Ureteral wall thickness (UWT) was proposed as a potential predictor for spontaneous stone passage (SSP). In earlier studies, the effect could not be isolated from size. Accordingly, we sought to determine whether UWT, alone or combined with size, enhance SSP predictability.

The incidental small renal mass (SRM; ≤4 cm; clinical T stage [cT]1a) has become increasingly common due to the widespread utilisation of ultrasonography and cross-sectional imaging. Today, most such patients present with asymptomatic, localised disease that can be surgically treated curative intent; however, up 25% SRMs are benign [1]. This creates a dilemma: balancing removal malignant tumours avoiding needless active treatment for masses. 'BJUI Clinical Dilemma' presents structured format...

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) is a size-independent, endoscopic management option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). HoLEP offers distinct advantage patients who are at high-risk bleeding whilst preserving tissue pathology analysis, unlike photoselective vaporization. Further, avoids need cystotomy, simple open and robotic prostatectomy, by using intravesical morcellation. We report our experience with first 1000 procedures institution. performed retrospective review...

Objectives To assess whether office‐based fulguration (OF) under local anaesthesia for small, recurrent, pathological Ta low‐grade (LG) non‐muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is an effective alternative to transurethral resection of tumour (TURBT), avoiding the costs and risks procedure, anesthesia. Patients Methods Of 521 patients with primary TaLG NMIBC, this retrospective study included 270 who underwent OF during follow‐up papillary LG‐appearing tumours at a university centre...

Patients with Ta low-grade (LG) nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) rarely develop metastases or die of it. Long-term data are scant and length follow-up poorly defined. This retrospective study included 521 patients diagnosed primary TaLG NMIBC (n = 491) papillary urothelial neoplasm low malignant potential 30) from 1989 to 2019 at an academic center. Patient were acquired using patient records chart review a informatics registry the Risk recurrence progression in stage muscle...

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the procedure of choice for management complex or large renal stones. A major challenge surgeon, however, need to assimilate nearly 2000 static images from a CT scan into functional mental image enable surgical planning. Accordingly, we investigated potential immersive virtual reality (iVR) enhance planning and its impact on outcomes among patients undergoing PCNL.
