Lifestyle causes of male infertility
ConclusionThe major lifestyle factors discussed in the present review are amongst the multiple potential risk factors that could impair male fertility. However, their negative impact may well be mostly overcome by behaviour modification and better lifestyle choices. Greater awareness and recognition of the possible impact of these lifestyle factors are important amongst couples seeking conception. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Role of sperm DNA fragmentation in male factor infertility: A systematic review
ConclusionThe significant role of SDF in male factor infertility is supported by current evidence. The beneficial role of SDF testing in selection of varicocelectomy candidates, evaluation of patients with unexplained infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, selection of the most appropriate assisted reproductive technique with highest success rate for infertile couples, and assessment of infertile men with modifiable lifestyle factors or gonadotoxin exposure has been recently proposed.

Role of reactive oxygen species in male infertility: An updated review of literature
ConclusionAlthough elevated levels of ROS are implicated as a cause of infertility, there is no consensus on selecting patients to test for ROS, which test to perform, or if treatment for ROS can have a positive impact on infertility rates and pregnancy. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Hyperprolactinaemia in male infertility: Clinical case scenarios
ConclusionHyperprolactinaemia, both directly and indirectly, has a negative effect on sperm production, and its detection and management in men seeking fertility is mandatory. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Laparoscopic renal surgery is here to stay
ConclusionWith the high cost and lack of overt clinical benefit of the robotic approach, laparoscopic renal surgery will likely continue to remain relevant in treating various urological pathologies. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal urinary diversion – The new ‘gold standard’? Evidence from a systematic review
ConclusionsAlthough initial outcomes appear promising, RARC with ICUD is far from gaining ‘gold standard’ status. Further studies are needed to confirm that outcomes are reproducible widely. Furthermore, the benefits of a totally intracorporeal approach must be confirmed in randomised controlled trials. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Different approaches to the prostate: The upcoming role of a purpose-built single-port robotic system
Publication date: Available online 24 May 2018Source: Arab Journal of UrologyAuthor(s): Jihad Kaouk, Juan Garisto, Riccardo BertoloAbstractWith the aim of minimising the patient’s postoperative pain, expediting recovery and improving cosmesis, the idea of performing a laparoscopic procedure through a single abdominal incision was introduced. In the present report, we describe five different access routes to the prostate that may be at the surgeon’s disposal with the potential of decreasing patient’s perioperative morbidity. Robotic radical prostatectomy has been refined and became a standard of care in surgery for lo...

Successful management of ureteric endometriosis by laparoscopic ureterolysis – A review and report of three further cases
ConclusionConsidering the risk of loss of renal function and due to the nonspecific symptoms, a prompt clinical suspicion and thorough preoperative assessment can potentially help in the diagnosis. We conclude that laparoscopic ureterolysis is a minimally invasive technique with low complication and recurrence rates. It is a suitable option as a primary approach for selected patients with ureteric endometriosis, if done in a systematic step-by-step approach. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Preliminary study of prevalence for bladder cancer in Isfahan Province, Iran
ConclusionThe PP for BC in the male population was 4.8-times higher than females. There was a 28.6% increase in the Ir over the study period. Further study concerning environmental exposure, genetic factors, job-related exposure to various chemical carcinogens, and geographical distribution in Isfahan and its’ rural provinces would seem to be valuable.

Repair of panurethral stricture: Proximal ventral and distal dorsal onlay technique of buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty
ConclusionsA proximal ventral and distal dorsal onlay technique of BMG urethroplasty is an available alternative for repairing panurethral stricture. The technique described is simple and easily reproducible with encouraging results compared to other similar techniques. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)
