Current era HOLEP with MOSES 2.0 technology compared to the gold standard TURP.

Purpose: Bipolar TURP is regarded as the gold standard for treatment of BPH. Historically, when compared to HOLEP, bTURP has been found to have shorter operative times and is considered more efficient. We sought to compare the efficiency, efficacy, and safety of current era HOLEP with MOSES 2.

Endourologic Procedures of the Upper Urinary Tract and the Effects on Intrarenal Pressure and Temperature.

Endourologic procedures, including ureteroscopy (URS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), are associated with an elevation in intrarenal pressures (IRPs) and irrigation temperatures. Recent research has focused on methods to reduce IRP and irrigation temperatures, with the ultimate goal to limit the consequences associated with these deviations. The purpose of our study is to provide a narrative review on the effects of endourologic procedures on pressure and temperature and provide recommendations to minimize these changes.

HIVinfo and ClinicalInfo.

HIVinfo and ClincalInfo are useful resources for both health-care professionals and consumers to use in better understanding one of the biggest health care challenges of the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. HIV/AIDS and its treatment has changed over the past four decades and this resource has changed accordingly. Today, HIVinfo and ClinicalInfo serve as leading resources in medical information.

Are urologic surgeons performing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy at the University of Alberta meeting surgical quality performance benchmarks? The PROCURE-02 quality assurance study.

Introduction: Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a standard of care primary treatment for men with clinically localized prostate cancer (CLPC). The 2010 Canadian Urological Association (CUA) consensus guideline examining surgical quality performance for radical prostatectomy suggested benchmarks for surgical performance. To date, no study has examined whether Canadian surgeons are achieving these benchmarks.

Impact of LUTS on urine volume in stone formers The impact of lower urinary tract symptomatology on urine volumes in stone formers.

Introduction: We aimed to determine if there is a correlation between International Prostate Symptom scores (IPSS) and 24-hour urine collection volumes, as patients experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) may have impaired ability to increase fluid intake for stone prevention.

Methods: We conducted a single-centre, retrospective review was performed of stone-formers presenting from 2014-2016. Inclusion criteria were completion of an IPSS questionnaire and a 24-hour urine collection.
