What is the role of evidence-based medicine in urology?
The concept of ‘evidence-based medicine’ (EBM) was first developed in the early 1990s and was described as “the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of the current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients” by the recently...Recent developments in bladder cancer – NMIBC
Every year, roughly 10,300 individuals are diagnosed with bladder cancer in the UK, making it the 11th most common cancer in the UK, and the eighth most common cancer in men [1]. Of those diagnosed with the disease, 75-85% will...Stuttering (recurrent ischaemic) priapism
Stuttering (recurrent ischaemic) priapism (SP) is a rare urological condition. Affected men will often experience almost daily prolonged and painful sleep related erections (SRE). Interestingly, these men report normal erections during the day and whilst awake. These episodes are usually...Bridging the gap: the role of ASiT and BSoT in inspiring the next generation of urologists
Urology is a highly technical, rapidly evolving specialty and yet under-represented. At a time of significant innovation driven by advances in minimally invasive surgery, endourology and robotics, it is more important than ever to ensure a strong pipeline of motivated...
Synthetic mid-urethral slings for stress incontinence in neurogenic LUTD
Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is heterogeneous because of the multiplicity of underlying causes and mechanisms. In women with NLUTD, stress urinary incontinence may be due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency caused by the neurological disease itself or from sphincter...ERUS25 (22nd Meeting of the EAU Robotic Urology Section)
ERUS25 is Europe’s biggest event dedicated to robotic urology, a highly dynamic meeting that also offers the opportunity to meet colleagues in robotic urology from across the world. The programme of the meeting is focussed on practical instructions on robotic...Infections and inflammation: Part 2
See also Part 1 and Part 3. Case 1 A 43-year-old lady presented to the urologist with a history of pain during bladder filling and associated frequency / urgency. She underwent standard microbiological and radiological investigations that are normal. She...Post radical nephrectomy presenting with skull metastasis
We present the case of an 83-year-old female who underwent right radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Despite negative surgical margins, the patient presented with a skull metastasis six years post radical nephrectomy. This case highlights the importance of...Priapism
Priapism is defined as an abnormally persistent erection lasting greater than four hours, not associated with sexual desire [1]. Although relatively uncommon with an incidence of 1.5 per 100,000 [2], priapism has a risk of complications which can have a...
Keep it simple: a proposal for a new definition of uncomplicated and complicated UTIs
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in both community and healthcare settings, leading to frequent antibiotic use. They range widely in severity, from mild cases like cystitis to severe, potentially life-threatening conditions such as...STRIVE Academic Centre: Urology Clinical Skills Simulation
@ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. This simulation based course will provide knowledge and understanding of urological clinical skills to help you become more confident in managing common urological issues.
