Electric Wire in the Urinary Bladder: Surgical Challenges and Comprehensive Literature Insights.
Diagnostics (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Urology, Iului Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400012 Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
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.

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) accounts for approximately 70-75% of all bladder cancer cases. The standard treatment for high-risk NMIBC involves transurethral tumour resection followed by intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy. While BCG immunotherapy is both safe and effective, it frequently leads to the development of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as urinary urgency, frequency, dysuria, and pelvic discomfort.

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.
Initial Experience of Contact Laser Vaporization of the Prostate (CVP) for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia Patients With Hemorrhagic Risk.

Since contact laser vaporization of the prostate (CVP) was approved by the Japanese insurance system in 2016, the use of a 980 nm diode laser system for CVP has become widespread for treating benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients. Our institute has been implementing CVP for BPH since 2018, treating a total of 93 patients, including 28 with a risk of hemorrhage. This study examines the safety and efficacy of CVP treatment for BPH patients with a hemorrhagic risk.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland which surrounds the urethra. For men with BPH who are older than 50, a prostatectomy is a common surgical procedure. Open prostatectomy is still more prevalent in regions with limited access to advanced surgical procedures like transurethral resection of the prostate and robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.
