The cost of bladder cancer: what can be done?
The rising cost of cancer care is a growing concern for health systems. A 2020 study estimated Europe’s annual cancer-related expenditure at €199 billion, with €109 billion attributed to healthcare costs. Bladder cancer (BC), in particular, imposes a significant financial...The microbial syndicate: dysbiosis and origins of recurrent UTIs
Traditional dogma held that urine was sterile. However, recent molecular studies have revealed an underground microbial community, known as the urinary microbiome or ‘urobiome’ [1]. Far from being harmful, this community of microorganisms helps modulate immune responses, regulate inflammation, and...Benign prostatic hyperplasia: what are the benefits and harms of various surgical management options?
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterised by stromal and epithelial prostatic cell hyperplasia. The enlarged prostate may be associated with voiding and storage lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). These have been predominantly attributed to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), assumed to...Enhancing performance and wellbeing for surgeons: the science of life coaching
Life coaching has emerged as a powerful personal and professional development tool, particularly for individuals navigating high-stakes environments. Life coaching emphasises self-awareness, self-management and self-efficacy, including establishing desired outcomes, goal setting and developing skills and action plans to achieve them....Enhancing performance and wellbeing for surgeons: the science of life coaching

Patients with haematuria require investigations to rule out urinary tract cancer. We know that the most common cancer found during these investigations is bladder cancer, whereas upper tract cancers such as renal cell carcinoma and upper urinary tract urothelial cancer...Challenges of catheter associated urinary tract infection: is prevention better than cure?
Catheterisation is a common medical procedure in which a catheter (a hollow flexible tube) is inserted into the bladder in order to facilitate the drainage of urine. Catheters are usually passed into the bladder via the urethra, either to be...
