Background: Anastomotic stenosis is a common complication of colorectal surgery with anastomosis. To explore a minimally invasive novel approach surgical method for the treatment of rectal anastomotic strictures using transurethral prostate resection instrumentation.
Methods: From 2012 to 2022, 18 patients for the treatment of rectal anastomotic strictures using transurethral prostate resection instrumentation. The transurethral prostate resection instrumentation enters the rectum through the anus to incise the narrow anastomotic orifice in a 4-point radial manner under the resectoscope.
Results: The surgery was successfully completed in 18 patients, and there were no postoperative complications. Postoperatively, 12 patients achieved satisfactory improvement in defecation after 1 incision, and 4 patients underwent another incision 3 months later. Two patients underwent incisions thrice, and the ease of defecation improved in a short period; however, they later underwent permanent colostomy due to repeated stenosis and pain.
Conclusion: The transanal 4-point radial incision of the prostate using transurethral prostate resection instrumentation is a minimally invasive, safe, effective, and simple surgical method for the treatment of rectal anastomotic stenosis supplemented by postoperative dilatation, and is worthy of clinical application.

Purpose: To compare outcomes of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) across different regions worldwide over the past two decades.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials indexed to PubMed that assessed TURP. A total of 102 studies with 8,454 patients were included and grouped by continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, and Others (North America, South America, and Australia).

Introduction: microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs and promising cancer biomarkers. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing revolutionized prostate cancer (PCa) diagnostics and monitoring. However, PSA testing also contributes to PCa overdiagnoses that are detrimental on patients' health and may lead to overtreatment.

Focal therapy (FT) is an emerging option for intermediate-risk prostate cancer (IR-PCa). Transperineal MRI fusion laser ablation of PCa (TPFLA) is a novel FT technique with limited data reported. We conducted a phase I clinical trial evaluating the safety, feasibility, and 1-year oncologic results for patients with IR-PCa treated with TPFLA in an office setting.

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is common in males with benign prostate enlargement (BPE) and often presents with different lower urinary tract symptoms. Overactive bladder (OAB) has been reported to be related to BOO, although it can also be idiopathic. The storage symptoms of BOO are often similar to those of OAB.

Methods: Data of females aged between 30 and 70 years old who were diagnosed with dysmenorrhea and underwent hysterectomy/myomectomy or without surgery, and males with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with or without transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database 2000-2016. The effect of age at surgery, surgery type, and anesthesia modality on dementia risk was assessed using Cox regression analyses.
