Fertility preservation for paediatric patients
Paediatric patients are at risk for future infertility due to medical conditions and treatments. As the most well-known example, many patients undergoing oncological therapy are at risk of future infertility. In addition, those receiving immunosuppressive or stem cell transplant therapy...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...
Robotic vs. open ureteral reimplantation
Ureteral stricture disease is a frequent and complex problem in urological practice, most commonly arising from iatrogenic injury. Although its exact incidence is difficult to determine, reported rates range from 0.3–2.5% following gynaecological surgery, approximately 3% after ureteroscopy, and up...
Should expert genitourinary pathology review of orchiectomy specimens be mandatory?
This article contains recommendations from the European Association of Urology Guidelines Panel on Testicular Cancer and argues that centralised review of orchiectomy specimens by expert genitourinary pathologists would contribute to better patient management. Accurate pathological assessment is fundamental to the...
Preoperative risk stratification of high-risk prostate cancer patients
High-risk prostate cancer (HRPCa) is associated with a significant risk of recurrence after radical treatment. While several classification systems exist, the D’Amico criteria – based on clinical T stage ≥T2c, prostate specific antigen (PSA) ≥20 ng/mL, or Gleason score (GS)...
Changing concepts in endourological training – SIMULATE trial
Skill acquisition for endourological procedures is markedly different from traditional open surgical procedures, questioning the applicability of the presently used apprenticeship model. The lack of a universal simulation training curriculum has hampered its adoption into mainstream urological training. This study...Monkey glands
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). It’s not often that a urological procedure enters popular culture. This particular one...In conversation with Jo Cresswell
We were delighted to catch up with Jo Cresswell, Vice-President of BAUS, about her career highlights and views on urology in general. Can you tell us a little bit about what led you into the field of urology and what...Focal therapy trials
Men with localised prostate cancer have traditionally required whole gland treatment involving radical prostatectomy or radical radiation treatment, independent of disease location and size. Increasing evidence supports the use of active treatment only in those men diagnosed with prostate cancer...
Solifenacin and mirabegron are safe and effective in combination
Antimuscarinic agents remain the mainstay of medical management of bladder overactivity. Limited somewhat by their tolerability, the new agent mirabegron, a β3-adrenoreceptor agonist, has been approved as an alternative. There is little known however about the possible synergistic effects of...
