Department of Urology, University of Virginia, UVA Medical Center, 500 Ray C. Hunt Drive, Charlottesville, VA, USA.
Purpose: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a well-known adverse outcome following robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Although postoperative SUI has been extensively studied, little focus has been placed on understanding the natural history and impact of urgency symptoms following RALP. The UVA prostatectomy functional outcomes program (PFOP) was developed to comprehensively assess and optimize continence outcomes following RALP.

Department of Urology, UVA Medical Center, University of Virginia, Fontaine Research Park, 500 Ray C. Hunt Drive, 1215 Lee Street, Charlottesville, VA, 22908, USA.
Purpose: The majority of newly diagnosed renal tumors are masses < 4 cm in size with treatment options, including active surveillance, partial nephrectomy, and ablative therapies. The cost-effectiveness literature on the management of small renal masses (SRMs) does not account for recent advances in technology and improvements in technical expertise. We aim to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis for percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) and robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RA-PN) for the treatment of SRMs.

Article Synopsis
- Ureteroenteric strictures occur frequently (up to 20%) after urinary diversion, particularly in patients with a history of radiotherapy for cancer, prompting an investigation into their occurrence rates between radiated and non-radiated patients.
- A study involving 215 patients revealed that those who had prior radiation experienced a significantly higher rate of benign strictures (23%) compared to those without radiation (5.3%).
- The findings suggest that radiation may damage the ureteral blood supply, leading to stricter formation, and highlight the need for further research to improve surgical techniques and management options.

Surgical Admissions Suite, UVA Medical Center, VA, USA.
The placement of an intravenous (IV) catheter for the administration of fluids, blood products, and medications is a common intervention for surgical procedures and perianesthesia patients. Although the placement of a peripheral IV may be routine for perianesthesia nurses, it is important to address the patient's level of pain related to the procedure. One technique to diminish the discomfort associated with the IV insertion is anesthetizing the site.

Background: Erectile dysfunction is a disease affecting millions of men over the age of 40. Alprostadil, a synthetic form of prostaglandin E(1), was introduced almost three decades ago, and is today considered an alternative treatment for erectile dysfunction.
Objective: The purpose of this article is to educate the reader on the mechanism of action of alprostadil and outline its indications, side effects, and compare it with other pharmacologic therapies for erectile dysfunction.

Department of Neurosurgery, University of Virginia, UVA Medical Center, PO Box 800212, Charlottesville, VA 22908, USA.
The transsphenoidal route remains the dominant surgical approach to the management of pituitary adenomas. These tumors may present clinically with signs or symptoms related to hypersecretion, hypopituitarism, or mass effect; or they may be identified incidentally during neuroimaging for management of other disorders. Diagnostic and treatment strategies for pituitary adenomas are reviewed.
