Article Synopsis
- Robotic assisted partial nephrectomy is the preferred treatment for small kidney tumors, but it can lead to rare complications like ureteric stricture, affecting patient wellbeing.
- Surgical options for severe stricture may not be suitable for high-risk patients, who may require alternatives like a ureteric double J stent or nephrostomy tube.
- A case study showed that when conventional surgery isn't possible due to tumor proximity, using a metallic ureteral stent (Memokath) provides better durability and improves the quality of life compared to double stents for managing ureteric strictures.
Background: Studies exploring the effect of COVID-19 on male reproductive system suggest a detrimental association, however with conflicting results. The aim of this study was to assess the association between COVID-19 infection and male reproductive potential including hormone profiles and semen parameters.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 48 patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection.
Article Synopsis
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the leading cause of urinary retention in men, and while traditional surgery (TURP) is effective, it has significant risks, prompting interest in less invasive options like the Rezum system.
- A systematic review of studies using Rezum found it to be effective in treating urinary retention from BPH, with an 85% success rate in patients who had previously relied on catheters.
- Rezum therapy showed a low complication rate (3.8 to 4.3%), with only mild and self-limited issues, making it a safe alternative to more invasive surgical options.
Introduction: Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a frequent urological diagnosis that affects men's quality of life. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a recent treatment option for patients with CPPS. We evaluated ESWT's short and long - term efficacy in managing CPPS.

Methods: We performed a bibliometric analysis to assess qualitatively and quantitatively the peer-reviewed articles published from Arab countries from inception to 2022.
