Author response to Editorial comment
We appreciate the editorial comment from Drs. Villanueva-Congote and Eisner regarding our findings. Certainly, we agree that health care access is a significant issue among our urologic patients and one that warrants ongoing assessment and evaluation with the goal of systems-level changes for improvement.

Definition of Benign Ureteroenteric Anastomotic Strictures in Ileal Conduits After Radical Cystectomy: Experience From a Single Center and Previously Published Literature (#URL-D-23-01862R1)
In this publication, Brandt et al retrospectively reviewed benign ureteroileal stricture (UES) incidence, treatments, and outcomes in their single institution after radical cystectomy with ileal conduit. The authors astutely point out that there is not a consistent definition of UES in the literature. They have elected to use a broad definition to capture UES through imaging (pyelography or CT scan) and renal function decline (renography, creatinine, or clinical symptoms). Notably, the definition does not exclude UES if there is renal dysfunction from other causes such as chemotherapy. (Source: Urology)

Advancing Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate Outcomes Reporting: An Assessment of Patient-Reported Outcomes in the Literature
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a size independent option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgical management. Since lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a quality-of-life issue, studies should prioritize patient reported outcomes (PROs). This HoLEP review assesses PROs inclusion in the top 20 cited HoLEP studies and defines their limitations. PROs were categorized by domain: LUTS, incontinence, sexual function, pain, hematuria, and patient satisfaction. On review, no top cited study included all PRO domains. (Source: Urology)

Society of Urologic Prosthetic Surgeons' Coding and Billing Position Statement on Ancillary/Adjunct Penile Prosthesis Surgical Procedures: Part I
To create a society position statement on common adjunct penile prosthesis (PP) procedures. While the Medicare Current Procedural Terminology code book lists descriptions of procedures, it is very brief and lacks detail in the small subspecialty of prosthetic urology. At educational/research meetings, wide variation was found in how experts in prosthetic urology code the same procedures, and need for a standardized format in billing common ancillary surgery was voiced.
