Influence of Early Apical Release on Outcomes in Endoscopic Enucleation of the Prostate: Results From a Multicenter Series of 4392 Patients.

Objective: To evaluate outcomes after laser endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) stratified by whether early apical release (EAR) was performed or not.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent EEP with holmium or thulium fiber laser in 8 centers (January 2020-January 2022).

Exclusion Criteria: previous prostate/urethral surgery, prostate cancer, pelvic radiotherapy, concomitant lower urinary tract surgery.

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.

Incidence of urinary incontinence following endoscopic laser enucleation of the prostate by en-bloc and non- en-bloc techniques: a multicenter, real-world experience of 5068 patients.

We aim to evaluate the incidence of incontinence following laser endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) comparing en-bloc (Group 1) versus 2-lobe/3-lobe techniques (Group 2). We performed a retrospective review of patients undergoing EEP for benign prostatic enlargement in 12 centers between January 2020 and January 2022. Data were presented as median and interquartile range (IQR).

Results from a global multicenter registry of 6193 patients to refine endoscopic anatomical enucleation of the prostate (REAP) by evaluating trends and outcomes and nuances of prostate enucleation in a real-world setting.

Purpose: To collect a multicentric, global database to assess current preferences and outcomes for endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP).

Methods: Endourologists experienced in EEP from across the globe were invited to participate in the creation of this retrospective registry. Surgical procedures were performed between January 2020 and August 2022.

Holmium laser with MOSES technology (MoLEP) vs Thulium fiber laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) in a real-world setting. Mid-term outcomes from a multicenter propensity score analysis.

Purpose: To compare Holmium laser with MOSES technology (MoLEP) and Thulium fiber laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuFLEP) in terms of surgical and functional outcomes.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent either procedure in five centers (January 2020-January 2022).

Exclusion Criteria: previous urethral/prostatic surgery, radiotherapy, concomitant surgery.

Double-face Augmentation Urethroplasty for Bulbar Urethral Strictures: Technical Implications and Short-term Outcomes for a Dorsal Versus Ventral Approach.

Unlabelled: This study describes technical implications and compares short-term outcomes after a dorsal versus ventral approach for double-face augmentation urethroplasty (DFAU) for treating a near-obliterated bulbar urethral stricture (BUS). This was a retrospective evaluation of a prospectively collected database of patients with BUS (<2 cm) who underwent DFAU. The choice between the approaches depended on (1) landmark identification (the relation between the bulbospongiosus muscle and the distal end of the stricture) and (2) corpus spongiosum width.

Double-face augmentation urethroplasty for bulbar urethral strictures: Analysis of short-term outcomes.

Objective: To present our initial experience with double-face augmentation urethroplasty for near-obliterative bulbar urethral strictures and analyze the short-term outcomes.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a prospectively maintained database of patients with near-obliterative bulbar urethral strictures (>2 cm), who underwent double-face augmentation urethroplasty. The patients' demographic characteristics, clinical data, and data regarding the investigations conducted were analyzed.

Laparoscopic nephrectomy simplified - A "two-window technique" for safer approach to hilum for a novice.

Though the overall safety of laparoscopic nephrectomy (simple or radical) is well established, for a novice it remains a challenge. The classical description of laparoscopic nephrectomy entails dissection either from caudal to cephalad side or vice versa. Herein we describe our "two window technique" for managing renal hilum during laparoscopic (simple/radical) nephrectomy.

Transurethral Enucleation With Bipolar Energy (TUEB):AINU Technique and Short-term Outcomes.

Objective: To present our transurethral enucleation with bipolar energy (TUEB) technique, wherein the enucleated adenoma is resected while keeping it attached near the verumontanum avoiding the need of a morcellator, and to evaluate the safety and short-term outcomes of our technique of TUEB for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).

Methods: This was a retrospective evaluation of prospectively maintained database of patients with symptomatic BPH who underwent TUEB from January 2016 to September 2017. Patients with a minimum follow-up period of 6 months were included in the study.

Transurethral enucleation with bipolar energy for surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia: Our initial experience.

Introduction: Transurethral resection of the prostate has been considered as the gold standard for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). LASER enucleation procedures have emerged as a size-independent gold standard. The flip side of LASER procedures is the initial cost of investment and a long learning curve.

The AINU Technique for Laparoscopic Vesico-Vaginal Fistula Repair: A Preliminary Report.

Introduction: With safe obstetric practices now globally available, most vesico-vaginal fistulas (VVF) presenting in recent times are secondary to various gynecologic surgeries. Most of them are supra-trigonal in location. Laparoscopic repair of VVF is gaining ground as an alternative to open repair of VVF.
