Is the 4.5-F ureteroscope (Ultra-Thin) an alternative in the management of ureteric and renal pelvic stones?
ConclusionsThe Ultra-Thin has a similar success rate as the 7.5–9.5F URS in the treatment of ureteric stones and is a feasible option in patients in whom a conventional URS cannot be advanced through any segment of the ureter. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

The use of a string with a stent for self-removal following ureteroscopy: A safe practice to remain
ConclusionsThe use of a stent with a string after URS appears safe and effective. Few patients had difficulty removing their stents and complication rates were similar in the groups with and without a string attached to their stents. Single- and double-arm-stringed stents have similar complication rates. (Source: Arab Journal of Urology)

Contemporary use of ultrasonic versus standard electrosurgical dissection in laparoscopic nephrectomy: Safety, efficacy and cost
ConclusionsES is a safe and feasible tool like USD in LN when used with caution. USD facilitates completion of difficult cases and reduces intraoperative blood loss. However, the majority of LNs can be completed safely with ES. ES is sturdy and cheap; therefore, selective use of USD appears to be the most cost-effective policy in the developing world.

Risk factors for the development of flank hernias and bulges following surgical flank approaches to the kidney in adults
ConclusionHigh BMI, the use of self-retaining retractor, not identifying or preserving the NVB, postoperative abdominal distention, en masse wound closure, surgical wound infection, and constipation are significant risk factors associated with postoperative flank hernia and bulge.

Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP): Results, complications, and risk factors in 139 consecutive cases
ConclusionThuLEP is safe and reproducible. Whilst it significantly reduces intraoperative bleeding as compared to transurethral resection of the prostate, operating time and perioperative heparin prophylaxis may still lead to a Hb drop and constitute a risk factor for postoperative bleeding. Therefore, a potential risk of deep vein thrombosis requiring heparin prophylaxis should be carefully considered and balanced with the expected clinical benefit of the operation.

Successful management of ureteric endometriosis by laparoscopic ureterolysis – A review and report of three further cases
Conclusion Considering 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)

Uretero-arterial fistula due to a hypogastric aneurysm
We report a case of uretero-arterial fistula due to a hypogastric aneurysm. The patient underwent an endovascular treatment of the hypogastric aneurysm associated with a percutaneous nephrostomy. Most fistulae are not identified on computed tomography (CT) and a high degree of suspicion is needed. Presence of unexplained haematuria with CT diagnosis of hypogastric aneurysm should raise suspicions of uretero-arterial fistula as a possible cause. (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 2018 Source:Arab Journal of Urology Author(s): Jihad Kaouk, Juan Garisto, Riccardo Bertolo With 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 loc...
