Introduction: Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are a significant health problem worldwide, especially among women. methenamine hippurate has been proposed as a preventive measure against recurrent UTIs. This updated systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of methenamine hippurate in preventing UTIs, incorporating the latest research findings and employing trial sequential analysis to assess the robustness of the evidence.

Materials and methods: A systematic review was conducted across MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar up to March 2024 for randomized controlled trials comparing methenamine hippurate with placebo or antibiotic in adult women with a history of recurrent, confirmed UTIs. Key outcomes included symptomatic UTIs as primary outcome and positive urine culture, asymptomatic bacteriuria and adverse effects as secondary outcomes. It is important to state that asymptomatic UTIs with negative urine cultures were not adequately accounted for in the studies; therefore, this outcome was excluded from our meta-analysis. Additionally, adverse effects related to antibiotic resistance were not described in the studies, so only the adverse effects of the medications themselves were considered. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2, and statistical analysis was conducted using RStudio software.

Results: We retrieved 5 articles, encompassing 216 patients in the methenamine group and 205 patients in the control group (Antibiotic). Our analysis revealed non-inferiority in the rate of symptomatic UTI episodes between the two groups (RR 1.15; 95%CI 0.96,1.38; p = 0.41; I2 = 0%). Similarly, there were no notable distinctions in the rate of positive urine cultures (RR 1.20; 95CI 0.91, 1.57; p = 0.25; I2 = 28%), and the rate of adverse effects (RR 0.98; 95CI 0.86, 1.12; p = 0.35; I2 = 9%). However, we observed a decreased frequency of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the control group (RR 1.91; 95CI 1.29, 2.81; p = 0.0001; I2 = 0%). In trial sequential analysis, existing studies were not able to achieve the futility boundaries.

Conclusions: Overall, our meta-analysis provides evidence supporting methenamine hippurate as an effective, non-inferior and safe prophylactic option for preventing recurrent UTIs in adult women, as demonstrated by the current evidence base. Nevertheless, more RCTs are necessary to achieve the futility boundaries in trial sequential analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) with potassium sodium hydrogen citrate(PSHC) for the treatment of 20-30 mm uric acid renal stones.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of outcomes of patients with 20-30 mm uric acid renal stones who were treated with FURS and holmium lithotripsy was conducted between July 2021 and May 2024. Of them, 60 patients accepted FURS combined potassium sodium hydrogen citrate(PSHC) therapy while 70 patients underwent the FURS procedure alone. The demographic data, stone characteristics, surgical details, and perioperative outcomes of the patients were assessed retrospectively. Stone-free status was defined as the complete absence of stones on computed tomography.

Results: Totally 130 patients were enrolled and analyzed in this study. No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of gender, age, body mass index, comorbidities, stone burden, stone density, number of stones, or laterality. The mean operation time, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, postoperative stay, and complication rate were also similar between the groups. The combined group incurred higher costs (p < 0.01),but it achieved significantly higher stone-free rate and Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life Questionnaire score at 4 weeks post-operatively (96.7% vs. 85.7%,p = 0.029;124.63 vs. 114.44,p < 0.01). Additionally, the combined group had a significantly higher urine pH at 4 weeks postoperatively compared to the non-combined group (6.63 vs. 5.50, p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Compared to a single procedure, FURS combined with PSHC therapy is an effective and safe treatment for 20-30 mm uric acid renal stones.

Background: Transurethral enucleation with bipolar energy (TUEB) is one of endoscopic enucleation methods for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Authors investigated initial outcomes of TUEB performed by a single surgeon.

Methods: From 04/2016 to 06/2021, prospectively collected clinical data of 387 patients who underwent TUEB were retrospectively analyzed. TUEB was performed by transurethral resection in a saline system with a spatula loop (one-lobe enucleation technique). Patients were stratified by surgery period (early vs. late) and evaluated perioperatively.

Results: A total of 387 patients were included in the final analysis. Mean age was 72.4 years and total prostate volume was 73.1 cc as in the whole group. Total procedure time (116.0 vs. 116.8 min, p = 0.863), detailed procedure time (enucleation: 49.2 vs. 46.1 min, p = 0.099; morcellation: 26.5 vs. 23.6 min, p = 0.162) and enucleated tissue weight (26.1 g vs. 27.9 g, p = 0.350) did not differ significantly between groups. However, there were significant differences in enucleated tissue weight per unit time (g/min) (0.52 vs. 0.58, p = 0.037), reoperation rates due to bleeding (9.8% vs. 2.5%, p = 0.002), and conversion to transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) (19.2% vs. 1.5%, p < 0.001). At 6 months post-operatively, there were insignificant differences in the rates of de novo stress incontinence (p = 0.188), urethral stricture (p = 0.158), and bladder neck contracture (p = 0.477).

