Introduction And Objectives: Laser vaporization techniques have emerged as a prominent alternative to transurethral prostate resection in managing benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). This study focuses on assessing the effectiveness of the ejaculatory preserving laser vaporization of the prostate technique compared to the conventional non-ejaculatory approach in managing BPO.

Patients And Methods: Our study was performed between August 2022 and September 2023.

Background: Acne treatment can take weeks to deliver noticeable improvements, which may diminish patients' perception of treatment effectiveness and undermine treatment adherence. Combination topical treatments that target multiple acne pathophysiological pathways are more efficacious than topical monotherapies, and simplifying combination treatment by delivering multiple active ingredients as fixed combinations may improve adherence.

Methods: This review provides an overview of efficacy with 4 weeks of treatment in pivotal trials of fixed-combination topical treatments for acne.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies suggest that surgical intervention for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) may not be necessary during bladder stone removal in men, prompting an evaluation of this approach.
  • A study analyzed 63 males who underwent bladder stone removal without simultaneous BPO surgery from 2017 to 2024, tracking outcomes such as future BPO surgery and complications.
  • The findings indicated a high rate of BPO surgery-free survival (90% at 1 year, 78% at 3 and 5 years), with larger prostate volumes and higher post-void residual being significant predictors for needing future BPO surgery, highlighting the importance of careful patient selection.

Purpose: To assess the mid- to long-term safety and effectiveness of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) at a single-center cohort of 1,075 patients.

Materials And Methods: This institutional review board-approved retrospective study included patients with moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or urinary retention who underwent PAE from January 2014 to July 2023. Patients were assessed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after PAE and yearly thereafter.

Background: Over the past decade, the range of surgical options to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) has expanded significantly with the advent of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs). Nevertheless, the available evidence in the field is heterogeneous. Efficacy and safety thresholds are yet to be determined.
