To compare safety and efficacy of holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) versus bipolar plasmakinetic resection (BPRP) of prostate in management of large sized (≥75gm) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Objective: To explore the application of Endo-GIA stapler in laparoscopic radical cystectomy, especially in the treatment of lateral bladder ligament, and to evaluate its clinical feasibility and practicability.
Inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) is an essential step in both treatment and staging of several malignancies including penile and vulvar cancers. Various open, video endoscopic, and robotic-assisted techniques have been utilized so far.
Are de novo mutations in the human genome associated with male infertility? We identified de novo mutations in five candidate genes: SEMA5A, NEURL4, BRD2, CD1D, and CD63. Epidemiological and genetic studies have consistently indicated contribution of genetic factors to the etiology of male infertility, suggesting that more than 1500 genes are involved in spermatogenesis.
Peyronie’s disease is a common, benign condition characterized by an acquired penile abnormality due to fibrosis of the tunica albuginea. This may lead to penile curvature, deformity, discomfort, pain, and erectile dysfunction, resulting in emotional and psychosocial effects on patients.
With an increase in the number of cancer survivors each year, male sexual dysfunction becomes an important topic for discussion between patients and providers who treat cancer. The aim of this article is to review types and mechanisms of sexual dysfunction after cancer therapy and discuss treatment options.
To evaluate the functional outcomes as they relate to the preservation of urinary continence and sexual function after treatment with the temporarily implanted nitinol device (iTind; Medi-Tate Ltd, Israel); a novel minimally invasive treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has become an increasingly common surgical management option for treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has long been considered the gold standard, contemporary literature and newer guidelines indicate that HoLEP has become the new size-independent endoscopic gold standard for surgical BPH […]
To evaluate the efficacy of repeat endoscopic electrofulguration in women with antibiotic-refractory, recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) with persistent symptoms after one electrofulguration.
The treatment of low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUCs) after either surgery, or nephron-sparing techniques remains an unmet need in Genitourinary (GU) Oncology. UGN-101 is a novel drug in development for the treatment of UTUCs; it is composed of a sustained-release hydrogel polymer-based formulation containing the antitumor antibiotic mitomycin-C (MM-C); cold UGN-101 is liquid, but […]
