Defining the "Cutoff" on the Urethral Caliber in Diagnosing a Female Urethral Stricture.

Introduction The rarity in detecting female urethral stricture (FUS) backed by the inconsistency regarding the cutoff on the caliber to direct any treatment for its increase poses a challenge to its existence. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the caliber of the urethra that clearly identifies a FUS. Materials and method In this prospective observational study conducted between November 2015 and July 2017, women with obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and a history of relief on at least a single urethral dilatation were included if the American Urological Association (AUA) score was more than seven and the maximum flow rate (Qmax) was less than 20 mL/sec.

Evaluating outcomes of combined bladder neck and supramontanal sparing ejaculatory preserving transurethral resection of the prostate: Results from a prospective, randomised study.

Introduction: Although conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is highly successful in improving urinary symptoms and flow rates, a higher incidence of loss of antegrade ejaculation has been reported. Therefore, we aimed at prospectively comparing the efficacy and outcomes of a novel dual bladder neck and supramontanal sparing TURP to conventional TURP to improve voiding and ejaculation.

Material And Methods: Between January 2019 and November 2020, all patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) satisfying the eligibility criteria underwent either conventional TURP (Group 1) or combined bladder neck and supramontanal sparing TURP (Group 2) after randomisation.

A prospective study comparing side-firing KTP laser enucleation vs bipolar transurethral resection of bladder tumor for small bladder tumors in an outpatient setting.

Introduction: Laser therapy provides an alternative option for treating non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The clinical evidence for potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser en bloc resection is still limited. Here, we evaluated the efficacy, safety profile, and outcomes of side-firing KTP laser enucleation with bipolar transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) in carefully selected patients with small bladder tumors in an office setting.

Stepwise approach in the management of penile strangulation and penile preservation: 15-year experience in a tertiary care hospital.

: To present our stepwise approach to the management of penile strangulation and penile preservation with 15 years' experience in a tertiary care hospital, as penile strangulation is a rare urological emergency that requires immediate attention. : A prospective observational study was performed from March 2003 to December 2018 of patients presenting with penile strangulation to our hospital. : Nine patients with penile strangulation presented to us between March 2003 and December 2018.

Dorsal onlay graft urethroplasty for female urethral stricture improves sexual function: Short-term results of a prospective study using vaginal graft.

Introduction: Both dorsal and ventral approaches are acceptable options for the surgical reconstruction of female urethral strictures (FUS), but damage to the sphincter and the clitoral nerves resulting in sexual dysfunction is the chief argument against the dorsal approach. Most of the reported case series are retrospective and none has evaluated sexual functions. This study prospectively evaluates the early sexual and functional results after dorsal onlay vaginal graft urethroplasty (DVGU) for FUS.
