New and emerging frontiers in penile prosthesis microbiome research
Inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation is the gold standard surgical treatment for erectile dysfunction refractory to more conservative treatments. While infection of IPPs is a rare, but devastating, complication requiring device explant, devices may also be explanted for other indications including mechanical failure and pain. Although it was traditionally thought that any device biofilm leads to clinical infection1,2, recent work has confirmed the presence of biofilms on nearly all devices, even those without traditional signs of infection.

Unusual Management of Fecal Impaction in an Adult with Functional Constipation: A Urological Adventure
A 27-year-old male with a history of functional constipation presented for ileostomy closure. He had a 12-cm impacted rectal stool ball precluding safe ileostomy takedown. He underwent multiple unsuccessful attempts at removal including colotomy, antegrade and retrograde enemas and manual disimpaction. The urological team suggested a novel approach using lithotripsy. A 26-French rigid nephroscope and the Olympus ShockPulse SE ultrasonic lithotripter was utilized transanally to break up the impacted stool ball. (Source: Urology)

Hydronephrosis as a late complication of ProACT implantation
An 83-year-old male was referred to the urology clinic because of acute kidney failure and perineal pain and urinary urgency. The patient was treated in 2009 with implantation of an adjustable continence therapy device (ProACT ™, Uromedica), because of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after radical prostatectomy (RP)1,2. The procedure was performed with TRUS guidance under local anaesthesia3. At the admission, the patient referred perineal and left flank pain. Serum creatinine level was 1.45 mg/dL. (Source: Urology)

Editorial Comment
Health policy decisions are often viewed from a high-level or population perspective, but the implications and effects on individuals can be substantial. The recent US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women ’s Health Organization to strike down protections enacted decades ago in the Roe v. Wade ruling have had far-reaching implications for health care in the United States. Beyond the obvious changes in access to abortion services, the ruling will impact family planning services, access to contracepti on, and other aspects of women’s reproductive health.
