Introduction: Trans-urethral bladder surgery has gained popularity in the fields of electro-resection and laser lithotripsy, with endoscopic suturing being overlooked. Bladder defect closure using a pure trans-urethral suturing technique can provide a quick and effective solution in situations where conventional management options are not feasible.
Methods: Here we describe this innovative novel technique developed by our group that was used to treat two different cases with bladder perforation at two different institutions. We used a 5 mm laparoscopic port with gas insufflation and a laparoscopic needle holder trans-urethrally to achieve defect closure with a monofilament 2/0 monocryl mattress suture on a small 22 mm needle.
Results: The defects were successfully closed without any intraoperative complications. Average operative time for the technique was 18 min with minimal blood loss. Bladder closure was sustained at a median follow-up of 2 years for one of these cases.
Conclusions: We claim that transurethral bladder suturing is quick, safe in expert hands and provides an effective option where the clinical condition/situation of the patient warrants a minimally invasive surgery approach.

Lag times for the diagnosis and treatment of urinary bladder cancer are generally longer which reduces the chances of achieving cures. This study was carried out at the Urology Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka and a Urology Center in a private hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2007 to June 2008 on patients of newly diagnosed muscle invasive bladder carcinoma. This study was intended to assess the delay encountered by the patients and its consequences in the process of diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.

Introduction: High grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HG-NMIBC) exposes to a high risk of recurrence and progression. Standard of care includes repeated trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (reTURBT) and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. Not following Standard of care (SOC) may be associated with a worse prognosis.

Article Synopsis
- - Polypoid cystitis is a rare, benign bladder condition that can mimic urothelial carcinoma both clinically and through imaging, making accurate diagnosis reliant on histological analysis.
- - A case is reported involving a young Indian woman who experienced urinary symptoms and underwent a procedure that revealed she had polypoid cystitis instead of cancer.
- - The text emphasizes the importance of considering polypoid cystitis in young patients with certain urinary issues, especially those with a history of catheter use, encouraging thorough histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose: To predict oncological outcomes and select appropriate treatments for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), pre-treatment predictors such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are being used. This study aims to evaluate whether NLR is an independent predictor of disease and disease recurrence in NMIBC patients.
Methods: In this prospective clinical study, from March 2018 to March 2023, preoperative NLR values were monitored in 99 patients newly diagnosed with NMIBC, who were initially treated with trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and adjuvant intravesical therapy.
Therapeutic efficacy and short-term durability of trans-urethral amniotic bladder injections for the treatment of refractory COVID-associated cystitis.

Introduction: COVID-19-associated cystitis (CAC) may arise following a COVID-19 infection and is characterized by the development of novel or worsening overactive bladder (OAB). CAC is possibly associated with bladder mucosal damage and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, resulting in inflammation and fibrosis of the bladder wall. Amniotic membrane (AM) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties and might potentially be beneficial for CAC.
