The History Display BAUS 2026
The Museum of Urology at BAUS History Display is back! Whilst the BAUS annual meeting was held in Birmingham it had not been possible to put on the display of instruments and artefacts, which had previously been a fixture at...Surgical treatment of LUTS secondary to BPH
For the vast majority of patients an initial trial of medical therapy for the management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is indicated [1]. In a substantial minority of cases however, a surgical intervention...History of prostate biopsy – part 2
For Part 1 of this topic is available here. The major limitations of the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy (PBx) protocols are the risk of profound sepsis and the risk of persistently significant false negative rates, related to the...
Radiation in paediatric urology – PURSE study
Urological operative procedures often use fluoroscopy for diagnosis and treatment of stone disease and structural anomalies. Paediatric tissues are sensitive to the effects of ionising radiation. Paediatric radiation safety has gained concerns due to the possible long-term effects such as...
Percutaneous ultrasound guided endoscopic lavage of perinephric abscess – different, but not necessarily better
Perinephric abscess is an uncommon but serious form of urosepsis. It develops as a consequence of the extension of an infection outside of the parenchyma of the kidney in acute pyelonephritis, or more rarely from haematogeneous spread of an infection...
Comparing treatment modalities for transplant kidney VUR in the paediatric population
The management of Transplant kidney vesicoureteral reflux in the paediatric population is a heavily debated issue and Deflux® injection to manage VUR is both widely described in the literature and commonly practised. In this paper, these authors have put forth...Digital Twins: From NASA to the clinic
Clinical practice generates an enormous amount of patient data – histories, observations, blood results, imaging and molecular biomarkers. The problem is that these data streams rarely talk to each other. Instead, we use them in isolation, when what we actually...Infections and inflammation: Part 3
See also Part 1 and Part 2 Case 1 You review a man in the Emergency Department with scrotal pain and sepsis. His clinical examination findings are shown. What does this image show? Who was this condition named after? What...Radiological appearances of non-vascular renal anatomical variants
Anatomical variants of the renal tract are common and, although often asymptomatic, may present with complications. It is essential to identify anatomical variants, as this may have an impact upon surgical planning and management. This article aims to demonstrate radiological...Micro-Ultrasound in Prostate Cancer: Diagnosis, risk stratification, and active surveillance
Prostate cancer diagnostics have undergone a major shift with the adoption of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), improving detection of clinically significant disease while reducing unnecessary biopsies [1,2]. However, MRI-based pathways come with practical limitations: cost, access, delays and reliance on radiological...
Is surgical antibiotic prophylaxis necessary for paediatric orchiopexy?
With the rise of resistant organisms to most commonly used antibiotics, there is a plea for judicious use of antibiotics, especially for clean surgical procedures. Potential adverse events associated with antibiotic use include allergic reaction (including anaphylaxis), clostridium difficile infection,...
