Objective: Several guidelines recommended that second transurethral resection should be performed in patients with diagnosis of high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. However, therapeutic benefits of second transurethral resection before bacillus Calmette-Guérin intravesical instillation were conflicting amongst previous studies. We investigated the prognostic impact of second transurethral resection before bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation in high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients.
Methods: This retrospective study included 3104 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients who received bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillations between 2000 and 2019 at 31 collaborative institutions. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the risk factors of intravesical recurrence, disease progression, cancer-specific mortality and overall mortality.
Results: In the entire population, patients undergoing second transurethral resection (33%, 1026/3104) had a lower risk of intravesical recurrence on univariate analysis (hazard ratio 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.73-0.98, P = 0.027), although it did not remain significant on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0.76-1.07, P = 0.24). Subgroup analysis revealed that, in pT1 patients (n = 1487), second transurethral resection was significantly correlated with a lower risk of intravesical recurrence on multivariate analysis (hazard ratio 0.80, 95% confidence interval 0.64-1.00, P = 0.048), but lower risks of disease progression (hazard ratio 0.75, 95% confidence interval 0.56-1.00, P = 0.049), cancer-specific mortality (hazard ratio 0.54, 95% confidence interval 0.35-0.85, P = 0.007) and overall mortality (hazard ratio 0.73, 95% confidence interval 0.55-0.97, P = 0.027) on univariate analysis.
Conclusions: Second transurethral resection confers accurate pathological staging and could be used to safely select good candidates for intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation. We further confirm that second transurethral resection could confer an oncological benefit in pT1 bladder cancer patients treated by bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation, and so strongly recommend second transurethral resection in this patient population.

"Laser vaporization of the prostate: A comparative study between ejaculatory preserving and non-ejaculatory preserving technique".
Arab J Urol

Faculty of Medicine, Urology Department, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Introduction And Objectives: Laser vaporization techniques have emerged as a prominent alternative to transurethral prostate resection in managing benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). This study focuses on assessing the effectiveness of the ejaculatory preserving laser vaporization of the prostate technique compared to the conventional non-ejaculatory approach in managing BPO.
Patients And Methods: Our study was performed between August 2022 and September 2023.
Electric Wire in the Urinary Bladder: Surgical Challenges and Comprehensive Literature Insights.

Background/objectives: An electric wire inserted into the bladder or urethra presents a specific challenge that is frequently encountered in such cases: the potential formation of a tight knot, making extraction nearly impossible. The primary objective of this study was to share our personal experience with patients who had intravesical electric cable insertions and to provide an extensive literature review, offering detailed insights into the various strategies reported for managing such foreign body cases.
Methods: Of the four cases with a foreign body in the lower urinary tract, two involved patients aged 19 and 53, respectively, who had inserted an electric cable.

Introduction: Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) is a rare but significant cause of BOO and LUTS in females, with unclear etiology involving theories of fibrotic narrowing, tissue hyperplasia, or muscle abnormalities. Due to nonspecific symptoms, PBNO diagnosis remains challenging, and optimal surgical treatment needs to be better defined.
Case Presentation: We report two cases of females in their 50s with recurrent urinary retention managed by indwelling catheters.
Introduction: Laser ablation using a 980-nm wavelength diode laser, which is a new-generation laser, for recurrent bladder cancer is known to have a lower incidence of complications and recurrence than conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor surgery. This is the first study to report the use of 980-nm diode laser ablation for recurrent non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer in Japan.
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old man underwent transurethral laser ablation for the treatment of recurrent non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Background: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) is a rare benign tumor that can develop at any site of the urinary system, with the bladder being the most common, followed by the urethra, ureters, renal pelvises, etc. Currently, it is unclear what the pathogenesis of NA is. This study discussed a rare case of malignant transformation from NA to mesonephric adenocarcinoma of the bladder.
