Urology for Medical Students and Junior Doctors
This book is a fantastic resource for medical students and junior doctors. It provides a concise overview of common urological scenarios, covering topics that medical students and junior doctors are expected to be familiar with. The book presents key points...
Worldwide flexible ureteroscopy practice uncovered
While guidelines recommend flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) for treating renal stones <1.5cm, considerable differences exist among urologists in the technique, use, and indications of fURS. In 2014, the Endourology Society set out to explore the differences in the fURS technique and...
Model to predict malignancy among Bosniak III cysts
This retrospective study over a 15-year period is to identify independent predictors of malignancy in Bosniak III (BIII) renal lesions and to build a prediction model based on identifiable clinical variables. These cysts, characterised by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), have...
First and second-line treatments in metastatic renal cell carcinoma
Over the past two decades, the treatment landscape for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has evolved significantly, leading to a quadrupling of patient survival rates. Modern systemic treatments include combinations of anti-PD-1 antibodies with either anti-CTLA-4 antibodies or antiangiogenic tyrosine...Developing a risk calculator to predict cancer in patients with haematuria: The IDENTIFY Study
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...Cutting-edge or over-hyped? Evaluating the role of robotic surgery in the management of renal cell carcinoma
The quest for a minimally-invasive approach to major abdominal surgery finds its roots at the start of the previous century, when Georg Kelling first described the technique of ‘ceolioscopy’ to inspect intraabdominal organs in 1901 [1]. Since those early days,...
RARP – novel uroflow stop test
More and more centres are doing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) surgery for cancer of the prostate .This study from Montreal, Canada describes a simple and novel test to predict recovery of urinary continence after RARP. The uroflow stop test...
