Experience with transurethral management of urethral stricture using conventional urethroscope and resectroscope of both infant and adult size is reported and the surgical procedure described. Because incision, dilation, and resection of the stricture are done under direct visual control, it is safe and applicable even in severe strictures hitherto untreatable with other refined closed methods.

Neurogenic bladder (NB) is a group of bladder and/or urethral dysfunctions caused by neurological lesions, commonly seen in patients with lumbar spine diseases, manifesting as urinary storage and voiding dysfunction, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Degenerative changes or trauma to the lumbar spine can lead to narrowing of the dural sac, compressing the sacral nerve roots, cauda equina or blood vessels, causing bladder dysfunction and leading to NB. Diagnostic methods for NB include history taking, physical examination and noninvasive and invasive tests, such as urodynamic testing and cystoscopy.

Background: The T4 rectal cancers indicate beyond total mesorectal excision (TME) plane dissection with en bloc multivisceral resection for achieving R0 resection. Recent studies emphasize the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive surgery in selected T4 rectal cancers. This study demonstrates a stepwise approach for robotic total pelvic exenteration (TPE) with en bloc presacral fascia in T4b rectal cancer, focusing on the internal iliac vessel branches management and presacral fascia resection.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term urethral patency of short bulbar urethral stricture management using visual internal urethrotomy with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in conjunction with dexamethasone injection.
Methods: This retrospective study included 78 male patients with symptomatic short bulbar urethral stricture (diagnosed by ascending urethrography) who were treated by internal urethrotomy after injection of submucosal PRP combined with dexamethasone. Every patient was monitored for urethral stricture recurrence one month after catheter removal and twenty-four months after internal urethrotomy.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, Changhua Christian Hospital, Changhua, Taiwan.
Objective: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common consequence of urogynecologic surgery. In this study, we retrospectively assessed the rate of POUR and identified risk factors for the development of urinary retention after mid-urethral sling placement with and without pelvic reconstructive surgery.
Materials And Methods: Eight hundred and sixty-six women with urodynamic stress incontinence who underwent transobturator (TOT) and single-incision sling (SIS) placement, with or without a concomitant reconstructive procedure, were included in this study.
