Efficacy of surgical treatment of patients with strictures of the bulbomembraneous portion of the urethra by R. Turner-Warwick in G. Webster modification was studied in 30 patients operated in 2008-2009. Efficacy of the operation was assessed by uroflowmetry and urethrography findings. Follow-up covered 3 to 20 months (median 10 months). Posttraumatic urethral strictures arose after car accident in 89% cases. Mean length of the destruction defect was 2.7 cm (1.5-5.5 cm). Efficacy of surgical treatment reached 96.7%. Erectile dysfunction due to the operation developed in 2 of 23 (8.6%) patients. Thus, urethroplasty by Turner-Warwick in Webster modification is effective and safe in the treatment of posttraumatic strictures of the posterior urethra and can be used widely in specialized centers for urethral surgery.

Department of Pneumology and Critical Care Medicine, Thoraxklinik University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany,
Background: Established structured weaning approaches, which are effective for patients in simple and difficult weaning, are often not appropriate for patients undergoing prolonged weaning. Addressing the complexity of weaning failure requires personalized precision medicine. The therapeutic concept of treatable traits (TTs) has been proposed as a new paradigm for the management of chronic respiratory diseases.

Article Synopsis
- ERCP is a key procedure for treating common bile duct stones and managing strictures, in addition to serving various diagnostic purposes like brush biopsies.
- Despite its effectiveness, ERCP carries risks, including complications such as bleeding, which can result from procedural trauma or delayed-onset complications like pseudoaneurysms.
- The text discusses a specific case where delayed bleeding due to a pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated using interventional radiology-guided embolization after an ERCP.
Injectable Decellularized Extracellular Matrix-Based Bio-Ink with Excellent Biocompatibility for Scarless Urethra Repair.

In recent years, decellularized extracellular matrices (dECM) derived from organs have attracted much attention from researchers due to their excellent biocompatibility, capacity to promote cell proliferation and migration, as well as pro-vascularization. However, their inferior mechanical properties, slow cross-linking, weak strengths, and poor supporting properties remain their inevitable challenges. In our study, we fabricated a novel dECM hydrogel with better crosslinking strength and speed, stronger support properties, and better mechanical properties.

Objective: To report the experience of partial inferior pubicectomy in the treatment of complex posterior urethral stricture after trauma.
Methods: A total of 46 patients with post-traumatic posterior urethral stricture admitted to the Department of Urology of our Hospital from January 2013 to September 2021 were selected as the research objects and underwent urethroplasty (including nine patients who had failed previous perineal repair surgery and adopted partial inferior pubicectomy approach). Retrograde urethrograph (RUG) and urine flow measurement were performed at 1, 3, 12 and 18 months after operation, and follow-up was performed when necessary.
