Purpose: As Bladder EpiCheck (BE) is a promising urinary biomarker for diagnosis and follow up of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), there are no studies evaluated this tool for second transurethral resection (TUR) indication. We aim to evaluate the performance of BE in predicting residual tumor before second TUR in NMIBC and its effects on clinical decision making.
Methods: A total of 50 patients who were diagnosed with NMIBC and indicated for a second TUR were included in the study prospectively.

Introduction: We investigated the subsequent trends in age and antithrombotic therapy in patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and examined the rate of perioperative complications.
Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent TURBT were retrospectively analyzed. We arbitrarily divided the observation years into three periods (I: 2007-2013, II: 2014-2018, and III: 2019-2023) to compare the trends in age and frequency of perioperative complications after TURBT between patients taking and those not taking antithrombotic drugs.

Background: Most patients initially diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) still have frequent recurrence after urethral bladder tumor electrodesiccation supplemented with intravesical instillation therapy, and their risk of recurrence is difficult to predict. Risk prediction models used to predict postoperative recurrence in patients with NMIBC have limitations, such as a limited number of included cases and a lack of validation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new models to compensate for the shortcomings and potentially provide evidence for predicting postoperative recurrence in NMIBC patients.

Background: We compared the safety and efficacy of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in elderly men (aged ≥75 years) with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 151 patients (HoLEP: 72; TURP: 79) was conducted. Preoperative and postoperative parameters, including prostate size, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), catheterization duration, hospital stay, and perioperative complications (incontinence and dysuria), were analyzed.

To improve the understanding and treatment level of urogenital nerve fibroma by sharing the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and pathological characteristics of a case of urogenital nerve fibroma.The patient was a middle-aged male with initial symptoms of painless gross hematuria, bladder irritation, and pelvic mass. Imaging examination showed a bladder mass, and transurethral bladder tumor resection was performed to reduce the tumor.
