Introduction: Vasectomy is a widely used, safe, effective method of permanent contraception and contributes to healthy sexuality.
Aims: We have conducted a 3-step observational clinical study to develop a vasectomy regret risk score and guide patients and clinicians when discussing a vasectomy.
Methods: A 3-step approach has been followed.
Neuromodulation has been used in the treatment of various pelvic organ dysfunctions for almost 40 years and several placebo-controlled studies have confirmed its clinical effect. Many neuromodulation methods using different devices and stimulation parameters, targeting different neural structures have been introduced, but only a limited number have been adopted into routine clinical use. A substantial volume of basic research and clinical studies addressing specific effects of neuromodulation in the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) have been published to date; however, their mechanistic implications have not been comprehensively summarized.

- The study aimed to determine the links between MRI measurements of the membranous urethra and prostate volume with urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
- It involved 100 patients, examining MRI scans before and a year after surgery, measuring anatomical features and assessing urinary function using a standardized questionnaire.
- Results showed that longer membranous urethral lengths (MUL) before and after surgery were positively associated with higher continence rates, while larger prostate volumes were linked to increased urinary incontinence.
Objective: In high-risk patients, prostatic stents may alleviate obstruction at the prostate level. Since 2020 we have used thermo-expandable intraprostatic nitinol stents. Here we document outcomes through the first years with the procedure.

- The study investigates the outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty (RALP) for treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction using the DaVinci Si surgical system, focusing on surgical and functional results.
- A total of 194 patients were analyzed, revealing that 33% faced postoperative complications, while the 1-year success rates varied from 78% to 92% based on the underlying condition for surgery.
- The findings conclude that RALP is a safe procedure with minimal major complications and an overall acceptable success rate for treating the condition.
