Penile squamous cell carcinoma is a rare malignancy with various distinct histological subtypes, each with distinct appearances, histotypic specific associations with human papillomavirus (HPV) and clinical behaviour. Despite a wealth of pathological knowledge, there still remains a limited understanding of the fundamental molecular drivers that govern penile carcinogenesis with their underlying prognostic and therapeutic importance. […]

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is one of the most common treatments for primary prostate cancer. The primary limitation for EBRT is the potential for damage to surrounding tissues. Epidemiological evidence indicates that tomato products are associated with reduced PCa progression. Tomatoes contain carotenoids and other potent antioxidants that may protect the surrounding tissue from […]

In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) associated with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). In this field, one of the options currently available is the temporary implantable nitinol device (iTIND) (Medi-Tate®; Medi-Tate Ltd. , Or Akiva, Israel). To review the recent data available […]

Male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common in men and can have negative effects on quality of life (QOL). It is the hope that this Guideline becomes a reference for effective evidence-based surgical management of LUTS/BPH. The evidence team searched Ovid MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and the Agency […]

The objective of this study was to investigate a case of a permanently (suprapubic) catheterized woman with neurogenic bladder dysfunction. The patient had suffered from recurrent catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) since 2009, despite several prevention approaches and attempts. In 2013, the patient’s catheter was substituted for the BIP Foley Catheter, coated with a noble […]

The use of ureteral access sheath (UAS) during ureteroscopy is controversial. We aimed to explore practice patterns of UAS during ureteroscopy for nephrolithiasis among endourologists worldwide. A 15-question survey was designed using the SurveyMonkey® platform. The questions covered the background and professional experience of the potential respondents, indications for UAS insertion, UAS caliber and possible […]

Inadequate treatment of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) subjects them and their partners to lost quality of life, yet little is known about the cause and duration of symptoms that lead to penile prosthesis (PP) placement. We performed a systematic review addressing cause and duration of symptoms before implantation. We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane […]

Erectile dysfunction is defined as inability to achieve or maintain penile erection sufficient for sexual satisfaction. It is a serious problem that increases by age. The physiology of penile erection depends mainly on nitric oxide release. Compare the efficacy and safety of oral sildenafil 50 mg alone or in combination with l-arginine 3 g/day orally on the […]

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the literature on vesicovaginal fistula (VVF), including reporting on the aetiology, in both developed and underdeveloped countries; diagnosis; intraoperative prevention; and management. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature on VVF through the PubMed and the Cochrane Library according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic […]
