Variant genital gender-affirming surgery: a systematic review.

Objective: To review the available literature on variant genital gender-affirming surgery (GGAS), including the reasons for performing it, the surgeries themselves and their outcomes.

Methods: A systematic review on the performance of variant GGAS was conducted (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews [PROSPERO] identifier: CRD42022306684) researching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane databases from inception up to 31 December 2023. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and risk of bias was assessed for each study using the five-criteria quality assessment checklist.

Secondary phallic prosthesis placement in transgender patients postmetoidioplasty: a case report on technique and outcome.

Introduction: Gender affirming surgery is common among transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. Genital gender-affirming surgery is a form of surgery that involves transformation and reconstruction of the genitalia while maintaining urologic and sexual function. Masculinizing genital gender-affirming surgery can involve the removal of the female genital and reproductive organs and the creation of a more masculine appearance by using phalloplasty or metoidioplasty techniques.

Exstrophic bladder duplication in the sagittal plane: Surgical management of a rare case.

Introduction: The bladder-Exstrophy-Epispadias complex (BEEC) contains a wide spectrum of congenital malformations. A treatment naïve refugee was referred to our center with what was identified as BEEC.

Materials And Methods: A 27-year-old female patient was referred for total incontinence since birth by the general practitioner from the refugee center.

The self-assessment of genital anatomy, sexual function, and genital sensation (SAGASF-M) questionnaire in a Belgian Dutch-speaking male population: A validating study.

Introduction: Penile and genital surgery for congenital or acquired conditions is daily practice in reconstructive urology. These procedures, which carry the risk of disrupting nerves and blood vessels, may impair the genital sensation, and affect the capacity for sexual pleasure. Self-reported tools are needed to systematically assess the male genitalia before and after reconstructive surgeries in terms of genital sensation and sexual experience.

Treatment of Meatal Strictures by Dorsal Inlay Oral Mucosa Graft Urethroplasty: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: To report on the use of oral mucosa graft urethroplasty for meatal strictures using the dorsal inlay technique.

Methods: Patients who underwent a single-stage dorsal inlay oral mucosal graft urethroplasty between January 2000 and May 2021 were included in this study. A follow-up of a minimum of 12 months was necessary for inclusion.

Female Urethroplasty: Outcomes of Different Techniques in a Single Center.

Introduction: Female urethral strictures and injuries are relatively uncommon compared to males. A wide range of possible causes and treatment modalities have been described. Lately female urethral reconstruction is gaining attention and is fortunately no longer a neglected topic within the reconstructive urology.

Treatment of Urethral Strictures in Transmasculine Patients.

Background: Urethral strictures are a common complication after genital gender-affirming surgery (GGAS) in transmasculine patients. Studies that specifically focus on the management of urethral strictures are scarce. The aim of this systematic review is to collect all available evidence on the management of urethral strictures in transmasculine patients who underwent urethral lengthening.

The Role of Cytoreductive Radical Prostatectomy in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Low-volume Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Results from the Local Treatment of Metastatic Prostate Cancer (LoMP) Registry.

Background: Radiotherapy to the prostate (RTp) prolongs survival for patients with low-volume, newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer (ndmPC).

Objective: to evaluate whether cytoreductive radical prostatectomy (cRP) is equally beneficial as RTp in low-volume ndmPC.

Design Setting And Participants: A multicenter prospective registry was established in 2014 to observe patients with ndmPC.

Barriers in transitioning urologic patients from pediatric to adult care.

As the advances in medicine continue to emerge, more children with congenital or pediatric-onset chronic urologic conditions are surviving well into adulthood. This imposes an ever rising there is a need for adequate transition of these patients from pediatric to adult care. Despite position statements from multiple heath care organizations and several models proposed in literature, different issues and gaps in urologic transition continue to exist.
