Ninety-two women with urogenital fistulas of obstetric-gynecological origin have been treated at the Department of Urology of the Medical Academy in Sofia for the period Jan. 1974-July 1988. The causes of the fistulas in 17 patients (18.5 per cent) were of obstetric origin and in 75 (81.5 per cent) of gynecological origin. Analysis of the causes revealed that the incidence of obstetric fistulas was higher than in other developed countries. Higher was also the incidence of radiogenic urogenital fistulas. Gynecological fistulas following operations of benign genital diseases were more common than those developing after total hysterectomies and Wertheim's operations for malignant tumors of the internal genitals. This is in contradiction to reports by other authors. It is suggested that urologist be included in the surgeons' staff in risk hysterectomies (in cervical myomatosis).

Combination of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) results in extremely high morbidity and mortality. The current guideline-directed medical therapy is rarely effective and new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. The study was designed to examine if renal denervation (RDN) will exhibit long-standing beneficial effects on the HF- and CKD-related morbidity and mortality.

Article Synopsis
- The study details a modified transvaginal repair technique (V-NOTES) for treating apical vesicovaginal fistulas (VVFs) in 26 patients, with 17 undergoing the V-NOTES procedure between January 2020 and January 2023.
- Outcomes showed an 88.2% success rate, with an average operative time of 104.2 minutes and minimal blood loss (10.45 ml).
- No major complications arose, and even initially failed repairs were successful on subsequent attempts, indicating that V-NOTES is an effective and safe treatment option for apical VVFs.

Background MRI-guided focal laser ablation (FLA) is a promising treatment in localized prostate cancer (PCa). MRI-guided micro-US FLA shows potential for outpatient use, but its clinical application remains unexplored. Purpose To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and 12-month functional and oncologic outcomes of MRI-guided micro-US transperineal FLA in localized PCa and to assess the accuracy of micro-US in showing lesions depicted at MRI with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score of 3 or higher.
