Mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPNL) involves the creation of a smaller access tract compared with standard PNL (sPNL). Smaller tract sizes could lead to decreased blood loss, pain, and need for blood transfusion.
Acupuncture has promising effects on chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), but high-quality evidence is scarce. To assess the long-term efficacy of acupuncture for CP/CPPS.
In the past two decades, thousands of documents in the field of prostatitis have been published. This bibliometric analysis aimed to assess the characteristics, hotspots and frontiers trend of global scientific output on prostatitis.
This pilot study sought to (1) validate the use of a novel technology for single-sperm-cell genome sequencing (Sperm-seq) in infertile men who may not have optimal quantity or quality of sperm for genomic analysis and (2) compare these results to fertile donors.
Infertility affects one in six couples, half of which are caused by a male factor. Male infertility can be caused by both, qualitative and quantitative defects, leading to Oligo- astheno-terato-zoospermia (OAT; impairment in ejaculate sperm cell concentration, motility and morphology).
The world was first alerted to the existence of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on December 31st , 2019. In the 2 years that have elapsed since the beginning of this outbreak, sporadic reports have emerged of an impact on male reproductive health.
The Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to more than 160 million infections and 3.5 million deaths globally.
Alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists (α1-blockers) are first-line drugs for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Doxazosin gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) and tamsulosin belong to the 2 most frequently prescribed α1-blockers.
To evaluate urinary continence recovery time and risk factors of urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP). From January 2019 to January 2021, a consecutive series of patients with localized prostate cancer (cT1-T3, cN0, cM0) were prospectively collected.
To evaluate the relationship between recovery of urinary continence after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and preoperative prostate apex depth (PAD) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We retrospectively analyzed 184 patients with pathologic confirmed prostate carcinoma who underwent LRP in Department of Urology, Peking University Third Hospital.
