Uropathology: what’s the diagnosis?
Case 1 A 28-year-old man presented with a left testicular mass. Tumour markers were taken and he went on to have a radical inguinal orchidectomy. The specimen and histology are shown. Which testicular tumour markers were taken? What does their...The pioneer women in British urology
In this series of articles I am going to show you some of the exhibits contained in the Museum of Urology, hosted on the BAUS website (www.baus.org.uk). This month, I am joined by Kassie Ball, a urology trainee, who approached...
Long-term oncologic outcomes of salvage cryoablation for rrPC
Of patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PC), at least 15-20% will experience recurrence. Although salvage prostatectomy achieves durable oncological outcomes at 10 years, it is associated with significantly high morbidity. Thus, the majority of men with radio-recurrent prostate...
Characteristics of APC and the usefulness of MP-MRI for diagnosis
The authors evaluated the pathological and oncological characteristics of anteriorly located prostate cancer (APC) in 728 RP specimens, and the accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) for APC evaluation. Patients were characterised as APC (70% or more of tumour...
Selective denervation of the bladder
The treatment of refractory overactive bladder is currently limited to neuromodulation (sacral nerve stimulation or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation) or botulinum toxin injections. Although all these options are valuable, they have their own limitations and may not be suitable for...
Sexuality and erectile function in young men with spina bifida
As our patients with spina bifida (SB) continue to live longer into adulthood we recognise that many of these men experience challenges with sexual health, related to their underlying neurological function. Few studies on male sexual health in this population...
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...New – unique 20ml pre-filled syringe hyaluronate GAG replenisher

This year marks the ninth annual Bike4TUF challenge, which has raised in excess of £300,000 since 2012’s inaugural ride.
Why defining and managing DUST matters in endourology
In endourology, defining ‘DUST’ and optimising its management is vital for improving stone-free rates (SFR) and reducing complications. Residual fragments, even those ≤4mm, can act as a nidus for infection, obstruction, and recurrence. Studies have shown that 30% of patients...
FANS f-URS with mPCNL for 2–3cm renal stones
Flexible ureteroscopy (f-URS) has undergone substantial evolution with the introduction of flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS), expanding its applicability to larger renal calculi. Although mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mPCNL) remains a standard treatment for 2–3 cm renal stones, uncertainty...
