Effect of preoperative finasteride on perioperative blood loss during transurethral resection of the prostate and on microvessel density in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: An open label randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common procedure for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Previous studies on the effect of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors on perioperative blood loss in TURP and microvessel density (MVD) in the prostate are equivocal. We evaluated whether pretreatment with finasteride for 2 weeks before surgery can reduce perioperative blood loss in TURP and MVD in the prostate.

Ileal Ureteral Substitution After "Panureteral Damage: A Devastating Complication of Forgotten Double-J Stent".

Forgotten ureteral stent is frequently observed in urologic practice. It has serious consequences such as encrustation, stone formation, fragmentation, ureteral damage, and sepsis. Panureteral damage by forgotten stent is a major complication requiring complex reconstructive surgery.

Laparoscopic Mainz II Approach for Single System Ectopic Ureter with Bladder Agenesis.

Solitary renal unit with ectopic ureter with bladder agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. Urinary incontinence in such cases is dealt with various continent and noncontinent procedures. We report a case of 20-year-old female patient who presented with continuous leakage of urine.

Prospective audit of complications after ultrasonography-guided percutaneous nephrostomy for upper urinary tract obstruction using modified Clavien classification system.

Introduction: Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is a commonly performed intervention in urology for various benign and malignant conditions causing upper urinary tract obstruction. We present a prospective audit of complications of ultrasonography (USG) guided PCN using modified Clavien classification system (mCCS).

Methods: The data were prospectively collected for 368 PCN performed in 344 patients from June 2015 to January 2017, for various benign and malignant diseases causing upper urinary tract obstruction.

Biphasic renal synovial sarcoma with extensive venous tumor thrombosis: A rare presentation.

Primary renal synovial sarcoma (SS) is a very rare soft-tissue tumor arising from the kidney. These tumors histologically closely resemble other sarcoma variants. Immunohistochemical and cytogenetic techniques remain the cornerstone in achieving the correct diagnosis.
