Phallus preservation and reconstruction: 5-year outcomes of national penile cancer centralisation in the Republic of Ireland.

Introduction: Penile cancer is a rare urological malignancy with an age-standardised incidence of 0.8 per 100,000 person-years [1]. Given this low incidence it has been suggested that centralised care may improve patient outcomes in relation to phallus sparing surgery and nodal assessment [2].

Perspectives on technology: to use or to reuse, that is the endoscopic question-a systematic review of single-use endoscopes.

Objective: To compare clinical outcomes of single-use endoscopes with those of reusable endoscopes to better define their role within urology.

Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases was performed. All studies comparing the clinical outcomes of participants undergoing urological procedures with single-use endoscopes to those of participants treated with reusable endoscopes were included.

In vivo ureteroscopic intrarenal pressures and clinical outcomes: a multi-institutional analysis of 120 consecutive patients.

Objectives: To evaluate the pressure range generated in the human renal collecting system during ureteroscopy (URS), in a large patient sample, and to investigate a relationship between intrarenal pressure (IRP) and outcome.

Patients And Methods: A prospective multi-institutional study was conducted, with ethics board approval; February 2022-March 2023. Recruitment was of 120 consecutive consenting adult patients undergoing semi-rigid URS and/or flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) for urolithiasis or diagnostic purposes.

A series of unfortunate bladder events: An illustrative case series of a diverse cohort of bladder perforations.

Bladder perforation is a potentially life-threatening condition, typically occurring after genitourinary trauma. The vast majority of cases are secondary to blunt abdominal trauma resulting in pelvic fractures, with motor vehicle accidents the commonest cause. There are however a wide range of underlying causes, including iatrogenic injuries and spontaneous perforations.

Renal lobar dysmorphism: a potential mimic of renal malignancy.

A renal pseudotumour is any apparent renal mass that simulates a tumour on radiological imaging but is composed of normal tissue. Renal pseudotumours may be inflammatory, vascular, postsurgical or congenital. We report a case of renal lobar dysmorphism (RLD) of the kidney, a congenital renal pseudotumour.

Evaluation of a new disposable flexible ureterorenoscope and comparison to an established disposable flexible ureterorenoscope: a prospective, observational study.

Purpose: To objectively and subjectively assess the performance and surgical outcomes of the new Innovex EU-scope™ single-use digital flexible ureteroscope (fURS).

Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out (August 2019 to May 2020). The new single-use fURS (Innovex Medical Devices Co.

Delaying Urgent Exploration in Neonatal Testicular Torsion May Have Significant Consequences for the Contralateral Testis: A Critical Literature Review.

Objective: To assess the optimal management strategy for boys with neonatal testicular torsion (NTT) in the first 30 days of life, and to stratify outcomes for prenatal, postnatal, unilateral, synchronous, and asynchronous events METHODS: All articles including case reports published between 1946 and 2020 in Embase/Scopus/Medline/Pubmed and Web of Science that had a defined diagnosis of NTT within the first 30 days of life were reviewed. Data and outcomes were analyzed individually, and together as pooled data, using a random effect model.

Results: There was a total of 152 studies representing 1336 patients.

Evaluation of the Impact of Ureteroscope, Access Sheath, and Irrigation System Selection on Intrarenal Pressures in a Porcine Kidney Model.

Elevated intrarenal pressure (IRP) during flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) is a predictor of postoperative complications. The aim of this study is to evaluate IRP during FURS in a porcine kidney model to determine the safest combination of irrigation device, ureteral access sheath (UAS), and ureteroscope. Urinary tracts were harvested from Landrace pigs slaughtered for the food chain.
