Evaluation of a urinary filtration device for kidney stone retrieval: Pi-Box®.

Introduction: There is an unmet need to offer a proper urinary straining device for patients in whom spontaneous expulsion of stones is expected. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacity, duration and ease of use of a new filtration device: the Pi-Box®.

Material And Methods: This was a single-institution, non-randomized open-label study.

Encrusted Urinary Tract Infections Due to Corynebacteria Species.

Introduction: Encrusted pyelitis and cystitis are peculiar disorders characterized by the calcification of the vesical, the pyelic, and/or the ureteral walls. These calcifications are composed of struvite and calcium carbonate‒apatite due to the presence of .

Methods: We have identified the clinical features and outcomes of 17 patients with encrusted pyelitis (n = 15) or encrusted cystitis (n = 2).

Outcomes after salvage radical prostatectomy and first-line radiation therapy or HIFU for recurrent localized prostate cancer: results from a multicenter study.

Introduction: Despite no consensus on the optimal management of recurrent prostate cancer after primary radiation or HIFU therapy, salvage prostatectomy (sRP) is reserved for only 3% of patients because of technical challenges and frequent post-operative complications. We assessed outcomes after sRP in a series of patients with localized PCa and that had received radiation therapy or HIFU as a first-line treatment.

Materials And Methods: Data from nine French referral centers on patients treated with sRP between 2005 and 2017 were collected.
