Robotic radical nephroureterectomy in a patient with situs inversus totalis.

Situs inversus totalis is a rare anatomical variant in which all major organs and blood vessels are mirrored from left to right. We present a case of upper tract urothelial carcinoma in a patient with situs inversus who underwent robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy. We utilized conventional surgical approaches and a successful oncologic outcome was achieved.

Prostatic artery embolization for bladder outlet obstruction in the setting of prior posterior urethroplasty.

This case presents a patient with a remote history of complex posterior urethral repair related to a prior motorcycle accident who presented to the urology clinic in urinary retention with associated lower urinary tract symptoms. Due to his altered anatomy, traditional outlet procedures were deferred due to significant reported risks of post treatment urinary incontinence. Decision was made to proceed with prostatic artery embolization, and at follow up he reported resolution of his urinary retention and significant symptomatic improvement in his voiding without development of urinary incontinence.

Distal Biologic Cap for Impending Distal Erosion.

Introduction: Management for distal impending erosion can be difficult and has been previously managed with counter incisions which can lead to unsightly scars and increased infection risk.

Aim: To demonstrate a novel technique in management of impending erosion.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent placement of a distal biologic cap for impending erosion.

Biomechanical Studies of the Inflatable Penile Prosthesis: A Review.

Introduction: The penile prosthesis remains the primary surgical treatment for refractory erectile dysfunction. Over the decades, inflatable penile prostheses' mechanical reliability, patient satisfaction, safety, and functional erectile restoration have greatly improved. During this time, many studies of biomechanical properties of the prosthesis have been conducted to better understand their biomimicry to the erect human phallus.
