- Androgen blockade through surgical castration is common for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, and this study compares two techniques: sub-epididymal orchiectomy and total orchiectomy.
- The study involved 60 patients who were randomly assigned to either procedure, measuring outcomes like serum testosterone levels, surgery duration, and patient satisfaction after the surgeries.
- Results showed that both procedures effectively lowered testosterone to castrate levels, but patients who underwent sub-epididymal orchiectomy reported significantly higher satisfaction scores and found it a simpler, safer option suitable for outpatient treatment.

- Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is an effective first-line treatment for upper ureteric stones, achieving a clearance rate of 91.73% over a 10-year study with 846 patients.
- The study found better success with smaller stones (<1 cm) and in patients with symptoms lasting less than 4 weeks, while complications were minimal, affecting only 3% of cases.
- Factors like use of stents and longer symptom durations negatively impacted the success of SWL, highlighting the importance of early treatment for optimal outcomes.*
