Objective: We present a rare localization for a foreing body in the urinary system, and review the bibliography to know about it existence, frequency and localization.
Methods: We present the case of a 49 year old woman who referreds she had introduced a metallic objet in her genital area.
Results: After the necessary tests, we could see a metallic cylinder. It was 8 cm long and was localized inside the right pelvic ureter.
Conclusions: The presence of strange bodies in the urinary system is a rare urological emergency. Treatment is the key element of the extraction of the least bloody way possible.

The detection of endogenous anabolic androgenic steroids (EAAS) is performed with the Steroidal Module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP). Glucocorticoids (GC) could be a confounding factor to the ABP Steroidal Module because they inhibit the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and ABP metabolites have partial adrenal origin. In previous studies, single-dose systemic GC administrations have been shown to reduce the urinary ratios A/T and 5αdiol/E.

Focal therapy (FT) is an emerging option for intermediate-risk prostate cancer (IR-PCa). Transperineal MRI fusion laser ablation of PCa (TPFLA) is a novel FT technique with limited data reported. We conducted a phase I clinical trial evaluating the safety, feasibility, and 1-year oncologic results for patients with IR-PCa treated with TPFLA in an office setting.

The KangDuo Surgical Robot-1500 (KD-SR-1500) is a newly developed surgical robot. We aim to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the KD-SR-1500 system for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). This prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical study was conducted among 18-75-year-old patients with suspected T1-2N0M0 prostate cancer scheduled for RARP.
