Objective: To investigate the effect of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in the treatment of urinary retention following seed implantation for prostate cancer.
Methods: We treated 2 cases of urinary retention following seed implantation for prostate cancer by TURP, and analyzed their clinical data.
Results: The operations were successful in both of the cases, with mean operation time of 60 min. Postoperative nocturnal urination of the patients averaged 2 times per night as compared with 5 - 6 times per night preoperatively, and their scores on IPSS and quality of life were significantly improved after surgery.
Conclusion: TURP affords satisfactory results in the treatment of urinary retention following seed implantation for prostate cancer patients.

Lipoblastoma is a rare fatty tumor that can uncommonly arise in the presacral space. When the lesions attain sufficient size, they can cause a multitude of infiltrative and obstructive symptoms. In this report, we present the case of a 1-year-old infant who presented with recurrent urinary retention for 4 months due to a large presacral lipoblastoma, which was successfully resected.

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility and safety of MRI-guided focal laser ablation (FLA) in localized, International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade 1-3, prostate cancer (PCa) using an integrated system.
Methods: Ten consecutive males (mean age: 66±7 years) with low-to-intermediate risk PCa were prospectively included (April 2022-May 2023) and treated with MRI-guided FLA using an integrated system for laser energy control and MR thermometry monitoring. Primary endpoints were technical success, procedure-related adverse events (AEs) following SIR (Society of Interventional Radiology) classification, and 12-months local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS), defined as no evident residual/ recurrent disease on follow-up imaging or histopathology at the treatment site.

Background: Clomipramine, a Tricyclic Antidepressant (TCA), is known for its efficacy in treating Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD). However, it is associated with several side effects, including urinary retention. This case report discusses the case of a 20-year-old male with OCD who developed urinary retention following clomipramine administration.

This case report describes a 70-year-old male presenting with limb weakness, urinary retention and tandem cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis with complicating white cord syndrome, a rare reperfusion injury post decompression surgery. Initially admitted following an unwitnessed fall, the patient's neurological examination indicated that progressive weakness of the limbs and sensory loss etiology is cervical and lumbar spondylosis with severe spinal canal stenosis, confirmed by imaging. Due to rapid deterioration, he underwent C5 corpectomy, cervical decompression and fusion.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of "en-bloc" Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) with trainee involvement in patients with prostates larger than 200 cc.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing HoLEP using the "en-bloc" technique for prostate sizes > 200 cc between July-2017 and December-2023 at an academic teaching hospital. Perioperative data was collected, including patient demographics, clinical parameters, operative details and functional outcomes.