Conclusion: TUEB is a safe and effective technique for the treatment of BPH, resulting in significant improvements in both subjective and objective symptoms. With increasing surgical experience, efficacy of the procedure has significantly improved in terms of both bleeding complication rates and TURP conversion rates.

Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

Introduction: In recent years, a chemoradiotherapy has been developed as a radical treatment for stage II-III muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) that can preserve the bladder for patients who cannot tolerate radical cystectomy (RC) or who do not wish to undergo RC. However, most of the studies were conducted on younger patients with MIBC, and it is not clear if it is effective for elderly patients with MIBC. In this study, we reviewed the effects and adverse events after radical radiotherapy in elderly patients with MIBC to determine if radiotherapy has been/can be equally recommended for younger patients with MIBC.

Methods: We extracted full research reports in English comparing treatment results between different age groups and reports targeting elderly patients with MIBC. A keyword search of the PubMed database was conducted in the decade ending on December 8, 2021. Studies reporting post-treatment overall survival (OS), relapse-free/progression-free/disease-free survival (RFS/PFS/DFS), disease-specific/cancer-specific survival (DSS/CSS), and complete response (CR) rate, adverse events (AEs), and quality of life (QOL) in elderly patients with MIBC were searched. Thirty-nine full articles, including those with comparisons by age group or treatments for elderly patients, were retrieved.

Results: OS was significant or tended to be poor in elderly patients. There were no differences in PFS and CSS between younger and elderly patients. No differences in the rates of grade 3 morbidities between younger and elderly patients were also observed.

Conclusion: The lack of a difference in PFS/CSS and toxicities between elderly and younger MIBC patients indicated that curative chemoradiotherapy is effective for not only younger but also elderly patients. With advances in treatment, further prospective studies are needed to optimize the management of MIBC in elderly patients.

Objective: To investigate a novel intracorporeal minimally invasive procedure for robot assisted laparoendoscopic single-site partial nephrectomy.

Methods: This study reported our technique and the outcomes of a minimally invasive approach for partial nephrectomy, specifically robotic laparoendoscopic single-site ultrasound-guided renal artery balloon catheter occluded hybrid partial nephrectomy (LESS-HPN). A Freeport for LESS was inserted through a 4.5-5.0 cm skin incision. Instead of the traditional renal artery clamping technique, a Fogarty balloon catheter was used to occlude the renal artery or its branch. Tumor resection and wound suturing was then performed as routine steps.

Results: A total of 10 patients with T1 stage renal tumors underwent successful LESS-HPN from March to July 2023, with no conversions to renal artery clamping or additional ports. The mean operative time was 103.3 ± 11.1 min, including 21.0 ± 2.7 min of warm ischemia time. The mean estimated blood loss was 42.0 ± 22.5 ml. Tumors located posteriorly were associated with shorter operative time compared to those located anteriorly (p = 0.041). Occlusion of the main renal arteries, branch arteries, and accessory renal artery was achieved in 7, 2 and 1 cases, respectively. During a median follow-up of 10.5 months, no recurrence, metastasis, or death was observed. Limitations of this study include the small sample size, the absence of a control group, and the relatively short follow-up duration.

Conclusions: LESS-HPN has proven to be a safe and feasible alternative for achieving intracorporeal minimal invasiveness in patients with renal tumors.

Trial registration: Clinical trials were registered in September 4th, 2021, available at www.chictr.org.cn/ (ChiCTR2100050808). This article belongs to a selection of patients who were part of this clinical study.

Background: A large number of self-inflicted foreign bodies have been reported in the male urethra and urinary bladder. Polyembolokoilamania is a Greek derivative describing the behavioral phenomenon of inserting foreign objects into bodily orifices.

Case presentation: We report a 27-year-old unmarried male who presented the emergency department after inserting a knotted electrical wire with a glass tube at the top of his bladder. The patient admitted he inserted soft objects into his penis for pleasure, curiosity, feelings of emptiness, and the need for sexual excitement. A pelvic x-ray confirmed the presence of a knotted wire stump within the urinary bladder. Faced with these challenges, we tried utilizing a 7.5 F, 26-cm pediatric flexible cystoscope. Despite our best efforts, the tightness of the knot proved insurmountable. Under spinal anesthesia, a suprapubic cystotomy was performed, and the wire was untied and retrieved from the urinary bladder via the urethra.

Conclusion: When the urethra is too narrow for an adult cystoscope, a pediatric cystoscope can be a considerable intervention option.

Background: Deficient ventral prepuce is a rare anomaly of prepuce with normally situated meatus. It is usually associated with this or hypoplastic urethra.

Methods: A retrospective study included all infants diagnosed with a ventrally hooded prepuce. A penile degloving was the first step. Then reinforcement of the hypoplastic urethra by spongioplasty was performed. Sleeve resection of the hooded prepuce and reconstruction of sulcus corona was the last step.

