Post Traumatic Isolated Ureteropelvic Junction Avulsion in a Child
Isolated ureteropelvic junction injuries due to blunt trauma are very rare and are missed at initial presentation in more than 50% patients. Hence they need high index of suspicion for diagnosis which is the main aim of reporting this case.Curr Urol 2016;10:160-162 (Source: Current Urology)

An Atypical Presentation of Retroperitoneal Fibrosis
A 69-year-old man with a psoriatic arthritis treated with infliximab for 1 month presented to the urology clinic for lower urinary tract symptoms. He was found to have a new diagnosis of elevated creatinine. Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis revealed bilateral severe hydronephrosis with abnormal soft tissue thickening of the right renal pelvis and proximal ureter. Bilateral stents were placed after ureteroscopy demonstrated no abnormalities. A computed tomography-guided biopsy of the peri-ureteral lesions revealed fibroadipose tissue with sclerosis and extensive chronic inflammation consistent with retroperiton...

Kenalog Injection into Hunner's Lesions as a Treatment for Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
Conclusion:The use of a corticosteroid may be beneficial to symptom control and improvement in the quality of life of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome patients. Patients had improved frequency and nocturia 12 weeks post injection.Curr Urol 2016;10:154-156 (Source: Current Urology)

Clinical Importance of Histopathological Inflammation in Patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Due to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Prospective Study of 222 Patients
Objective:To investigate the relationship between the severity of histopathological prostatic inflammation with lower urinary tract symptoms and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels.Methods:We prospectively included 222 consecutive patients eligible for transurethral resection of the prostate in a non-academic referral center by a single surgeon. Patients with proven urinary tract infection or prostate cancer were excluded. Preoperative assessment included PSA levels, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), mean peak flow, mean resected prostate weight and post-residual volume. Finally, the presence and severity of ...

Bladder Neck Contracture Following Radical Retropubic versus Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy
Conclusion:RRP offers similar outcomes to RALP with regard to postoperative urinary extravasation, urinary continence, and BNC.Curr Urol 2016;10:145-149 (Source: Current Urology)

The Advantages of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate in Patients with an Elevated or Rising Prostate Specific Antigen, Mild or Moderate Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, Bladder Outlet Obstruction and Negative Prostate Cancer Imaging or Prostate Biopsies: A Prospective Analysis in 105 Consecutive Patients
Conclusion:BOO can cause an elevated or rising PSA in patients with minor LUTS and negative screening for prostate cancer. Transurethral resection of the prostate is an adequate treatment for these patients.Curr Urol 2016;10:140-144 (Source: Current Urology)

Nucleotide Transition 390C-T in the Wilms' Tumor 1 Gene: A Risk Factor of Hypospadias?
Conclusion:Nucleotide substitution 390C-T may play a role in the pathogenesis of non-syndromic hypospadias. The genotype-phenotype correlation should be confirmed by a larger-scale analysis.Curr Urol 2016;10:136-139 (Source: Current Urology)

Outcomes of Ureteral Stent Placement for Hydronephrosis in Patients with Gynecological Malignancies
Conclusion:Ureteral stent placement was associated with a poor prognosis in patients with gynecological malignancies. There were a few cases in which stent withdrawal became possible due to the improvement of hydronephrosis. In such cases, the withdrawal rate varied according to the cause and obstructive level.Curr Urol 2016;10:126-131 (Source: Current Urology)

Low-Risk Prostate Cancer and Tumor Upgrading in the Surgical Specimen: Analysis of Clinical Factors Predicting Tumor Upgrading in a Contemporary Series of Patients Who were Evaluated According to the Modified Gleason Score Grading System
Conclusion:Patients diagnosed with low-risk PCa at biopsy are a heterogeneous population because they include subsets with undetected high-grade disease. Significant clinical predictors of upgrading include the PSA value and P+. In low-risk PCa, we identified a high-risk upgrading subgroup that needed repeat biopsies in order to reclassify the tumor grade and to reassess the clinical risk category.Curr Urol 2016;10:118-125 (Source: Current Urology)

The Management of Unplanned Erection during Endoscopic Urological Surgery
Penile erection at the time of urological surgery is a rare but problematic event which can delay, complicate or even lead to the cancellation of planned surgery. Erection may occur irrespective of the type of anesthetic method employed. Several techniques for treatment of this troublesome complication have been described in the literature, all with varying levels of success and potential adverse effects. In our experience over the last 25 years, we have found that intracavernous injection of ephedrine into the penis has a 100% success rate in safely producing detumescence with minimum side effects and should therefore be ...
