Introduction: Urethral and suprapubic catheterizations are the two methods for urinary drainage. Systematic simulation training could improve the performance and reduce iatrogenic complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the skills retention using simulation training.
Materials And Methods: It was an experimental study of the effect of urinary drainage simulation based skills on medical students in order to compare active and passive training methods. On the first session, randomization was proceeded. Then, the participant performed one of the two workshops (urethral or suprapubic catheterization) on a male mannequin. The maximal performance was 40 points on the assessment form. Both workshops were performed on the second (one month) and third sessions (six months).
Results: Eighteen participants were included. Main performance was 28.7/40 (23-34.2) at the first session. All the participants improved the performance on the second session with a significant difference (P<0.01) between passive 32.5 (26-36.5) and active participants 36.1/40 (34.5-39). On the third session, a similar difference was observed between passive and active participants (32.5 versus 30.4, P non significant).
Conclusion: Simulation training seems to improve long-term skill retention of urinary drainage for inexperienced medical students. This preliminary study suggests to incorporate urinary drainage simulation training into all medical school curricula.
Level Of Evidence: 4.

Given the intricacy involved in diagnosing prostatic abscess and the associated risk of severe complications, we present a case involving a 72-year-old male patient initially suspected of urinary retention due to benign prostatic enlargement, only to reveal multiple prostatic abscesses during surgical intervention. The objective is to raise awareness among clinicians regarding the potential presence of latent prostatic abscess and to prevent the occurrence of serious complications. Timely implementation of aggressive antimicrobial therapy and surgical drainage has been shown to significantly enhance patient prognosis and mitigate the risk of serious complications.

Objective: This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted laparoscopic ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RAL-IUU) in treating children with duplex kidney ureteral malformations by detailing our early single-center experience.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 14 children with complete duplex kidney ureteral malformations treated with RAL-IUU at our institution from December 2021 to January 2024. Clinical data included patient demographics, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes.
Antithrombotic therapy for a case report of acute myocardial infarction after laparoscopic radical cystectomy.

Background: Radical cystectomy constitutes the standard therapeutic approach for high-risk urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. Contemporary guidelines advise urologists to discontinue anticoagulation therapy during the perioperative period to mitigate the risk of significant intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage. Nevertheless, in elderly patients with a history of coronary artery disease, the cessation of anticoagulant medication elevates the risk of acute myocardial infarction, thereby posing a substantial threat to their survival.
