Urology continues its development in minimally invasive surgery, and the year 2023 is marked by important innovations in the different approaches such as endoscopy, laparoscopy, and open surgery. The following innovations are instruments or medical devices which are still being evaluated.

Background: Rare diseases (RDs) affect nearly 3 million people in France and at least 26-30 million people in Europe. These diseases, which represent a major medical concern, are mainly of genetic origin, often chronic, progressive, degenerative, life threatening and disabling, accounting for more than one third of all deaths occurring during infancy. In this context, there are needs for coordinated information on RDs at national/international levels, based on high quality, interoperable and sharable data.

Introduction: Sate of the art on the indications, methods of implementation and medico-economic considerations of reusable flexible ureteroscopes (URSr) vs single use (URSuu)?
Method: Review of the literature (Pubmed) on reusable and single-use ureteroscopes, as well as on the expertise of our center. A PubMed search and narrative review of the data was performed in July 2021. Only articles in French or English were selected.
Aim: to evaluate the medico-economic significance of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) in the Russian Federation, to calculate the economic burden of NLUTD in patients with targeted entities and to prepare suggestions for improving the methods of payment for the provision of medical care to patients with NLUTD in inpatient practice.
Materials And Methods: an analysis of the literature and an expert assessment of the prevalence of NLUTD in the Russian Federation were performed. Due to the various etiology of NLUTD, the following entities were considered: craniocerebral trauma, acute stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury (hereinafter referred to as targeted entities), characterized by the highest rate of NLUTD and high social significance (damage to the working-age population): traumatic brain injury, acute stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury.

Background And Aims: Optimal nutritional therapy, including the individually adapted provision of energy, is associated with better clinical outcomes. Indirect calorimetry is the best tool to measure and monitor energy expenditure and hence optimize the energy prescription. Similarly to other medical techniques, indications and contra-indications must be acknowledged to optimise the use of indirect calorimetry in clinical routine.
