Transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) is compared to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) by reviewing nonrandomized, matched, and randomized studies. These studies indicate that incision of the prostate and bladder neck relieves outflow urinary obstruction, as does TURP. The incision is relatively easier to learn and perform, and requires shorter operative time compared to TURP. The incidence of retrograde ejaculation is lower after incision than after TURP--16% versus 63%, on average. Transurethral incision of the prostate has a potential for reduced costs due to reduced operative time, shortened hospital stay, and the potential for local anesthesia.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate whether preoperative bladder neck thickness (BNT) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can guide surgical decisions in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) patients with a small volume (≤30 mL).
Materials And Methods: The clinical data of 403 patients were retrospectively collected. The Kappa consistency test was used to compare subjective (IPSS-voiding) and objective (Qmax) postoperative outcomes.
Introduction: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a life-threatening necrotizing infection of the perineal, genital, or perianal regions, often requiring extensive surgical intervention and prolonged recovery. Despite advances in acute management, the long-term impact of FG on patients' self-esteem and quality of life remains underexplored.
Methods: This retrospective study included 48 patients treated for FG at seven urological centres in Austria between 2017 to 2022.
Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects a significant proportion of aging males, often requiring surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail.
Case Description: This case report details the management of a 58-year-old male with severe lower urinary tract symptoms and a markedly enlarged prostate, presenting with bladder stones and persistent obstruction despite medication. The patient underwent an open simple prostatectomy but developed bladder neck contracture and recurrent urinary retention, necessitating a suprapubic cystostomy.

Objectives: To evaluate the surgical and patient-reported outcomes of YV-plasty in patients with refractory bladder neck stenosis (BNS) following transurethral prostate surgery.
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed five patients who underwent YV-plasty for BNS between January 2021 and October 2023. The surgical procedure involved a midline lower abdominal incision to expose the bladder neck.

Background: Androgen deprivation is associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). In different animal models, sulfur dioxide (SO) donors NaSO and NaHSO reduced oxidative stress, fibrosis, and inflammation which contribute to the pathogenesis of androgen deprivation-induced ED, however the effect of SO donors on ED in castrated rats were not known.
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of SO donors, NaSO/NaHSO, on ED in castrated rat model.
