Article Synopsis
  • * Results indicate that while disposable cystoscopes might reduce waste and water usage, the overall environmental benefits of disposables versus reusables are unclear due to varying reprocessing methods.
  • * The review highlights the need for improved strategies, such as better reprocessing of reusable scopes and conducting environmental audits in the healthcare industry, to decrease the carbon footprint of urological procedures.

Background: Photodynamic diagnosis-assisted transurethral resection of bladder tumor (PDD-TURBT) is an important and useful intervention used for removing non-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Several PDD devices can be used in clinical practice, but few reports have compared them.In this study, we examined the differences in detected fluorescence intensity for each PDD device.

Objective: The objective of this study was to report the 12-month oncological outcomes for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) within the prospective, international COVIDSurg Cancer study.

Patients And Methods: Eligible patients were aged ≥18 years and scheduled for elective surgical management of NMIBC with curative intent (transurethral resection of bladder tumour [TURBT] or bladder biopsy) from 21 January to 14 April 2020. The primary outcome was disease recurrence within 12 months of previous elective TURBT/bladder biopsy.

Blue-light cystoscopy with intravesical hexyl-aminolevulinate has been shown to improve identification of bladder carcinoma. The application of photodynamic techniques in the upper tract has not been well studied. We present a patient with a patulous ureteral orifice allowing for dwelling of photodynamic reagent and cystoscopic evaluation of the distal ureter.

Introduction: The introduction of Single-Port (SP) platform opened the field to new surgical options, allowing to perform major urological robot-assisted procedures extraperitoneally and with a supine patient positioning (1-3). Nevertheless, a comprehensive description of different supine access options is still lacking (4-6). In this light, we provided a step-by-step guide of SP extraperitoneal supine access options also exploring preliminary surgical outcomes.
