Introduction
Limited evidence has been reported on the results of robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC) related to the type of sutures used.
Objective
The objective of this study is to analyze the results comparing absorbable with non-absorbable sutures. The primary outcome was mesh related complications and secondary outcomes were anatomical success, early complications and patient satisfaction.
Methods
A prospective, comparative study for the first 123 RASC surgeries performed between December 2016 and June 2022. All patients who underwent robotic sacrocolpopexy were included. No exclusion criteria were established. The procedures were performed by surgeon “A” who used non-absorbable sutures and surgeon “B” who used absorbable sutures. Patient data was collected at baseline, intraoperatively, as well as reporting early complications and mesh-related complications. Anatomic recurrence was defined as patients with POP ≥ 2 on the Baden-Walker scale while the sensation of vaginal bulge determined subjective failure.
Results
Non-absorbable sutures were used in 55.3% of the patients while absorbable sutures were used in 44.7% of the patients. The mean follow-up was longer in the absorbable suture group (21.5 vs. 35.3 p < 0.01).
No statistically significant differences were found in mesh-complication rate (4.4% vs. 0%, p = 0.16) and in anatomical recurrence and subjective (4.4% vs. 9.1%, p = 0.24).
The main limitation of our study was the absence of randomization.
Conclusions
The type of suture used for mesh fixation in RASC does not influence the anatomical outcomes, early complications or mesh-related complications.
机器人辅助骶colpop固定术（RASC）的结果与所使用的缝合线类型相关的证据有限。目的：分析可吸收缝线与不可吸收缝线的临床效果。主要结果是补片相关并发症，次要结果是解剖成功、早期并发症和患者满意度。方法：对2016年12月至2022年6月期间进行的首批123例RASC手术进行前瞻性比较研究。所有接受机器人骶骶固定术的患者均被纳入研究。未建立排除标准。手术由使用不可吸收缝合线的外科医生A和使用可吸收缝合线的外科医生B进行。在基线、术中收集患者数据，并报告早期并发症和网状物相关并发症。解剖性复发定义为巴登-沃克评分（Baden-Walker scale）的POP≥2，阴道隆起感为主观失败。结果：55.3%的患者使用不可吸收缝线，44.7%的患者使用可吸收缝线。可吸收缝线组的平均随访时间较长（21.5 P vs. 35.3 P）。结论：用于RASC补片固定的缝线类型不影响解剖结果、早期并发症或补片相关并发症。

Introduction
The management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) failing Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy remains challenging. The European Association of Urology (EAU) has standardized definitions of BCG failure. We aim to evaluate oncological outcomes in patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for NMIBC following BCG failure, as defined by the EAU.
Methods
Retrospective study analyzed 93 patients with NMIBC who underwent RC between 2011 and 2021 after BCG therapy failure. Patients were stratified into 4 groups: clinical NMIBC, clinical progression, subclinical progression (understaged), and pathological NMIBC (pNMIBC) groups. Oncological outcomes included cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate outcomes and predictors of disease progression.
Results
Among 93 patients, 64 (68.8%) had clinical NMIBC, and 29 (31.2%) showed clinical progression to muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) prior to RC. Of those with clinical NMIBC, 46 (71.9%) were confirmed as pNMIBC and 18 (28.1%) had subclinical progression. Patients with pNMIBC had significantly better 5-year CSS (95.5%) and OS (77.6%) compared to those with clinical (CSS 70.4%, OS 50.2%) or subclinical progression (CSS 64.1%, OS 43.8%). cT1 with conco-mitant carcinoma in situ and prostatic urethral involvement were independent predictors of muscle-invasive disease at RC.
Conclusions
Patients treated at an appropriate stage show superior survival outcomes com-pared to those with progression. These findings underscore the importance of timely surgical intervention in BCG-unresponsive NMIBC and support early RC in select high-risk patients to improve long-term prognosis.
简介：卡介苗治疗失败的非肌肉浸润性膀胱癌（NMIBC）的治疗仍然具有挑战性。欧洲泌尿外科协会（EAU）对卡介苗失败有标准化的定义。我们的目的是评估在BCG失败后接受根治性膀胱切除术（RC）的NMIBC患者的肿瘤学结果。方法：回顾性分析2011年至2021年间93例因卡介苗治疗失败而接受RC治疗的NMIBC患者。将患者分为临床NMIBC组、临床进展组、亚临床进展组和病理性NMIBC组（pNMIBC）。肿瘤预后包括癌症特异性生存期（CSS）和总生存期（OS）。Kaplan-Meier和logistic回归分析用于评估结果和疾病进展的预测因素。结果：93例患者中，64例（68.8%）有临床NMIBC， 29例（31.2%）在RC前有临床进展为肌肉浸润性膀胱癌（MIBC）。在临床NMIBC患者中，46例（71.9%）确诊为pNMIBC， 18例（28.1%）为亚临床进展。pNMIBC患者的5年CSS（95.5%）和OS（77.6%）明显优于临床（CSS 70.4%, OS 50.2%）或亚临床进展（CSS 64.1%, OS 43.8%）患者。cT1合并原位癌和前列腺尿道受累是RC肌肉侵袭性疾病的独立预测因子。结论：与进展患者相比，在适当阶段治疗的患者表现出更好的生存结果。这些发现强调了及时手术干预bcg无反应的NMIBC的重要性，并支持早期RC选择高危患者以改善长期预后。

