Despite the emergence of different devices in the treatment of postprostatectomy urinary incontinence, the AMS 800 (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN) remains the gold standard for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in men. We reviewed the current literature regarding the indications, surgical principles, outcomes, and complications of artificial urinary sphincter placement for stress urinary incontinence after prostatectomy. Despite all the available information, heterogeneous data, different success definitions, and the lack of high-quality prospective studies with long-term follow-up, it is difficult to compare outcomes between studies. In spite of these, the perineal implantation of a single cuff artificial urinary sphincter has withstood the test of time.

Metastatic lateral pelvic lymph node (LPN) in rectal cancer has a significant clinical impact on the prognosis and treatment strategies. But there are still debates regarding prediction of lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and its oncological impact. This review explores the evidence for predicting lateral pelvic lymph node metastasis and survival in locally advanced rectal cancer.

Importance: Patients with urgency urinary incontinence are often recommended to avoid bladder irritants, but there is a lack of evidence for this.
Objective: The aim of the study was to compare consumption of purported bladder irritants between women with and without urgency urinary incontinence.
Study Design: We performed a case-control study of nonpregnant females aged ≥20 years using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007-2020.

Background: Ureteral stents, such as double-J stents, have become indispensable in urologic procedures but are associated with complications like hematuria and pain. While the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has led to its increasing application in the health sector, AI has not been used to provide information on potential complications and to facilitate subsequent measures in the event of such complications.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an AI-based prediction tool in providing patients with information about potential complications from ureteroscopy and ureteric stent placement and indicating the need for early additional therapy.

The bladder is a dynamic organ located in the lower urinary tract, responsible for complex and important physiological activities in the human body, including collecting and storing urine. Severe diseases or bladder injuries often lead to tissue destruction and loss of normal function, requiring surgical intervention and reconstruction. The rapid development of innovative biomaterials has brought revolutionary opportunities for modern urology to overcome the limitations of tissue transplantation.
