Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) is associated with intrinsic testicular defects that severely impair sperm production. Although NOA invariably leads to infertility, focal sperm production may exist in the testicles of affected patients, which can be retrieved and used for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to generate healthy offspring.
To estimate the association between an erectile dysfunction (ED) diagnosis and other chronic health conditions, as well as, the association between receiving ED treatment and these conditions. Data was reviewed from the IBM MarketScan Claims and Encounters database between 2008-2017 for men ≥18 years.
INTRODUCTION Minimally invasive surgical therapies for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are popular alternatives to the gold standard transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). These procedures have fewer discernable side effects on urinary and sexual function, when compared to TURP, making it a desirable option for many patients.
To retrospectively compare the efficacy and safety of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) combined with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and simple TURP in treating large (> 100 mL) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
To assess the effects of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We performed a comprehensive search using multiple databases up to May 2021, with no language or publication status restrictions.
The majority of renal cell carcinomas are single lesions; unilateral synchronous multifocal renal carcinoma (USMRC) is rarely reported and poses a treatment challenge for urological oncologists. A 56-year-old man was hospitalized for pain and discomfort in the right kidney area for 6 d.
To describe the changes in urodynamic parameters after Remeex® placement in women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence (rSUI) or intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD) and to analyze a potential relationship between postoperative bladder outlet obstruction and a successful surgical outcome.
The standard management for upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). However, some patients cannot undergo this procedure for several reasons, such as unresectable disease, old age, and multiple comorbidities.
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are developmental cancers, tightly linked to embryogenesis and germ cell development. The recent and expanding field of RNA modifications is being increasingly implicated in such molecular events, as well as in tumor progression and resistance to therapy, but still rarely explored in GCTs.
To assess and compare perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for imperative versus elective indications. We retrospectively reviewed a multinational database of 3,802 adult patients who underwent RAPN for elective and imperative indications.
