Pilot study to assess the feasibility of self-administered, low-dose methoxyflurane for cystoscopic procedures
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings in this pilot study provide proof of principle for the design of a randomized control trial to evaluate MEOF as an anesthetic in an outpatient cystoscopic procedural setting. As more urologic procedures are being performed in an outpatient setting, this may offer significant clinical benefit.PMID:38587974 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8676 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Treatment modalities for small-sized urolithiases and their impact on health-related quality of life
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with urinary stones 10 mm or smaller have better HRQoL when treated with MET vs. active surveillance, when treated with SWL vs. URS for renal stones, and when treated with URS vs. SWL for ureteral stones. There is an important need for more studies on this topic.PMID:38587975 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8698 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy vs. laparoscopic and open partial nephrectomy: A single-site, two-surgeon, retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Although patients who underwent RALPN had longer WIT, they had similar rates of complications, required less total OR time, and had shorter procedure time and LOS compared with OPN and LPN despite similar RENAL score compared to OPN and greater score than LPN.PMID:38587976 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8585 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Comparison of outcomes in patients with and without neurologic diseases undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with ND undergoing HoLEP are more likely to experience postoperative retention and higher complication rates compared to non-ND patients. While UTI rates are higher in this population, HoLEP significantly reduced three-month UTI and catheterization rates.PMID:38587977 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8683 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Restricted access and advanced disease in post-pandemic testicular cancer
CONCLUSIONS: There was a 16.8% rise in clinical stage III disease from the pre-pandemic to post-pandemic period. Our study failed to identify a statistically significant increase in metastatic testis cancer incidence upon lifting of pandemic restrictions. Further study is necessary to confirm suspicions that pandemic restrictions contributed to increased incidence of metastatic testis cancer.PMID:38587978 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8648 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

An analysis of benign prostatic hyperplasia surgical treatment reimbursement trends across Canada: Examining provincial changes over the recent decade with comparison to cost of living changes
CONCLUSIONS: The compensation model for endoscopic BPH surgery does not have a unified structure in Canada that is consistent across provinces, nor does it keep up with inflation, possibly impacting future recruitment, increasing geographic disparities, and most importantly, limiting the adoption of new BPH therapies.PMID:38587981 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8638 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Pediatric testicular torsion management practices: A survey of Canadian urologists
CONCLUSIONS: Neonatal patients and patients under 10 years old are most commonly reported to be transferred to pediatric hospitals for TT management. Patients located in rural locations and at centers with limited US access may be at risk for delayed diagnosis and treatment. Pathways for prompt management of suspected TT may better serve these younger pediatric patients.PMID:38587982 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8644 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)

Prognostic model using postoperative normalization of C-reactive protein levels in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma treated with radical nephroureterectomy
CONCLUSIONS: Non-normalization of postoperative serum CRP level and pathologic T stage were identified as independent postoperative prognostic factors in patients with UTUC who underwent RNU. These factors can stratify three prognostic groups and may help urologists in clinical decision-making for adjuvant therapy.PMID:38507711 | PMC:PMC10954285 | DOI:10.5489/cuaj.8393 (Source: Canadian Urological Association Journal)
