Objective: To analyze the incidence rate of repeat transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) and its probable causes after TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP).
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to summarize the cases who received repeat transurethral resection of prostate after TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia in recent 20 years. The data were compared with the data of the cases who just received once TURP for BPH.
Results: 1225 patients received TURP for BHP from 1981 to 2001. Fifty-seven patients experienced repeat transurethral resection of the prostate after a mean interval of 3 years and 2 months with an incidence rate of 4.65%. 69.8% of which manifested repeat gross hematuria before repeat prostatectomy, with a rate significantly higher than the general gross hematuria rate and the gross hematuria rate at the first admission (P < 0.005 and P < 0.01).
Conclusion: The incidence rate of repeat prostatectomy after TURP for BHP is 4.65%. The mean interval between the two procedures is 3 years and 2 months. Gross hematuria is one of the main causes for repeat TURP besides the low urinary tract symptoms.

BACKGROUND Emphysematous urinary tract infections are rare and serious conditions that are often multifactorial in etiology and may be associated with the presence of renal stones. Diagnosis can be made by finding gas within the renal collecting system or parenchyma. However, the radiographic finding of gas within a renal stone is rare and little has been published to describe the significance of this finding, its promoting factors, and management.

Article Synopsis
- Localized bladder amyloidosis is a rare condition that can be mistaken for a bladder tumor, with only over 200 cases documented.
- A 67-year-old woman experienced painless blood in urine, leading to tests that suggested bladder amyloidosis, including a Congo red staining potentially indicating the presence of amyloid.
- The excised tissue from her procedure showed unexpected pink-staining patterns but did not confirm amyloidosis through Congo red staining, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation for diagnosis despite negative results.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, contributing factors, and clinical outcomes of acquired cystic kidney disease (ACKD) in children undergoing kidney replacement therapy (KRT).
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, territory-wide study at the designated pediatric nephrology center in Hong Kong. ACKD was defined as the presence of ≥ 3 cysts in the native kidneys, excluding congenital or hereditary cystic diseases.
Introduction: Renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare yet serious complication following percutaneous nephrolithotomy, especially in patients with solitary kidneys. Effective management is crucial to prevent further renal damage.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 41-year-old male with a solitary kidney who experienced gross hematuria and renal insufficiency 3 months after percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
Introduction: Prostate cancer is incidentally diagnosed in 6%-11% of benign prostatic hyperplasia surgeries.
Case Presentation: A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The prostate volume was 54.