Circulating RNAs (cfRNAs) have emerged as promising biomarkers in liquid biopsy for prostate cancer (PCa). However, the lack of standardization in their analysis and the heterogeneity across available studies limit clinical application.
Objective
To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic utility of the total concentration of cell-free circulating small RNA (cf-sRNA) and microRNA (cf-miRNA) in plasma and urine from PCa patients using accessible techniques, without identifying specific miRNAs.
Materials and methods
Prospective, longitudinal study including 143 men (111 with PCa and 32 healthy controls). Plasma and urine cf-sRNA and cf-miRNA levels were quantified with an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Levels were correlated with clinical features, tumor stage, and progression to metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC). A longitudinal follow-up was conducted in a metastatic subgroup.
Results
Plasma and urine levels of cf-miRNA and cf-sRNA were significantly higher in patients with advanced PCa, particularly in those who progressed to mCRPC (p < 0.05). During follow-up, a significant increase in plasma cf-miRNA was observed after treatment (p = 0.031), as well as an increase in the relative percentage of cf-miRNA in urine (p = 0.012).
Conclusions
Total quantification of cf-miRNA in plasma and urine is an accessible strategy with potential value as a dynamic biomarker for PCa monitoring and prognosis. Its use could complement current diagnostic tools, although further studies are required to validate its utility in clinical practice.

Paediatric urolithiasis is increasing globally, with metabolic abnormalities as a key contributing factor. However, standardized protocols for metabolic evaluation in children are lacking. This study assessed current practices and knowledge among paediatric urologists worldwide. An international survey was distributed in Spanish and English, gathering data on clinician demographics and metabolic evaluation strategies. A total of 194 clinicians from 49 countries responded. Only 11% routinely performed metabolic evaluations, and while 78% requested stone analysis, just 46% ordered 24-h urine studies. In 84% of cases, paediatric nephrologists were responsible for evaluations, with urologists involved in fewer than 25%. Knowledge of spot urine indices varied, and only 55% recognized crystalluria as a lithogenic risk factor. Fewer than one-third felt confident interpreting metabolic results or initiating treatment. These findings highlight inconsistent practices and limited involvement of paediatric urologists, underscoring the need for clearer guidelines and targeted education to enhance metabolic assessment in stone disease.

