Robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion – The new ‘gold standard’? Evidence from a systematic review
Conclusions Although initial outcomes appear promising, RARC with ICUD is far from gaining ‘gold standard’ status. Further studies are needed to confirm that outcomes are reproducible widely. Furthermore, the benefits of a totally intracorporeal approach must be confirmed in randomised controlled trials. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Twin penile skin flap, is it the answer for repair of long anterior urethral strictures?
Conclusions In the presence of a favourable urethral plate and ample non-hirsute penile skin, one-stage twin penile skin flap urethroplasty provides excellent results for non-LS related complex strictures, with minimal acceptable complications. It proved to be especially efficient in circumcised patients. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Neo-glans reconstruction for penile cancer: Description of the primary technique using autologous testicular tunica vaginalis graft
Publication date: Available online 21 March 2018 Source:Arab Journal of Urology Author(s): Peter Weibl, Christina Plank, Rudolf Hoelzel, Stefan Hacker, Mesut Remzi, Wilhelm Huebner Partial penectomy (glansectomy with/or without distal corporectomy) is an acceptable alternative for smaller distal pT3 penile carcinoma lesions in highly motivated and compliant patients. The authors describe a novel technique of neo-glans reconstruction using a tunica vaginalis (TV) testis allograft. However, due to an unclear resection margin on final histology, the patient underwent re-do surgery with a neo-glans revision using the w...

Laparoscopic renal surgery is here to stay
Conclusion With the high cost and lack of overt clinical benefit of the robotic approach, laparoscopic renal surgery will likely continue to remain relevant in treating various urological pathologies. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Systematic review of antioxidant types and doses in male infertility: Benefits on semen parameters, advanced sperm function, assisted reproduction and live-birth rate
Conclusion Antioxidants generally have a favourable effect on male fertility. Further studies are needed to identify the optimal antioxidant regimen that can be used safely and efficiently in clinical practice. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

A systematic review on the genetics of male infertility in the era of next-generation sequencing
Conclusions Male infertility is a condition that is genetically heterogeneous, and therefore remarkably amenable to study by NGS. Although some headway has been made, given the high incidence of this condition despite its detrimental effect on reproductive fitness, there is significant potential for further discoveries.

Lifestyle causes of male infertility
Conclusion The major lifestyle factors discussed in the present review are amongst the multiple potential risk factors that could impair male fertility. However, their negative impact may well be mostly overcome by behaviour modification and better lifestyle choices. Greater awareness and recognition of the possible impact of these lifestyle factors are important amongst couples seeking conception. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Update on the proteomics of male infertility: A systematic review
Conclusion In this molecular era, sperm proteomics has created a platform for enhanced understanding of male reproductive physiology as a potential tool for identification of novel protein biomarkers related to sperm function in infertile men. Therefore, it is believed that proteomic biomarkers can overcome the gaps in information from conventional semen analysis that are of limited clinical utility. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)