Results: The mean operative time was 44 ± 9.5 min. A hypoplastic urethra was reported in 35 cases (30.4%). A urethral stent was inserted at the beginning of the procedure and removed at the end. Twelve patients (10.4%) developed urethral cutaneous fistulas by the end of the first postoperative month.

Conclusion: A hooded ventral prepuce with ventral chordee and normally situated meatus presents a challenge for paediatric surgeons. It is usually associated with a hypoplastic urethra. Attempts should be made to correct the chordee and preserve the urethra. The preserved urethra can be reinforced with spongioplasty. Unintended urethral injuries are common during dissection. Therefore, repairing the injury, reinforcing the dartos pedicle flap, and spongioplasty are suitable options. It is possible to preserve the urethra in patients having chordee without hypospadias. Utmost care should be taken to avoid urethral injuries which are common because shaft skin is stuck to the urethral skin. Urethral injuries can be repaired primarily; however, there is a high incidence of fistula.

Background: Inconsistent monitoring of prostate-specific antigen in patients receiving 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostate enlargement may affect prostate cancer outcomes. This study evaluated real-world practice among urologists treating patients receiving 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

Methods: This non-interventional, cross-sectional study collected data from urologists in Spain (N = 100) and Brazil (N = 100) via a self-reporting questionnaire and patient record forms. Endpoints included: frequency/methodology of prostate-specific antigen monitoring, concerns about the effect of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors on prostate-specific antigen monitoring, triggers of prostate biopsy, and concerns when switching 5-alpha reductase inhibitor formulation.

Results: Over half of urologists monitored prostate-specific antigen every 6 months (Spain 59%, Brazil 58%). Preferred methods were the "doubling rule" (Spain 66%, Brazil 41%) and "increase from nadir" (Spain 28%, Brazil 43%). A minority of urologists monitored unadjusted values (Spain 3%, Brazil 11%) or did not monitor prostate-specific antigen (Spain 1%, Brazil 3%). Most urologists ranked the potential for 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to mask prostate cancer as their top concern (Spain 65%, Brazil 56%). The most selected trigger for prostate biopsy was "if doubled (adjusted) prostate-specific antigen level after 6 months of treatment is > 4 ng/mL" (Spain 39%, Brazil 37%). Many urologists were moderately/very concerned about the effect on prostate-specific antigen when switching 5-alpha reductase inhibitor formulation.

Conclusions: An unmet need exists for standard guidance and continuous education to support optimal monitoring and interpretation of prostate-specific antigen in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostate enlargement treated with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

背景:接受 5-α 还原酶抑制剂治疗下尿路症状/良性前列腺增生患者的前列腺特异性抗原监测不一致可能会影响前列腺癌的治疗效果。本研究评估了泌尿科医生在治疗接受 5-α 还原酶抑制剂治疗的患者时的实际做法:这项非干预性横断面研究通过自我报告问卷和患者记录表收集了西班牙(100 人)和巴西(100 人)泌尿科医生的数据。研究终点包括:前列腺特异性抗原监测的频率/方法、5-α还原酶抑制剂对前列腺特异性抗原监测影响的担忧、前列腺活检的触发因素以及更换5-α还原酶抑制剂配方时的担忧:一半以上的泌尿科医生每 6 个月监测一次前列腺特异性抗原(西班牙 59%,巴西 58%)。首选方法是 "加倍规则"(西班牙为 66%,巴西为 41%)和 "从最低点开始增加"(西班牙为 28%,巴西为 43%)。少数泌尿科医生监测未调整值(西班牙 3%,巴西 11%)或不监测前列腺特异性抗原(西班牙 1%,巴西 3%)。大多数泌尿科医生将 5-α 还原酶抑制剂掩盖前列腺癌的可能性列为他们最担心的问题(西班牙 65%,巴西 56%)。选择最多的前列腺活检触发因素是 "治疗 6 个月后前列腺特异性抗原水平加倍(调整后)> 4 纳克/毫升"(西班牙 39%,巴西 37%)。许多泌尿科医生对更换 5-α 还原酶抑制剂配方时对前列腺特异性抗原的影响表示中度/高度关注:结论:在对接受 5-α 还原酶抑制剂治疗的下尿路症状/良性前列腺增生患者的前列腺特异性抗原进行最佳监测和解释方面,标准指导和持续教育的需求尚未得到满足。

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with venous tumor thrombus (VTT) is great burden over world. Radical nephrectomy (RN) with thrombectomy seems to be its gold standard operation, which might cause reduction of renal function. The aim of this systematic review was to provide evidence about the incidence, risk factors, possible reasons and influence of renal insufficiency in RCC patients undergoing RN with thrombectomy.

Methods: A systematic search using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library and European Urology databases was conducted. Study selection followed the PRISMA guidelines. After screening, eleven articles and abstracted fully compatible with the PICOS were included in this systematic review. The study was registered with PROSPERO, CRD42024516596.

