Editorial Comment on “Design, development and validation of a first, low-cost, three-dimensional (3D) printed optical urethrotomy simulation model”.
The authors describe their design of a training model for optical internal urethrotomy (OIU) as well their initial results. We applaud the authors for their novel design and production of this model. In particular, the use of a re-usable base with low-cost, exchangeable, stricture component is important to its possible implementation in training programs. The ability to tension the stricture with varied rigidity adds additional clinical utility. The authors recognize the interesting predicament of trainees having limited exposure to commonly performed procedures while in training. (Source: Urology)

Reply to Letter to the Editor on “Predictors of Early Continence after Single-Port Transvesical Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy”
We appreciate the authors' Editorial Letter and concur with their comments regarding the continued minimalization of surgical invasiveness. We endorse the highlighted benefits of the single-port (SP) transvesical (TV) approach, notably its one incision, extraperitoneal surgical access, preservation of surrounding structures, minimal postoperative pain and opioid usage, and short hospital stays. In terms of functional outcomes post SP TV robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), we emphasize the marked improvement in urinary control, a benefit thus far associated solely with the multi-port (MP) retropubic-space-sparing (...

Diagnosis of Pediatric Appendicovesical Fistula by Contrast-enhanced Ultrasound: A Case Report
We reported a pediatric case of appendicovesical fistula that remained undiagnosed by non-contrast CT, fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography (VCUG). Although the bladder orifice was identified during cystoscopy, its connection to the fistula site could not be determined. However, the trans-vesical contrast-enhanced ultrasound clearly demonstrated the presence of fistula. (Source: Urology)

Editorial Comment on "Urethral outcomes of the labia minora ring flap for metoidioplasty and phalloplasty"
The authors present their experience performing a standardized labia minora ring flap for urethral lengthening during metoidioplasty and phalloplasty. The overall volume (n=311) was impressive, and rates of urethral stricture were low (6% for metoidioplasty and 18% for phalloplasty). When considering alternative approaches to urethral lengthening, one should consider the complexity of the reconstruction (e.g. more dissection/mobilization/suture lines) with the goals of the procedure and risks of complications.
