Semiquantitative Tissue Perfusion Assessment Using Indocyanine Green in Complex Open Urethral Reconstruction
Current assessment of critical tissue in genitourinary reconstruction, including graft beds and tissue flaps, primarily relies upon qualitative visual and tactile assessment by experienced surgeons. Here we explore the feasibility of using intravenous indocyanine green (ICG) for semiquantitative assessment of perfusion in complex open urethral reconstruction. (Source: Urology)

Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Removal of Mid-Urethral Mesh Slings Eroded into the Bladder
Depending on the indication, there are multiple surgical approaches for the removal of mid-urethral mesh slings (MUS): transvaginal, endoscopic, open abdominal, and robotic. Here, we demonstrate the robotic approach to treat MUS that have eroded into the bladder. The robotic approach offers excellent exposure, visualization, and accessibility. Compared to endoscopic approaches, the entire arm of the sling can be removed from the bladder wall, the bladder repaired, and the foreign body completely eliminated. (Source: Urology)

Emerging Technologies and Diagnostics at the Gold Journal
Urology has historically been at the forefront of developing and adopting new technologies and diagnostics. This tradition of innovation continues as we delve into the realms of genomics, advanced engineering, and artificial intelligence (AI). These areas are not only redefining our understanding and management of urological conditions but also paving the way for groundbreaking approaches to patient care. Recognizing this evolving landscape, the Gold Journal is proud to introduce a new section titled “Emerging Technologies and Diagnostics,” encompassing genomics, technology and engineering, and AI.
