Testicular fibroma: A case report and literature review
Amal M Algarni, Noor Nabi Junejo, Sultan S Alkhateeb, Turki Omar Al-HussainUrology Annals 2021 13(3):308-311 Sex cord-stromal tumors are the second most common testicular tumors after germ cell tumors. They account for about 2%–5% of adult testicular tumors. Most of these tumors are benign. The most common sex cord-stromal tumor is Leydig cell tumor. In contrast, testicular fibroma is a very rare type of sex cord-stromal tumors.

Subtotal vesical necrosis as a result of infected traumatic bladder hematoma: A rare case with a literature review of bladder necrosis due to hematoma
We report such a case following blunt abdominal injury. The urologic presentation was delayed hematuria which settled with conservative management but was followed by the development of urosepsis. Computed tomography scan showed full bladder due to long-standing liquified bladder hematoma. Suprapubic exploration revealed a bladder wall abscess which was drained (secondarily infected hematoma). Excision of the subtotal necrotic bladder and ileal conduit with left ureteroileal anastomosis was done later. The patient also had a simultaneous right renal and ureteric injury as an independent simultaneous event which required in...

Cutoff level of prostate volume to predict the efficacy of & #945;1-D/A adrenoceptor antagonist, naftopidil
Conclusions: PV at baseline was one of the predictive factors which affected the efficacy of NAF for IPSS-VS, and LUTS/BPH patients who had PV more than 37.3 mL indicated poor improvement of IPSS-VS, even if IPSS-TS was improved. (Source: Urology Annals)

Effect of bladder cancer variant histology on survival outcome in patients treated with radical cystectomy: A single-centre experience
Conclusions: The present study did not reveal prognostic effect of VH on RFS and OS. In our series, histomorphologic parameters including lymphovascular invasion, resection margins, and pelvic lymph node metastasis were the most relevant predictors on survival outcome after RC.

Outcome of conservative and minimally invasive management in emphysematous pyelonephritis
Conclusion: EPN patients are mostly moribund with multiple comorbidities. It is vital to comprehend the management with a prompt CT imaging. Proactive hemodynamic stabilization, antimicrobial therapy, complementing it with DJ stenting and/or PCN in cases not responding to antibiotics alone, can treat most of the patients with this pathology.

Survey of Saudi urology program directors: What do you look for in a candidate ?
Conclusion: Performance during rotations has been shown in our and other studies to be one of the most important factors in an application. Surveying PD on what they value the most in an applicant, provides valuable information and more transparency regarding the match processes. We also recommend that our colleagues from different specialties conduct similar studies. (Source: Urology Annals)

Knowledge, attitudes, and perception patterns of contraception methods: Cross-sectional study among Saudi males
Conclusions: Younger age, shorter duration of marriage, governmental employee, less number of children, higher education degree, and higher monthly income had higher impact on contraception awareness and utilization. Couples still prefer noninvasive methods for contraception. Despite the relatively low use of contraceptive methods, particularly the male methods, the majority of the participants know about contraception. Efforts to advocate and promote the effective use of reproductive and sexual health services among newly married couples are warranted. (Source: Urology Annals)
