Transurethral resection (TUR) is regarded as the treatment of choice for relief of outflow tract obstruction in the male, but bladder neck incision (BNI) is an acceptable alternative when the gland is small. Seven hundred cases of TUR/BNI have been reviewed (TUR = 388; BNI = 312). BNI was performed when the gland was less than 35 g and where there was no clinical suspicion of malignancy. The operative details of our single incision technique are given. While the patients in the BNI group were younger, catheter stay was shorter, there was less infection, a significantly reduced need for blood transfusion and a satisfactory outcome in terms of control and need for further surgery. BNI is a technically simpler procedure than TUR and is easy to teach and learn. Results show it is safe and effective for patients in acute retention as well as those treated electively and it is the operation of choice for small benign prostates.

Objective: Given the increasing significance of digital health literacy (DHL) and health literacy (HL) in promoting informed decision-making and healthy behaviors, this study aimed to assess the influence of self-reported HL and DHL on treatment adherence and quality of life among patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TUR-BT) for primary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

Materials & Methods: This single-center observational study involved patients who underwent TUR-BT for NIMBC at a tertiary hospital from May 2022 to February 2024. Before the procedure, the patients' DHL and HL were evaluated using the European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire short version and the eHealth Literacy Scale.

Objective: This systematic review was conducted to synthesize current research on the role of repeated transurethral resection of the bladder (re-TURB) and the emerging use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in discerning patient suitability for safely foregoing this procedure.

Evidence Acquisition: Employing a methodical literature search, we consulted several bibliographic databases including PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Embase. The review process adhered strictly to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines.

Introduction: The US supply disruption of surgical irrigation fluids in September 2024 prompted the need for fluid conservation and potential deferral of urology procedures. We characterized fluid use in common endoscopic procedures to articulate recommendations for irrigation fluid stewardship and case prioritization during fluid shortages.

Methods: We reviewed case volumes and irrigation fluid use for endoscopic urological procedures at our institution during January-September 2024.

Objectives: To evaluate the utility of the HAS-BLED bleeding risk-estimation tool to predict for clinically significant postoperative haematuria in patients receiving transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).

Patients And Methods: A single-centre, retrospective cohort analysis of patients underwent TURP from April 2019 to December 2023 for treatment of symptomatic benign prostate hyperplasia. The primary objective was to evaluate reliability of HAS-BLED score in predicting postoperative bleeding event.

Objectives: To assess the impact of a positive history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) on perioperative outcomes, including length of in-hospital stay, readmission rates, 90-day postoperative complications, and healthcare costs in bladder cancer (BCa) patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) in the United States.

Patients And Methods: Patients aged ≥18 years with a BCa diagnosis undergoing TURBT were identified in the Merative® Marketscan® Research de-identified databases between 2007 and 2021. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted by relevant perioperative confounders was used to investigate the association between diagnosis of VTE before TURBT and 90-day complication rates, new postoperative VTE events, re-hospitalization, and total hospital expenditures (2021 US dollars).
