A prospective, single ‐center, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of three types of laser vaporization surgeries using a 180‐W GreenLight XPS laser, a 300‐W diode laser, and a 200‐W thulium laser for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia
ConclusionsOur study demonstrated that these three types of laser surgeries are similar in terms of complications and outcomes, with excellent hemostasis and high patient satisfaction. It was suggested that sufficient tissue vaporization could be achieved using less energy through PVP surgery. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in association with severity of degenerative spinal diseases: Short ‐term outcomes of decompression surgery
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated high prevalence of lower urinary tract dysfunction of CM and LCS as well as short-term effectiveness of decompression surgery. These results would encourage urologists to consider an orthopedic consultation when lower urinary tract dysfunction is identified in patients with degenerative spinal diseases.

Comparing surgical interventions for interstitial cystitis: A systematic review
AbstractThe purpose of this review was to summarize and compare the efficacy among surgical interventions in terms of symptomatic relief in patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The review protocol was published on PROSPERO. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 checklist was followed. Following database search, a narrative synthesis was performed. Data pertaining symptom scores, pain levels, and voiding frequency following surgery were summarized by calculating percentage change in these parameters. Multiple surgical treatments were identified. T...

Through the zipper or pants down: Does it change uroflowmetry parameters in healthy males?
ConclusionVoiding pants down shows higher flow rates and lower PVR than voiding through the zipper in individuals with no LUTS. Future studies with a larger number of individuals (including those with LUTS) and a broader age range cohort are required for solid conclusions. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)
