Glans cap-preserving dorsal inlay-free graft augmentation technique for reconstruction of meatal stenosis and fossa navicularis strictures: Analysis of short-term functional outcomes.

Introduction: Meatal stenosis and fossa navicularis strictures (FNSs) are commonly caused by lichen sclerosus and instrumentation. We present the technique and short-term functional outcomes of glans cap-preserving dorsal inlay-free graft augmentation for the reconstruction of meatal stenosis and FNS.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients with meatal stenosis and FNS who underwent glans cap-preserving dorsal inlay-free graft augmentation at our institute since 2019.

Techniques in minimally invasive transperitoneal pyeloplasty: A compilation.

Context: Minimally invasive management (laparoscopic/robot assisted) is currently the standard of care for managing pelvi ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). Open techniques of management of PUJO are well described in literature. However, there appears to be relative lack of description of minimally invasive techniques in the literature.

To determine correlation between VIRADS scoring and pathological staging in bladder cancer: A prospective study and review of literature.

The development of standardized reporting systems is of paramount importance in medical-imaging. Based on the "RADS" methodology, PIRADS and BI-RADS have been successfully used. The management of bladder cancer (BC) depends on the stage at the time of identification.

Renal mucormycosis presenting during the COVID-19 pandemic: A series of 11 cases from a tertiary care center in India.

Introduction: Renal mucormycosis has been documented to occur even in apparently immunocompetent individuals. Owing to the rarity of this disease, literature on its management is small. We present our experience of diagnosing and managing 11 cases of primary renal mucormycosis who presented during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in India.

Patient REnal and Tumor Attribute Score (PRETA Score): a comprehensive renal nephrometry score for use in patients with renal masses planned for minimally invasive nephron sparing surgery.

Few comprehensive nephrometry scoring systems correlate renal morphology and patient factors like presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with the trifecta outcomes after partial nephrectomy (PN). We have proposed a new nephrometry score that correlates these factors to perioperative outcomes in minimally invasive PN. Records of all patients who underwent robot assisted laparoscopic PN at our institute were retrospectively reviewed.

Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma: A difficult diagnosis.

Mucinous Tubular and Spindle Cell Carcinoma (MTSCC) is infrequently seen renal malignancy with favorable outcome, when diagnosed in the early stage. Once out of kidney it is have lethal course. Radiologically MTSCC is heterogeneously hypo-enhancing renal mass in delayed phase, may mimic to papillary renal cell carcinoma and in histopathology showed these tumoral cells shows complex immunophenotype expression.

Functional and aesthetic outcome after ventral spatulation of urethra in partial penectomy.

Introduction: Partial penectomy is one of the common organ preserving procedures for penile malignancies and certain benign conditions. Partial penectomy causes psychosexual morbidity to the patient. Dorsal spatulation of urethra is classically done while performing the procedure, it carries risk of meatal stenosis along with compromised cosmesis.

Air vs contrast pyelogram for initial puncture access in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a randomized controlled trial.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a standard procedure for large renal stones. Contrast (traditionally) as well as air is being used to delineate pelvi-calyceal system (PCS) to perform initial puncture. Contrast, when used has certain disadvantages including poor differentiation of anterior and posterior calyces.

The Urological Society of India survey on urinary incontinence practice patterns among urologists.

Introduction: The Urological Society of India guidelines panel on urinary incontinence (UI) conducted a survey among its members to determine their practice patterns in the management of UI. The results of this survey are reported in this manuscript.

Methods: An anonymous online survey was carried out among members of the USI to determine their practice patterns regarding UI using a predeveloped questionnaire on using SurveyMonkey.

Monopolar versus bipolar transurethral resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia: Operative outcomes and surgeon preferences, a real-world scenario.

Context: Monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (M-TURP) is considered the gold standard for the management of bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Its newly introduced modification, bipolar TURP (B-TURP), promises to overcome its most prominent shortcomings, namely bleeding and dilutional hyponatremia. Literature is conflicting regarding merits of B-TURP over M-TURP.

Transrectal impalement of an incense stick in a child presenting as foreign body in the urinary bladder.

The diversity of objects that can be found in the urinary bladder often surpasses the urologist's imagination and mostly they are introduced per urethrally. Impalement injuries of the rectum with bladder perforation have been rarely reported. A high index of clinical suspicion is required to make the diagnosis of bladder perforation while assessing patients presenting with rectal impalement.
