Awareness about prostate cancer and its screening in Medina, Jeddah, and Makkah, Saudi Arabia population
Conclusion: The study showed that the level of knowledge of PCa is low. Thus, community and individuals should collaborate to increase awareness by having more awareness campaigns, disseminating the information through the media, and encouraging men to do screening tests as indicated. In addition, including more Saudi Arabia cities in future studies is preferable to have more precise outcomes. (Source: Urology Annals)

The core four - A panel of immunohistochemistry markers to diagnose and subtype testicular germ cell tumors
Conclusions: Designing a novel concise and affordable IHC panel constituting OCT 3/4, CD117, GPC3, and CD30 has good sensitivity and specificity in differentiating seminomas, YST, and EC, respectively. Additional markers, namely β-HCG, can be used in identifying the choriocarcinoma component. (Source: Urology Annals)

Characteristics of renal cell carcinoma in Saudi patients below the age of 50 years
Conclusion: RCC increases after the age of 40–50 years in the presence of other risk factors. Chromophobe represented almost a quarter percentage of the pathology, while partial nephrectomy yielded a better outcome. (Source: Urology Annals)

Role of inflammatory markers and their trends in predicting the outcome of medical expulsive therapy for distal ureteric calculus
Conclusions: Higher CRP and larger stone size were associated with failure of MET. WC and NP showed decreasing trend in stone passers and persistently higher in nonpassers, which may potentially predict failure of MET, however, their role need to be further studied. (Source: Urology Annals)

Does ureteral access sheath have an impact on ureteral injury ?
Conclusion: Summary of studies' results indicate that use of ureteral access sheath doesn't increase ureteral injury. This review may help understanding safety profile of ureteral access sheath on evidence-based level. There is not enough data to make a statement that ureteral access sheath prevents ureteral injury.

Linitis plastica of the rectum secondary to metastatic prostate cancer: A case report of a rare presentation and literature review
We report the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with altered bowel habit and loss of weight, with elevated prostate-specific antigen of 180.6 ng/mL. Sigmoidoscopy showed thickened rectal mucosa, and biopsy was negative for malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed circumferential wall thickening, “target sign” appearance suggestive of RLP, PIRADS 5 lesion with extraprostatic extension, infiltrating bilateral seminal vesicles, and right neurovascular bundle. Repeat colonoscopy was performed under anesthesia, and deeper biopsy revealed poorly differentiated metastatic prostate adenocarcino...

Myiasis (maggots) around nephrostomy tube
We report a case of myiasis around a recently placed nephrostomy tube. A 55-year-old male farmer from a rural area underwent right percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The procedure was terminated because of bradycardia and arrhythmia. There were residual calculi. A nephrostomy was kept. His relook nephroscopy was planned, but he was not willing. Hence, he was discharged with an indwelling nephrostomy tube. Two weeks later, he presented with severe pain around the right nephrostomy tube with surrounding pruritus. The wound hygiene was poor. He was found to have maggots around the nephrostomy tube. These were treated by local inst...

Primary clear cell adenocarcinoma of prostate: A diagnostic challenge
We reported a 44-year-old male patient who suffered from recurrent dysuria and frequency for 6 months. Transurethral resection of the prostate was performed to relieve bladder outlet obstruction. However, CCA of the prostate was confirmed through pathological examination. A thorough checkup was performed to distinguish it from metastatic clear cell carcinoma from other primary origins. Currently, no consensus for the treatment of CCA of the prostate has been reached. After discussing with the patient, he decided to receive immunotherapy with pembrolizumab. Herein, we reported this rare case of CCA in the prostate. (Source: Urology Annals)

Traumatic testicular torsion: A call to look beyond the obvious
Friday Emeakpor OgbetereUrology Annals 2021 13(4):431-433
Blunt scrotal trauma results in different forms of injuries such as hematoma, rupture of the testis, and testicular torsion. The diagnosis of trauma-induced testicular torsion in patients with blunt scrotal trauma requires a high index of suspicion. As early diagnosis and management of traumatic testicular torsion obviate testicular losses, an urgent testicular scan is necessary in cases of suspected traumatic torsion, and if not readily available or indeterminate, scrotal exploration is promptly indicated. Reported herein is a case of traumatic testicular torsion ...

Comparing adverse effects, short term outcomes, and cost implications of hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy with Mitomycin-C and intravesical bacillus Calmette & #8211;Guerin instillation (Moscow-I strain) in the management of intermediate and high-risk nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer
Conclusions: HIVEC with MMC is a reasonable adjuvant treatment option in NMIBC, which is well tolerated, albeit increased cost of the treatment. Randomized trials with more follow-up are required for further conclusion. (Source: Urology Annals)

High rates of advanced prostate cancer in the Middle East: Analysis from a tertiary care center
Conclusion: This is the first report showing the high proportion of men from ME presenting with de novo metastasis. This could be due to many factors, including the highly variable access to specialist multidisciplinary management, lack of awareness, and lack of PSA screening in the region. There is a clear need to raise the awareness about prostate cancer screening and early detection and to address the rising burden of advanced prostate cancer affecting men in the ME region.

Laparoscopy training status in India and a review of the current resident skill standards

Pediatric urology surgical practice in the time of COVID-19: Results from tertiary Saudi Arabia hospitals
Conclusions: In KSA, the number of elective pediatric surgical procedures were reduced by >90%, while the number of emergency pediatric surgical procdures were similar during COVID-19 pandemic compared with non-COVID-19 time. Ureteric reimplantation, hypospadias repair, cryptorchidism, and circumcision procedures were postponed. Pyeloplasty and urolithiasis-related procedures were performed to prevent irreversible disease progression or organ damage. There was an increase in rate of teleclinic and day surgery to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection. (Source: Urology Annals)
