Antiangiogenic treatments play an important role in the therapeutic strategy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Apatinib is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2.

To investigate the outcomes of transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy (TSV) for the treatment of seminal vesicle calculi (SVC), prostatic utricle calculi (PUC) and combination of them, a retrospective review on 27 patients with SVC and/or PUC who complained of intractable haematospermia was conducted.

Introduction: We introduced a nurse-led telephone-based virtual stone clinic (VSC) follow-up for the surveillance of patients with asymptomatic renal calculi or those at a high risk of recurrent kidney stone disease (KSD).

Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is a significant source of morbidity for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and is managed with a range of treatment options that differ in efficacy, tolerability and cost.

Securing reliable data on functional outcomes following radical prostatectomy (RP) is paramount to patient follow-up and management. To validate an email-based patient-reported outcomes tracking system in assessing pad-free continence rates and time-to continence recovery following RP.

iTIND is the second-generation version of the temporary nitinol implantable device (TIND), which has emerged over the past decade as one of the latest additions to the library of minimally invasive surgeries now available to treat bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostate enlargement.

To determine the efficacy and safety of using the semi-rigid ureteroscope as the only ureteral dilator for primary ureteroscopy (URS) in the treatment of renal stones.
