Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold-standard treatment for large and complex renal stones. Though associated with higher stone-free rates compared to other minimally invasive stone procedures, this comes at the expense of increased morbidity including postoperative pain and discomfort. We describe our enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for PCNL with emphasis on the use of erector spinae plane blocks to improve patient satisfaction and reduce postoperative opioid use and bother.

For more than four decades, platinum-based chemotherapy regimens have served as the established standard-of-care for advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC). However, advancements in our understanding of cancer biology and tumor microenvironment have reshaped the therapeutic landscape and prognosis of this incurable disease. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) that target programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) are firmly established tools in aUC management, leading to enhanced life span and improved quality of life for patients...

Calyceal diverticulum (CD) is a rare anatomic anomaly with an incidence of 0.2% to 0.6% in the patients undergoing renal imaging. They are considered benign lesions and malignancy is exceedingly rare. For diagnosis it is suggested to perform a multiphasic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) evidencing a diverticulum of the pelvicalyceal system with thin-walled cavities communicating with the central collecting system. However, they can be usually mistaken as kidney cancers leading to unjustified nephrectomy...

INTRODUCTION: Difficult and traumatic urethral catheterization is a common reason for urologic consult. Catheter insertion and management is common for patients who are managed in the hospital setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A four-question survey was distributed across three hospitals at a single-institution. RESULTS: A total of 41 nursing staff responses were recorded. Forty-four percent of the nursing staff reported prior participation in a traumatic catheter insertion...

INTRODUCTION: Prostatic urethral lifts (PUL) provide improvement in urinary symptoms for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The aim of this study is to determine operative factors associated with improvement in urinary symptoms after PUL in men with bothersome BPH. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Men with BPH undergoing PUL at a single, tertiary center were identified from 2019 to 2022. Inclusion criteria included documented prostate volume as well as preoperative and postoperative cystoscopic images of the prostatic urethra...

INTRODUCTION: To evaluate patient preference for sperm disposition in case of death based on demographic factors and infertility etiology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was performed at a university hospital-affiliated fertility center. Charts of 550 men undergoing cryopreservation for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) between 2016-2019 were reviewed to create a descriptive dataset. Patients previously signed consent forms stating their preference for sperm transfer to their partner or disposal in the event of their subsequent death...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic radiation cystitis (CRC) can develop between 6 months and 20 years after radiation therapy that presents with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, bladder pain, and nocturia. Amniotic membrane (AM) is known to contain pro-regenerative properties and could thereby be a potential therapeutic modality for radiation-induced tissue injury of the bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CRC patients recalcitrant to previous treatments received amniotic bladder therapy (ABT) comprised of intra-detrusor injections of 100 mg micronized AM (Clarix Flo) diluted in 10 mL 0...

INTRODUCTION: There is an ongoing debate as to the appropriate regimen of antibiotic prophylaxis with transperineal (TP) biopsy. The objective of this study was to report the rate of infection following TP biopsy at a high-volume institution and assess the impact of single dose antibiotics at the time of biopsy versus outpatient antibiotics in preventing postprocedural infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Records of men undergoing TP prostate biopsy from 2012 to 2022 were reviewed...

INTRODUCTION: Artificial generative intelligence (AGI) and large language models (LLMs) have gained significant attention in healthcare and hold enormous promise for transforming every aspect of our life and urology is no exception. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive literature search of electronic databases and included articles discussing AGI and LLMs in healthcare. Additionally, we have incorporated our experiences interacting with the ChatGPT and GPT-4 in different situations with real case reports and case constructs...

In North America, ureteroscopy has become the most popular treatment modality for upper urinary tract urinary calculi. Herein we describe our technique for the treatment of renal stones with flexible ureteroscopy and high-power holmium laser lithotripsy. We discuss preoperative planning, intraoperative strategies, and laser settings for a high-frequency dusting technique with the goal to provide optimal patient outcomes.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common and progressive disease affecting aging men which has a significant impact on quality of life. The Optilume BPH Catheter System (Optilume BPH) is a prostatic dilation system that combines balloon dilation with a localized transfer of paclitaxel to maintain long term patency. Optilume BPH can be deployed using standard rigid cystoscopy without general anesthesia in an office setting. Prospective data indicate that Optilume BPH has favorable functional and sexual patient outcomes...

Monkeypox virus (MPV) is a rare zoonotic infection caused by an orthopoxvirus. The sudden outbreak of more than 3000 MPV infection from 50 countries has led the WHO to declare the infection as an "evolving threat of moderate public health concern". Here, we describe a case series of two cases of the MPV with a similar onset of cutaneous lesions in the genital area but with different progression in 35 and 41-year-old males respectively. Both of our patients were reported heterosexual with a 10-day prior history of unprotected sexual activity with a sex worker...

Erin Howells, Lucas Wigston, Gavin Mackie, Ben Tran, Louise Nott
Fumarate hydratase deficient (FHdef) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare, highly aggressive and is believed to arise mostly in the setting of hereditary leiomyomatosis RCC (HLRCC) syndrome with a germline mutation of fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. There is currently little evidence regarding the most effective systemic treatment for advanced FHdef RCC. We present three cases of metastatic FHdef RCC, all achieving tumor response with combination immunotherapy ipilimumab and nivolumab (Ipi/Nivo). A 50-year-old male, a 27-year-old male and a 48-year-old female...

INTRODUCTION: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing remains a controversial issue. However, most urological guidelines recommend PSA testing in men aged 55-69 through a shared decision-making process with the patient. The impact of prior cancer diagnosis on PSA testing is not well-known. To compare PSA testing in men aged 55-69 years with and without a history of cancer (excluding prostate cancer patients). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Utilizing the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), a retrospective cross-sectional study during the year 2018 was carried out...

INTRODUCTION: 5α-reductase inhibitors (5ARI) are commonly prescribed medications. There is ongoing controversy about the adverse events of these medications. The aim of this study is to characterize lawsuits in Canada involving medical complications of 5ARIs use. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Legal cases were queried from CanLII. Cases were included if they involved a party taking a 5ARI who alleged an adverse event. Relevant full cases were retained, and pertinent characteristics were extracted with the help of a legal expert...
