Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of different irrigation setups and ureteral access sheath sizes on intrarenal pressure during flexible ureteroscopy in pigs.
- Utilizing anesthetized female pigs and a flexible ureteroscope that recorded pressure, the researchers performed procedures with varying irrigation methods (gravity vs. manual pumping) and UAS sizes (11/13 and 12/14).
- Results showed significantly lower intrarenal pressure with the use of UAS and under various irrigation methods, indicating the potential for improved surgical outcomes through real-time pressure monitoring during ureteroscopy.
Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), but infections pose a significant threat to its success. Current guidelines lack antifungal recommendations, despite rising fungal infection rates post-IPP surgery. This review examines epidemiology, risk factors (including diabetes mellitus, immunosuppression, and obesity), and pathogenesis, highlighting the role of biofilm formation in device contamination.

- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of using high-power Holmium: Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Ho:YAG) lasers over 100 W for bladder stone treatment.
- An experimental setup involved testing on artificial stones and porcine bladder, while a clinical trial was conducted on 35 patients with various laser power settings.
- Results showed a 100% stone-free rate in patients, faster ablation rates with high power, and minimal complications, indicating that Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy is a safe and efficient method for treating bladder stones.

Purpose: The aim of this study is the evaluation of the distribution of paclitaxel (PTX) released by a coated balloon in the layers of rabbit's urethra.
Methods: 18 rabbits were included. A laser device was used for the stricture formation.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the learning curve for four basic surgical skills in both laparoscopic and robotic surgeries using the avatera® system.
- Participants, who had no prior experience, practiced tasks after watching educational materials and undergoing 2-hour training, with their performance times measured across multiple attempts.
- Results showed that practice significantly reduced completion times, and prior laparoscopic experience enhanced training efficiency, indicating that robotic skills can be learned more quickly than laparoscopic ones.
