The authors describe a well-constructed clinical trial and conclude that there is no statistically significant difference in infection rates between TPBx and TRBx. However, several points concerning the...

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is considered a size-independent technique to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. This safe and effective procedure is increasingly being adopted in urology training programs worldwide, yet limited teaching strategies have been described. Endoscopic handling during HoLEP allows for a simultaneous interaction between the surgeon and trainee, facilitating a guided teach...

Our study identified more pronounced changes in IPSS total, IPSS voiding, and prostate-specific antigens within the UR group. Moreover, the rate of postoperative UR in this group was not higher than that observed in the non-UR group. Our study also revealed that the presumed benefits of laser surgery in reducing blo...

Conclusion : In conclusion, adolescents with type 1 diabetes, as well as healthy adolescents, frequently experience urological symptoms. Although urological abnormalities were not significantly more frequent in adolescents with diabetes in this study, the focus on nocturia and risk for bladder dysfunction seems relevant, even in adolescents without any other tests indicating autonomic dysfunction.
