BACKGROUND: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is the most common cause of urinary retention in men (BPH). The gold standard surgical treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, due to the morbidity and mortality associated with TURP, more minimally invasive treatments, such as vaporizing the prostate with the Rezum system, have been introduced. We investigated the efficacy of Rezum in the treatment of refractory urinary retention due to BPH in this review. METHODOLOGY AND MATERIALS: To conduct this review, the Cochrane methodology for systematic reviews was used...

INTRODUCTION: Improper penile assessment, together with carrying out circumcision by an inexperienced person, results in major complications. One of the complex complications is the complete or sub-complete penile skin loss, which in many cases, necessitates one or staged repair. PURPOSE: To evaluate modified one-stage bilateral anterolateral scrotal-based flaps to compensate for penile skin loss after circumcision. METHODS: This study was performed on patients with almost penile skin loss after circumcision from February 2013 to July 2021...

BACKGROUND: There is unanimous agreement amongst hypospadias surgeons to use an intermediate layer to cover the neourethra. Dartos fascia and tunica vaginalis (TV) flaps are the most preferred tissues to be used. Tissue glue, sealants and biomaterials are also useful where there is a paucity of local tissue to cover the neourethra. But these blood-derived products have associated infectious and allergic risks. The autologous human platelet concentrate (APC) contains biologically active factors and is safe for wound healing and soft tissue reconstruction...

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the effect of bacterial colonization on ureteral stent-associated morbidity. METHODS: This was a prospective study that took place between February 2019 and March 2022. We examined one hundred fifteen patients for ureteric stents application. On the same day of stent removal, the Arabic version of Ureteral Stent Symptoms Questionnaire (USSQ) was used to assess stent-associated morbidity. The stent-associated morbidity and the specificity and sensitivity of culture in the stent and midstream urine were recorded...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a frequent urological diagnosis that affects men's quality of life. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a recent treatment option for patients with CPPS. We evaluated ESWT's short and long - term efficacy in managing CPPS. METHODS: This prospective self-controlled study included 75 patients diagnosed with CPPS at our tertiary pelvic pain clinic between January 2017-June 2019. Patients were referred for ESWT and received four sessions one week apart...

PURPOSE: Cystoscopy (rigid/flexible [FC]) is the standard surveillance tool for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Nevertheless, it has its drawbacks. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of microscopic hematuria (MH), abdominal ultrasonography (US), and urine cytology (UC) as potential substitutes for FC in patients with T1-low-grade (T1-LG) NMIBC. METHODS: Over a 12-month period, patients attending our tertiary referral center for T1-LG NMIBC follow-up underwent urine analysis for MH and UC, and then US and FC were performed as outpatient surveillance procedures...

INTRODUCTION: Urosepsis is one of the most serious complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). To date, many studies aim to prescreen urosepsis possibility after PCNL through blood components. This meta-analysis aims to determine C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) obtained preoperatively used to predict postoperative sepsis after PCNL. METHODS: A comprehensive literature search was performed through the electronic databases in March 2022...

OBJECTIVES: Penile prosthesis insertion is a well-established therapeutic option in refractory ischemic priapism but there is a lack of standardization regarding the timing of surgery, the type of prosthesis (malleable or inflatable), as well as the possible complications. In this study, we retrospectively compared early versus delayed penile prosthesis insertion in patients with refractory ischemic priapism. METHODS: 42 male patients who presented with refractory ischemic priapism during the period between January 2019 and January 2022 were included in this study...

OBJECTIVES: Safety of GreenLight™ laser prostatectomy (GL-LP) in patients with ongoing blood thinners has been proven. Yet, the possibility of drug manipulation makes it a less challenging situation compared to treating patients with uncorrectable bleeding tendency. Herein, we aim at evaluating the outcomes of XPS™-180 W GL-LP for treatment of BPH in patients who had uncorrectable bleeding tendency due to hepatic dysfunction. METHODS: A prospectively maintained database for all patients who underwent GL-LP for symptomatic BPH was reviewed...

OBJECTIVES: To identify cystourethrogram (CUG) findings that independently predict the outcome of posterior urethroplasty (PU) following pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI). METHODS: Findings of CUG included the location of the proximal end of the bulbar urethra in zones A (superficial) or B (deep) according to its relationship with the pubic arch. Others included the presence of pelvic arch fracture, bladder neck, and posterior urethral appearance. The primary outcome was the need for reintervention either endoscopically or by redo urethroplasty...

To facilitate nerve preservation during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RP), hydrodissection (HD) using an injection catheter was performed. HD during RP is a nerve-sparing technique in which an epinephrine solution is injected into the lateral prostatic fascia to separate it from the prostatic capsule. Although the beneficial effects of HD on postoperative sexual function have been reported, HD has rarely been used in robot-assisted RP. The primary reason may be the potential benefits of robotic surgery, such as less bleeding, magnified surgical view, and fine movement of instruments; another possible reason is the difficulty of handling sharp needles in a narrow intra-abdominal surgical space of robot-assisted RP...