Introduction
Palliative care is a fundamental component of the comprehensive management of patients with advanced cancer, significantly improving quality of life. Since most patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) ultimately die from disease progression, end-of-life care represents a key element of quality cancer care. This area can be assessed through specific indicators derived from administrative data.
Materials and methods
We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with mRCC who initiated treatment at our center between September 2012 and September 2019, evaluating quality indicators related to end-of-life care.
Results
Of the 71 patients identified, 57 had died at the time of analysis (81.6%).
A total of 59.6% (95% CI 46.8–72.3) died in hospital, 64% of these in palliative care units. In the last 30 days of life, 22.8% (95% CI 12–33.5) visited the emergency room more than once, while only 1.8% (95% CI 0–5.1) were admitted to the ICU. Contact with palliative care services was documented in 49% (95% CI 36.1–62) of patients, although only 5.3% (95% CI 0–11.1) received early referral (more than 90 days before death).
Conclusions
Palliative care in mRCC is underutilized and predominantly offered as end-of-life care, with early referral being exceptional. Multidisciplinary strategies are needed to optimize these services.
导读：姑息治疗是晚期癌症患者综合管理的基本组成部分，可显著提高患者的生活质量。由于大多数转移性肾细胞癌（mRCC）患者最终死于疾病进展，临终关怀是高质量癌症护理的关键要素。可以通过从行政数据中得出的具体指标来评估这一领域。材料与方法：回顾性分析2012年9月至2019年9月在本中心开始治疗的mRCC患者，评估与临终关怀相关的质量指标。结果：71例患者中，57例在分析时死亡（81.6%）。共有59.6% （95% CI 46.8-72.3）死于医院，其中64%死于姑息治疗病房。在生命的最后30天，22.8% （95% CI 12-33.5）的患者不止一次去急诊室，而只有1.8% （95% CI 0-5.1）的患者住进了ICU。49% （95% CI 36.1-62）的患者接触过姑息治疗服务，尽管只有5.3% （95% CI 0-11.1）的患者接受了早期转诊（死亡前90天以上）。结论：姑息治疗在mRCC中未得到充分利用，主要作为临终关怀提供，早期转诊是例外。需要多学科战略来优化这些服务。

Introduction
Renal transplantation is the renal replacement therapy of choice in patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease. Major urological complications such as urinary leakage, ureteral stricture and urinary tract infection, usually occur in the first three months post-transplantation and lead to a higher morbidity and mortality and lower graft function.
Objective
To evaluate the impact of double J catheter colocation on major urological complications in extravesical ureteroneocystostomy in renal recipients.
Methods
Open clinical trial. The study included renal transplant recipients who underwent extravesical ureteroneocystostomy with trans-surgical placement of double J catheter compared to extravesical ureteroneocystostomy without trans-surgical catheter placement. The study variables were urinary leakage, ureteral stricture, urinary tract infection, surgical complications and graft function.
Results
84 patients were included, 42 patients in the study group and 42 in the control group, who had a mean follow-up of 10.7 months. Of the urological complications presented: 4 (4.8%) patients with urinary leakage, all in the non-catheter group (RR 0.475 95% CI 0.377−0.598, p = 0.04); 2 (2.4%) patients with ureteral stricture, one in each group (RR 1 95% CI 0. 246−4.066, p = 1.0); and 20 (23.8%) patients with urinary tract infection, being 9 (21.4%) patients in the control group and 11 (26.2%) in the study group (RR 1.135 CI 95% 0.710–1.817, p = 0.608). No differences regarding graft function were observed.
Conclusion
Our study showed a significant reduction in the incidence of urinary leakage with prophylactic ureteral catheter use, although no significant association was observed with other complications such as ureteral stricture or surgical complications. Furthermore, its use was not significantly associated with urinary tract infections or graft dysfunction.
肾移植是终末期慢性肾病患者肾替代治疗的选择。主要的泌尿系统并发症，如尿漏、输尿管狭窄和尿路感染，通常发生在移植后的前三个月，导致较高的发病率和死亡率，移植物功能下降。目的：探讨双J管配置对肾术后输尿管外膀胱造瘘主要泌尿系统并发症的影响。方法：开放式临床试验。该研究包括肾移植受者行经手术放置双J导管的体外输尿管膀胱造口术与不放置导管的体外输尿管膀胱造口术。研究变量为尿漏、输尿管狭窄、尿路感染、手术并发症和移植物功能。结果：共纳入84例患者，研究组42例，对照组42例，平均随访10.7个月。泌尿系统并发症中出现：4例（4.8%）患者出现尿漏，均为非置管组（RR 0.475 95% CI 0.377 ~ 0.598, p = 0.04）；输尿管狭窄2例（2.4%），每组1例(RR 1, 95% CI 0。246 - 4.066, p = 1.0)；尿路感染20例（23.8%），对照组9例（21.4%），研究组11例（26.2%）（RR 1.135, CI 95% 0.710 ~ 1.817, p = 0.608）。在移植物功能方面没有观察到差异。结论：我们的研究显示，预防性输尿管导管的使用显著降低了尿漏的发生率，尽管与输尿管狭窄或手术并发症等其他并发症没有明显的关联。此外，它的使用与尿路感染或移植物功能障碍没有显著相关性。

