Men's Health for Primary Care Clinicians
Often, men’s health gets overlooked. Studies show that men, particularly between the ages of 15 and 60, rarely seek medical help. So, when they do, it’s important that we are able to provide them with the best possible care. If...Management of calyceal diverticular stones using ultramini PCNL
Calyceal diverticulae are congenital smooth-walled, non-secretory urothelium-lined cavities within the renal parenchyma that communicate with calyceal fornix through a diverticular neck. They were first described by Rayer in Traitements des maladies des reins [1]. Calculi occur in approximately 9.5% to...
Age does not impact risk for urethroplasty complications after TIP repair of hypospadias
This paper is evidence of an increasing trend (especially in the USA) to lower the age at which hypospadias repair is undertaken. The current generalised best accepted age to repair hypospadias is between 6-18 months, which was reduced in the...The Urology Foundation are looking for a new chair for the Science and Education Committee

Practical Functional Urology
Whilst there is nothing unique in the individual chapters in this book it is rare for so many focused areas of interest to be integrated quite so well under one cover. The topics covered range from bladder emptying disorders to...
Cortical stimulation for voiding dysfunction in multiple sclerosis
Voiding dysfunction (VD) increases morbidity in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), and may be associated with urinary tract infections, stones and renal failure. Catheterisation is required when impaired hand function precludes self-catheterisation, which is associated with further morbidity. In this...A review of the diagnosis and management of urethral caruncles
Introduction The innocuous urethral caruncle is the most common benign urethral lesion in females. It can pose a significant challenge to urologists due to the plethora of differentials and poor evidence surrounding management. In 1926, Ferrier eloquently described the macroscopic...Immunotherapy in renal cancer
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the sixth most common solid organ cancer in the UK. In 2018, there were 403,262 people diagnosed worldwide with the disease (2.2% of all cancer cases), and it accounted for 175,098 deaths in total (1.8%...Missed Meyer-Weigert duplex ureter during emergency ureteric stenting for ureteric stones
The Meyer-Weigert rule is a fundamental anatomical principle in urology that describes the typical orientation of ureteral orifices in duplex kidneys. In a duplex system, the upper pole ureter usually inserts inferomedially, while the lower pole ureter inserts superolaterally. This...
Evaluation of the learning curve for learning MRI-US fusion prostate biopsies
With the advent of one-stop prostate cancer diagnostic clinics, the findings of this study are of interest to readers who may be implementing MRI-US transrectal or transperineal fusion biopsies to their clinical practice. This prospective cohort study evaluated 779 consecutive...
