Overview of Pediatric Testicular Tumors in Korea.
Authors: Chung JM, Lee SD
Abstract
Prepubertal testicular tumors are rare compared with postpubertal testicular tumors. The incidence of prepubertal testicular tumors peaks at 2 years of age, tapers off after 4 years of age, and then begins to rise again at puberty. Prepubertal and postpubertal testicular tumors show many differences, including the typical tumor histology, molecular biological differences, and the malignant potential of tumors at different ages. Pediatric testicular tumors are classified as benign or malignant on the basis of their clinical behavior and histologically are divided into germ...

Histologic variability and diverse oncologic outcomes of prostate sarcomas.
CONCLUSIONS: The disease-specific survival rate of prostate sarcoma is poor. However, sarcoma that is detected early shows a better result with proper management including surgical intervention with radio-chemotherapy than with no treatment. Early diagnosis and complete surgical resection offer patients the best curative chance.

Location of positive surgical margin and its association with biochemical recurrence rate do not differ significantly in four different types of radical prostatectomy.
CONCLUSIONS: The location of the PSM seemed to be unrelated to type of RP. There was no significant correlation between the BCR rate and the location of the PSM for any of the RP types.

Comparison of Perioperative Outcomes of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy for Complex Renal Tumors (RENAL Nephrometry Score of 7 or Higher).
CONCLUSIONS: RPN provides perioperative outcomes comparable to those of LPN and has the advantage of healthy parenchymal preservation for complex renal tumors (RENAL score≥7).

Impact of metabolic syndrome on response to medical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study showed that MetS can negatively affect the response to medical treatment of BPH. Therefore, it is necessary to consider MetS in selecting patients with BPH for drug therapy.

Does preoperative urodynamic testing improve surgical outcomes in patients undergoing the transobturator tape procedure for stress urinary incontinence? A prospective randomized trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings showed statistically significantly better treatment outcomes in the urodynamic group (after excluding those with poor prognostic indicators such as DO, low VLPP, and MUCP) than in the office evaluation only group. We recommend exploiting the prognostic value of these urodynamic parameters for patient counseling and treatment decisions.

Efficacy, tolerability, and safety of oxybutynin chloride in pediatric neurogenic bladder with spinal dysraphism: a retrospective, multicenter, observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: OC is safe and efficacious in treating pediatric neurogenic bladder associated with SD. The drug is also tolerable and the safety profile suggests that adjustment of dosage for age may not be strictly observed.

Tumor-specific immunity induced by cryoablation in a murine renal cell carcinoma model.
CONCLUSIONS: These results showed that cryoablation, compared to surgical resection, was more effective in preventing tumor growth after rechallenge with RENCA cells and that this response was tumor-specific, because the CT26 cells did not have the same effect.

Reconstruction of an amputated glans penis with a buccal mucosal graft: case report of a novel technique.
Authors: Aboutaleb H
Abstract
Penile amputation is a rare catastrophe and a serious complication of circumcision. Reconstruction of the glans penis may be indicated following amputation. Our report discusses a novel technique for reconfiguration of an amputated glans penis 1 year after a complicated circumcision. A 2-year-old male infant presented to us with glans penis amputation that had occurred during circumcision 1 year previously. The parents complained of severe meatal stenosis with disfigurement of the penis. Penis length was 3 cm. Complete penile degloving was performed. The distal part of the rem...

Radiofrequency-treated recurrence of urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract after nephroureterectomy.
Authors: Molina R, Alvarez M, Capilla J, Páez A
Abstract
Local recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) owing to urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract is rare. The usual treatment is systemic chemotherapy followed by optional resection of the mass. We introduce the case of a 73-year-old male patient with multiple comorbidities in whom retroperitoneal carcinoma recurrence of 31 mm was diagnosed via positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan with 18-fluorodeoxyglucose about 5 years after he had undergone RNU owing to urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract. The patient ...

Prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria on rectal swabs and factors affecting resistance to antibiotics in patients undergoing prostate biopsy.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of quinolone resistance was 16.8% in rectal swabs performed before TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. A previous history of prostatitis was influential. In patients with a history of prostatitis, selection of prophylactic antibiotics before the biopsy may be reconsidered.

Prevalence and determinants of high-risk human papillomavirus infection in male genital warts.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of high-risk HPV infection was substantial in male genital warts. The site and morphology of lesions and circumcision status were significantly associated with the prevalence of high-risk HPV infection.
