Journal Article
Association between sodium or salt intake and lower urinary tract symptoms: a systematic review
Background: High sodium intake is associated with cardiovascular and kidney disease, as well as the development of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The amount of salt intake can influence the development of symptoms, but reduction may benefit patients by lowering the presentation of LUTS…

Terminal digit preference: A potential bias in radiographic and pathologic evaluations of kidney cancer- retrospective single center study
Background The tendency to prefer digits zero and five as the terminal digits under various conditions is termed terminal digit preference (TDP). TDP can potentially introduce a significant bias into the management of patients with kidney cancer. Objectives To investigate whether TDP occurs during…

Machine learning–based prediction of BCG NON-RESPONSE in high-risk NON-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: An exploratory single-centre cohort study
Background Predicting BCG non-response in high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) remains a genuine challenge in everyday urological practice. BCG engages the host immune system, and variation in individual immune responses may be reflected in measurable pre-treatment markers…

Robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy outcomes with airseal® versus conventional insufflation: A single tertiary center comparative study
Background The AirSeal® Intelligent Flow System (IFS) is a valveless insufflation system that provides stable pneumoperitoneum and continuous smoke evacuation. While its safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in urologic surgery, evidence regarding its impact on perioperative outcomes in…

Journal Article
Effect of needle disinfection with different antiseptic agents on infectious complications after TRUS-guided prostate biopsy: a prospective randomized study
Background: Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-guided biopsy) remains widely used for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, but it is associated with a risk of infectious complications despite antibiotic prophylaxis. Objectives: To evaluate the effect of disinfecting the prostate…

Complete pathological response in patients with bladder cancer: predictors and outcomes
Pathologic complete response (pCR) in bladder cancer, most often defined as pT0N0 at radical cystectomy (RC) following transurethral resection of the bladder tumor with/without neoadjuvant therapy, has emerged as a powerful prognostic marker. Predicting pCR before RC and understanding its…

Predisposing factors for angioembolization in persistent hematuria after percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a retrospective analysis
Background: Hemorrhage is one of the most significant complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and may lead to clinically significant persistent hematuria requiring digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Identifying predictors of TAE may…

Journal Article
Renal metastasis of adenocarcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract with unknown primary site: a case report and review of the literature
Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is an aggressive malignancy with a persistently poor prognosis. Renal metastases from an occult primary adenocarcinoma are exceptionally rare and diagnostically challenging, frequently mimicking primary kidney cancer. This case report details a rare instance of…

Journal Article
Robot-assisted simple cystectomy for benign disease with medium-term follow-up: a case series
Background: Robot-assisted cystectomy (RAC) is well established in the management of muscle-invasive or high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, but its role in benign disease is less well described. This case series represents the largest published experience of RAC for radiation cystitis…

Journal Article
Characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of patients with metastatic prostate cancer during 2014–2022 in Pirkanmaa, Finland—an observational study
Background: The prognosis of patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) has changed profoundly in recent years. However, observational studies are required to understand the real-world outcomes of patients with mPC. Objectives: In this retrospective single-center observational study, we aimed…

Journal Article
Age-related differences in bladder function and sexual outcomes following bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate: a retrospective cohort study
Background: Benign prostatic obstruction negatively affects bladder emptying and, if untreated, may be associated with impaired bladder emptying and related complications. Objectives: To compare postoperative outcomes of bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (bipolar TURP) among different…

Journal Article
Optimal bladder cuff management in radical nephroureterectomy: A multicenter retrospective cohort study comparing one-position excision versus ureteral pluck technique
Background Given the complexity of radical nephroureterectomy (RNU), simplifying the procedure is particularly important. Objective To compare perioperative and oncological outcomes, this study evaluated a novel one-position bladder cuff resection (nRNU) against the conventional ureteral pluck…

Robot-assisted third kidney transplantation in a patient with exhausted iliac fossae: A case report
Third kidney transplantation is rare and technically challenging because of exhausted iliac fossae, dense adhesions, and increased vascular risks. Robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT) has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative, although its role in complex retransplantation remains…

Pelvic stone angle as a novel parameter for predicting stone-free rates after RIRS: A retrospective comparative analysis with established scoring systems-AUSET collaboration
Background Several scoring systems have been developed to predict stone-free rates (SFR) after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), but their clinical utility remains limited. The pelvic stone angle (PSA) has recently been proposed as a novel anatomical parameter for evaluating lower pole stones…