To determine the effectiveness and safety of pharmacological therapy in men older than 18 years with primary or secondary anorgasmia in terms of induced orgasm, improvement of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), or Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX).
Methods
we conducted this systematic review according to the recommendations of the Cochrane Collaboration and following the PRISMA Statement. We designed a search strategy in MEDLINE (OVID), EMBASE, LILACS, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from inception to the present. We assessed the risk of bias based on the STROBE statement for observational studies and the Rob 2.0 tool for clinical trials.
Results
234 patients were included, and 232 were treated with pharmacological therapy in seven studies. Some pathologies reported were a history of prostatectomy, hypogonadism, psychiatric disorders, and use of antidepressants.
Cabergoline was the most frequently administered treatment, followed by yohimbine and bupropion. The cabergoline improved orgasm in 66% of the population and yohimbine in 55%. The change in IIEF orgasmic function improved significantly with cabergoline and bupropion (P = <0.001 and P = 0.002). The ASEX improved with pycnogenol and was maintained in months 2,3 and 4 (p ≤ 0.05). The side effects reported were mild in three studies. Amantadine required discontinuation due to depression.
Conclusion
Pharmacological therapy with cabergoline, yohimbine, bupropion, and pycnogenol can have a positive effect on the orgasmic function of patients with primary or secondary anorgasmia.
目的：从诱导性高潮、改善国际勃起功能指数（IIEF）或亚利桑那性体验量表（ASEX）的角度，确定药物治疗对18岁以上原发性或继发性性高潮障碍男性的有效性和安全性。方法：我们根据Cochrane协作网的建议并遵循PRISMA声明进行系统评价。我们在MEDLINE （OVID）、EMBASE、LILACS和Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials （Central）中设计了一个从开始到现在的搜索策略。我们根据观察性研究的STROBE声明和临床试验的Rob 2.0工具评估偏倚风险。结果：纳入234例患者，7项研究中有232例患者接受了药物治疗。一些病理报告是前列腺切除术，性腺功能减退，精神疾病和使用抗抑郁药的历史。卡麦角林是最常用的治疗方法，其次是育亨宾和安非他酮。卡麦角林提高了66%的人的性高潮，育亨宾提高了55%。结论：卡麦角林、育亨宾、安非他酮、碧诺酚等药物治疗对原发性或继发性性高潮障碍患者的性高潮功能均有积极影响。

Introduction
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) may have long lasting effects on affected individuals, especially in females. Its intertwined relationship with urinary tract infection (UTI) has been well documented and there is a further risk during pregnancy where UTIs are more problematic.
Objective
To analyze existing data within the literature to identify factors associated with pregnancy-related complications in women with a history of VUR in childhood.
Methods
PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases were searched to identify all published reports of pregnancy outcomes in women with a history of VUR in childhood up to January 2024 (PROSPERO Registration ID: CRD42024550470). Selection criteria included all English-language original articles reporting pregnancy outcomes (maternal and fetal morbidities) in pregnant patients with a history of VUR in childhood. After screening and eligibility assessment, 17 articles met the PICO inclusion criteria.
Results
The search yielded 1060 papers, of which 17 remained after exclusions, and assessed 2349 women with a history of VUR in childhood,1167 pregnant women and a total of 2206 pregnancies. Compared with the general obstetric population, the results showed an increased rate of pregnancy-related complications (particularly febrile urinary tract infection, gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia) in the presence of renal scarring, even if the women had undergone anti-reflux surgery in childhood, but not persistent low-grade VUR.
Conclusion
Despite the lack of larger prospective randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up, based on the findings of this systematic review, we conclude that close monitoring during pregnancy should be recommended in the presence of persistent high-grade VUR or in women with renal scarring, even if VUR has resolved.
