the genitourinary tract is less than 1% as the most commonly affected organs are bladder, urethra, prostate, vulva and vagina. Only several cases of villous adenoma in the renal pelvis have been reported in the scientific literature.

In urology low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (LI-ESWT) finds major application in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) after nerve-sparing radical retropubic prostatectomy and Peyronie's disease. We presented a rare case of application of LI-ESWT in a 39-years old man with erectile dysfunction after penile trauma obtained during sexual intercourse.
