Article Abstract
Extensive prostatic calculi in a young man should always elicit the suspicion of alkaptonuria. Although prostatic calculi are seen in chronic prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome and benign prostate hyperplasia, none of these have prostatic calculi or calcification as extensive as in alkaptonuria. A 36 years young man who had severed obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms with extensive prostatic calculi was found to be alkaptonuric on further evaluation.

Background: Prostate cancer remains the most frequent cancer among men, representing a significant health burden. Despite its high morbidity and mortality rates, the etiology of prostate cancer remains relatively unknown, with only non-modifiable established risk factors. Chronic inflammation has emerged as a potential factor in prostate carcinogenesis.

Objectives: The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the utilization of Raman spectroscopy in urinary system diseases, highlighting its potential in non-invasive diagnostic methodologies for early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of urinary ailments.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using 'raman,' 'bladder,' 'kidney,' 'prostate,' 'cancer,' 'infection,' 'stone or urinary calculi,' and 'urine or urinary,' along with 'AND' and 'OR' to refine our search. We excluded irrelevant articles and screened potential ones based on titles and abstracts before assessing the full texts for relevance and quality.
Purpose Of Review: Bladder stones account for 5% of all urinary tract calculi. Contributing factors include bladder outflow obstruction, infections, foreign bodies, or neurogenic voiding dysfunction. This necessitates an effective treatment modality, and with advances in medical technology, minimally invasive techniques using lasers are being widely adopted.

Chronic bacterial prostatitis is generally difficult to treat. It may involve multiple courses of antibiotics and may be difficult to eradicate with high rates of recurrence. We present the case of a 33-year-old male patient with a previous history of renal tract calculi, stent insertions, and perinephric abscess with percutaneous drainage, which then led to a right nephrectomy.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines bladder stone treatment trends in Germany from 2006 to 2020, focusing on data from a national hospital billing database.
- The number of therapeutic interventions for lower urinary tract stones rose significantly, with transurethral cystolithotripsy (TUCL) becoming the most commonly performed procedure.
- While TUCL's popularity increased, the overall use of open cystolithotomy and the combination of TUCL with prostate resection saw a decrease, indicating shifts in treatment practices.