Results: Overall, a total of 1,668 patients who were diagnosed with RCC and VTT and underwent RN (open/laparoscopic/robotic) with thrombectomy were analyzed. The postoperative renal insufficiency was present from 0.7 to 53.9%. Relevant risk factors of postoperative renal insufficiency could be summarized into three aspects: baseline characteristics (male gender, tumor thrombus level), intraoperative procedure (surgical method and inferior vena cava clamping time) and other factors (development of the times). The reason of renal insufficiency could be depletion of circulation volume, alteration in renal hemodynamics and condition of solitary kidney. The overall survival (OS) ranged from 2 months to 98 months. A clear association between survival and renal function could not be established because of the oncological risk on survival. Necessary managements like supplying blood volume, diuretic therapy and renal replacement therapy should be applied.

Conclusions: The present incidence of postoperative renal insufficiency was underestimated. More possible risk factors should be explored. Large cohort, multi-center, prospective, and well-designed studies would be necessary to corroborate these results and provide high-grade recommendation for clinical practice.

Background: Although sexual dysfunction is a common treatment side-effect affecting men's quality of life, many prostate cancer patients do not receive or seek out treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). The aims of this study are to investigate the extent and patterns of use of ED treatments and their perceived impact at different times following prostate cancer treatment.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all men on the South Australian prostate cancer registry who completed one or more Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) survey from 2016 to 2023 (n = 5561). Outcomes included self-reported use of ED treatment (oral medications, intra-cavernosal injections (ICI) and vacuum pumps) and their impact men's sex life at various time points after treatment. The type and timing of ED treatments used was analysed descriptively. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with utilisation and self-reported satisfaction were examined using multivariable mixed-effects binomial logistic regression.

Results: Post-treatment use of ED treatments did not exceed 43% at any timepoint, with utilisation rates decreasing over time. Oral medications were most frequently used, while vacuum pump and ICI use was limited. Oral medications were more likely to be used at three-months (odds ratio [OR] = 2.48; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] = 1.88-3.27) and six-months (OR = 2.10; 95%CI = 1.63-2.27) than at 12-months post-treatment, and among men from higher socioeconomic areas (OR = 2.41; 95%CI = 1.47-3.93, highest vs. lowest quintile), and following prostatectomy (OR = 4.37; 95%CI = 2.92-6.42), and less likely among older men (OR = 0.08; 95%CI = 0.05-0.13, < 60yrs vs. 70-79yrs). Men were more likely to report an improved sex life with oral medication use at two-years (OR = 3.79; 95%CI = 1.69-8.47) and five-years (OR = 3.07; 95%CI = 1.51-6.25) post-treatment compared with 12-months or if they were socioeconomically advantaged (OR = 3.22; 95%CI = 1.30-7.96, highest vs. lowest quintile).

Conclusions: A substantial proportion of Australian men do not access or continue to use ED treatments after prostate cancer treatment, with many users reporting only modest effects on their sex life. There is a need to improve access to and maintenance of ED treatments following prostate cancer treatment.

背景:尽管性功能障碍是影响男性生活质量的常见治疗副作用,但许多前列腺癌患者并未接受或寻求勃起功能障碍(ED)治疗。本研究旨在调查前列腺癌治疗后不同时期使用勃起功能障碍治疗方法的程度和模式,以及对其影响的认识:这项回顾性队列研究包括南澳大利亚州前列腺癌登记处在2016年至2023年期间完成一项或多项患者报告结果测量(PROMs)调查的所有男性(n = 5561)。结果包括自我报告的ED治疗(口服药物、海绵体内注射(ICI)和真空泵)的使用情况及其在治疗后不同时间点对男性性生活的影响。对所使用的 ED 治疗方法的类型和时间进行了描述性分析。使用多变量混合效应二项逻辑回归分析了与使用情况和自述满意度相关的社会人口学和临床特征:结果:在任何时间点,治疗后的 ED 治疗使用率均未超过 43%,且使用率随时间推移而降低。口服药物的使用率最高,而真空泵和 ICI 的使用率有限。与治疗后 12 个月相比,口服药物在治疗后 3 个月(几率比 [OR] = 2.48;95% 置信区间 [95%CI] = 1.88-3.27)和 6 个月(OR = 2.10;95%CI = 1.63-2.27)更有可能被使用,而且在社会经济地位较高地区的男性中(OR = 2.41; 95%CI = 1.47-3.93, 最高五分位数与最低五分位数),以及前列腺切除术后(OR = 4.37; 95%CI = 2.92-6.42):相当一部分澳大利亚男性在接受前列腺癌治疗后没有获得或继续使用ED治疗,许多使用者表示这对他们的性生活影响不大。有必要改善前列腺癌治疗后获得和继续使用ED治疗的情况。
