Streamlined surgical approach for coexistent urethral stricture and benign prostatic enlargement: feasibility, safety and patency results.

Purpose: To evaluate the technical feasibility, safety, and patency results of a simultaneous surgical approach to repair urethral stricture and treat benign prostatic enlargement endoscopically in a highly selected group of patients at a tertiary referral center. We hypothesize that this is technically feasible, safe, and does not affect urethroplasty outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective review of adult men who underwent simultaneous urethroplasty and endoscopic prostatic surgery between May 2017 and May 2024 at our institution was conducted.

Bile duct reconstruction after iatrogenic injury in the elderly.

Unlabelled: Bile duct injuries occur with a frequency of 1 to 5 per 1000 cases as a result of an increase in the number of procedures performed. Elderly patients have more severe lithiasis- related diseases than the younger population. This fact increases the likelihood of conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery, and the probability of injury.
