Evaluating the utility of the HAS-BLED bleeding-estimator tool for transurethral resection of prostate.

Objectives: To evaluate the utility of the HAS-BLED bleeding risk-estimation tool to predict for clinically significant postoperative haematuria in patients receiving transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).

Patients And Methods: A single-centre, retrospective cohort analysis of patients underwent TURP from April 2019 to December 2023 for treatment of symptomatic benign prostate hyperplasia. The primary objective was to evaluate reliability of HAS-BLED score in predicting postoperative bleeding event.

Comparison of perioperative bleeding risk between direct oral anticoagulants in transurethral resection of prostate.

Objectives: To evaluate the perioperative morbidity and mortality associated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin for patients receiving transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).

Patients And Methods: This was a single-centre, retrospective cohort analysis of patients who underwent TURP for benign prostate hyperplasia from April 2019 to December 2023. The primary objective was to evaluate the perioperative bleeding and thromboembolic risk between anticoagulated (AC) vs no-AC patients.

Rare vascular complication of ESWL pseudoaneurysm of arc of Buhler.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a standard treatment for nephrolithiasis. It is widely employed due to its relative safety profile when compared with other treatment options. Recognised complications include localised pain at site, steinstrasse, perinephric haematoma and ureteric obstruction.

Management of hydroureteronephrosis secondary to an aberrant middle rectal artery in a patient with congenital unilateral renal agenesis.

Presented here is the case of a 21-year-old man, with a family history of unilateral renal agenesis, who presented with obstruction of his solitary functioning right kidney. Initially thought to be secondary to an obturator fossa hernia on endoscopic and retrograde pyelography assessment, diagnosis of obstruction secondary to an aberrant middle rectal artery was determined at laparotomy and division of this vessel relieved the patient's obstruction without any short-term or long-term complications. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature of hydroureteronephrosis secondary to an aberrant middle rectal artery.
