Only 5% of all urological tumors are accounted as Testicular tumors. Furthermore, a well differentiated chondrosarcoma of the testis is extremely rare. Thus, we are representing a rare case of testicular chondrosarcoma. A 43-year-old male with right scrotal swelling did Doppler Ultrasonography demonstrating a large heterogenous hypervascular mass. Patient has had uneventful radical inguinal orchiectomy. The histopathology of the resected tumor reveled 50% se...

Susceptibility of hospital-acquired uropathogens to first-line antimicrobial agents at a tertiary health-care hospital, Saudi Arabia
Conclusions: The present study recommends the use of fosfomycin, cefoxitin, nitrofurantoin, and amoxicillin/clavulanate as the first choice UTIs treatment given their relatively high in vitro activity against major uropathogens. Knowledge of the bacterial species and their antimicrobial sensitivity patterns are always necessary to serve as a base for selecting the empirical treatment of UTIs as resistance rates vary geographically and with time.

Predictors of post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy sepsis: The Northern Malaysian experience
Conclusions: Patients who had positive preoperative urine leukocytes and/or cultures, and either harbor Staghorn calculi or are deemed to require more than one puncture on PCNL, were at an increased risk of developing post-PCNL sepsis. Such at-risk patients should be identified preoperatively, given aggressive perioperative antibiotic treatment, and monitored closely for septic complications during the convalescence period.

Detection rate of prostate cancer following 12-core extended biopsy in a Semi-urban Nigerian Tertiary Hospital
Conclusion: This study showed a higher cancer detection rate with a 12-core biopsy protocol when compared to similar studies from the Western world, the Middle East, and urban centers in Nigeria due to poor awareness and late presentation in our environment. (Source: Urology Annals)

Adjustment of tension applied in transobturator tapes in females with intrinsic sphincteric deficiency: Two centers & #39; prospective, comparative, randomized surgical trial
Conclusion: Performing TOT using our tensioned proposed technique in ISD seems to be effective and with low morbidity. Intraoperative adjustment of tension using Valsalva maneuver under saddle anesthesia gives better outcomes than the conventional tension-free technique. The concept of tension-free vaginal tape should be challenged. (Source: Urology Annals)

Comparative analysis of histopathological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma in the Middle East compared to other world regions
Conclusions: The distribution of RCC subtypes in this Middle Eastern cohort was significantly different from that reported in the Western hemisphere (Europe and the US) but similar to that reported in South America and Australia. These findings may point to a possible genetic predisposition underlying the global variation in distribution. (Source: Urology Annals)

Male sexual function after weight-loss surgeries in a group of Saudi population
Conclusion: The weight-loss surgeries have a significant effect on erectile function, and they improve patient sexual satisfaction. Most of these patients feel better sexual function after bariatric surgeries. Fertility outcome seems to have a positive correlation with this type of surgery. However, a larger sample size and more elaborate studies are warranted to substantiate this claim. (Source: Urology Annals)

A second opinion pathology review improves the diagnostic concordance between prostate cancer biopsy and radical prostatectomy specimens
Conclusions: A second opinion of PCa pathology helps to improve the diagnostic accuracy of NCB specimens. However, over half of diagnoses that matched between the initial and second opinions differed from the diagnosis of RP specimens. (Source: Urology Annals)

Trends in the surgical management of renal cell carcinoma in a contemporary tertiary care setting
Conclusion: There was a rising trend in the incidence of RCC associated with comorbidities and incidental diagnosis. In our study period we found increase in the trend of minimal invasive approach. The size of the tumor, blood loss and operative time decreases over the period of time. The Robotic assisted nephrectomy approach has become increased over the period of time duration in present study. (Source: Urology Annals)

The impact of the pelvicalyceal anatomy characteristics on the prediction of flexible ureteroscopy outcomes
Conclusion: The calyceal structure of the kidney affects the SFR; therefore, a detailed classification of pelvicalyceal could improve the outcomes, decrease the rate of auxiliary procedures and prevent the complications. (Source: Urology Annals)

Current surgical procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia and impression of new surgical modalities
Conclusion : TURP continues to be the main intervention for prostate sizes <100 g. Open prostatectomy is widely used intervention for prostate sizes more than 100 g. New modalities gained little acceptance among urologist practicing in Saudi Arabia. Hands on workshops may help in educating urologists and introduce these new modalities for the future use.
