Diagnostic accuracy of urinary cytokeratin fragment-19 (CYFRA21-1) for bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer (BC) is known for its high recurrence rate and requires constant patient monitoring. To confirm the diagnosis, a tissue sample from a cystoscopy is required, which the patient often avoids. Urine has the potential to be utilized as a diagnostic fluid because of its non-invasive nature and various biomarker contents.

Primary bladder neck obstruction in females: Case series from the Indonesian population.

Introduction: Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) is a rare but significant cause of BOO and LUTS in females, with unclear etiology involving theories of fibrotic narrowing, tissue hyperplasia, or muscle abnormalities. Due to nonspecific symptoms, PBNO diagnosis remains challenging, and optimal surgical treatment needs to be better defined.

Case Presentation: We report two cases of females in their 50s with recurrent urinary retention managed by indwelling catheters.

Giant paratesticular spindle cell lipoma: A rare case report.

Introduction: Spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a rare condition primarily occurring in subcutaneous tissue. Only 4 cases of paratesticular SCL have been reported.

Case Presentation: A 51-year-old man presented with a painless mass in his left testicle that has grown for nine years.

Efficacy and safety of malleable penile prosthesis compared to inflatable penile prosthesis in erectile dysfunction patients.

Introduction: Erectile dysfunction can cause self-withdrawal and decreased quality of life. Patients who do not respond to pharmacological therapy and other conservative treatments are urged to undergo penile prosthesis implantation. Malleable penile prosthesis was the first prosthesis developed, but then inflatable penile prosthesis was developed to give a more natural erection.

Multiple lower urinary tract calculi induced by foreign bodies insertion: A case report.

Lower urinary tract foreign bodies are often reported but the underlying causes remain intriguing, ranging from unconventional practices to medical interventions. This condition predominantly affects young males and presentations are varied from asymptomatic, lower urinary tract symptoms to acute obstructive renal failure. We report a case of a 48-year-old male presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and obstructive renal failure.

Translation validity and reliability of the Indonesian version of the 5-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5).

Objective: This study aimed to translate the IIEF-5 questionnaire into Indonesian and perform a validity and reliability assessment of the translated instrument.

Material And Methods: A methodological study on 106 male outpatients, recruited consecutively, was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Surabaya, East Java from January to March 2020. This study was conducted in two stages: translation and validation.

Local anesthetics versus systemic analgesics for reducing pain during Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is one of the treatment options for patients with renal and ureteral calculi. Even though the procedure is less invasive compared to others, pain caused by the procedure is a major concern. Several studies recommended the use of either local or systemic analgesia with varying results.
