Article Synopsis
- * Results indicate that while disposable cystoscopes might reduce waste and water usage, the overall environmental benefits of disposables versus reusables are unclear due to varying reprocessing methods.
- * The review highlights the need for improved strategies, such as better reprocessing of reusable scopes and conducting environmental audits in the healthcare industry, to decrease the carbon footprint of urological procedures.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if the initial tumor burden detected at biopsy could indicate the presence of adverse features after radical prostatectomy in patients with ISUP 1 prostate cancer.
- Conducted across six centers, the research involved analyzing biopsy results where a high tumor burden was defined as having 20% or more positive cores.
- Results showed no significant correlation between tumor burden at biopsy and the occurrence of adverse features at radical prostatectomy, suggesting this measurement should not be used to exclude patients from active surveillance.
Purpose: To assess prognostic significance of residual tumor at repeat transurethral resection (reTUR) in contemporary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients.
Methods: Patients were identified retrospectively from eight referral centers in France, Italy and Spain. The cohort included consecutive patients with high or very-high risk NMIBC who underwent reTUR and subsequent adjuvant BCG therapy.
Background And Objective: Thulium fiber laser (TFL) emerged as a competitor of holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser for anatomic enucleation of the prostate (AEEP) in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). The aim was to compare the surgical outcomes of Ho:YAG and TFL for AEEP.
Methods: A literature search was conducted to identify reports published from inception until January 2024.
Introduction: To report ejaculatory and urinary results in patients who underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) with selective laser enucleation of the median lobe (MLHoLEP).
Methods: Patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) who underwent MLHoLEP to preserve ejaculatory function in a single center were retrospectively identified. Urinary function was assessed using International Prostate Score Symptom (IPSS), IPSS-Quality of Life index (IPSS-QoL), peak urinary flow (Qmax) and postvoid residual (PVR).
Objectives: To evaluate functional and oncological outcomes of salvage high-intensity focal ultrasound (S-HIFU) after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) failure in prostate cancer (PCa) patients.
Methods: This single-center study included patients who underwent S-HIFU for local recurrence after EBRT between 2006 and 2023. Cancer-specific survival, metastasis-free survival and progression-free survival were illustrated using Kaplan-Meier curves.
Context: It is unclear whether a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted transperineal (TP) biopsy can improve the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).
Objective: To compare the MRI-targeted TP and transrectal (TR) approaches for csPCa detection.
Evidence Acquisition: A literature search was conducted using the PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify reports published until February 2023.
The onset of sudden and intense scrotal pain exposes to several problems when it occurs in a young man in Africa. Among the possible etiologies, testicular torsion is the surgical emergency to rule out, because beyond 6 hours of evolution the functional prognosis of the testicle is concerned. The septic evolution towards a purulent melting, in case of exceeded torsion, is also possible.

The aim of this study was to summarize the current knowledge concerning the indication, anatomical template, prognostic, and therapeutic roles of lymph node dissection (LND) performed at the time of RNU. Quality control markers, such as the number of lymph nodes (LN) removed, lymph node density, and safety of the different surgical approaches, were assessed.
