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.

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.

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.

The "peritoneal scaffold" technique of extended pelvic lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy: A novel technique.

Introduction: Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) is a frequently used approach for localized carcinoma prostate. For intermediate and high-risk cancers, extended pelvic lymph node dissection (e-PLND), is often performed. Conventional e-PLND involves piecemeal retrieval of lymphatic tissue.

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.

Bio-catalysis of mango industrial waste by newly isolated Fusarium sp. (PSTF1) for pectinase production.

The dried mango fruit processing industrial waste (MIW) used as carbon source for the production of pectinase from fungal strains. Eight fungal strains were isolated from MIW and screened for their ability to produce pectinase by pectin clear zone (PCZ) technique. Fusarium sp.
