Transperineal prostate biopsy (TPBx) allows for prostate cancer detection with fewer infectious complications when compared to transrectal prostate biopsy (TRUSBx). We evaluated the initial experience of a single physician with no prior TPBx exposure, compared to TRUSBx and MRI/US fusion biopsy (MRIBx) performed by experienced physicians.

All consecutive patients undergoing prostate biopsy (June 2019-March 2020) were included. Patient discomfort, procedural time, clinically significant cancer detection rates (csCDR) and 30-day complications were compared between TPBx, TRUSBx and MRIBx.

A total of 303 patients underwent biopsy. Comparing TPBx to TRUSBx to MRIBx, median pain scores during the anesthetic block were 4 versus 2 versus 3 (p = 0.007) respectively, and not statistically different during the rest of the procedure. Median time of biopsy was 11, 7.5 and 12 minutes respectively. csCDR were 38%, 29.8%, and 43.6% (p = 0.12) respectively. The combined transrectal groups (n = 211) had nine complications including two sepsis events. The TPBx group (n = 92) had no 30-day complications.

TPBx was well tolerated in the office setting with similar levels of discomfort for all aspects of the procedure compared to transrectal approach. Learning curve for TPBx showed rapid improvement in procedural time within the first 15 cases with an average procedure time of 9 minutes thereafter. Similar rates of csCDR were found between the groups and TPBx had significantly fewer infectious complications than standard transrectal technique.

To compare the surgical methods of Aquablation followed by selective hemostasis by bipolar cauterization with holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) with regard to the risk of perioperative bleeding complications.

A retrospective comparison was carried out on a total of 382 patients who had undergone either Aquablation (n = 167) or HoLEP (n = 215) at our hospital between April 2018 and July 2020. The following were studied Hb loss, the need for packed red blood cell transfusions and surgical revisions due to bleeding from the prostatic fossa.

Transfusions were not necessary in the Aquablation group, while one man who underwent HoLEP had to receive a transfusion. Revision surgery due to bleeding was necessary during the early postoperative course in 13.2% of Aquablations and in 9.8% of HoLEPs (statistically not significant; p = 0.329). Rimegepant The perioperative Hb loss was comparable in both entire collectives (Aquablation 1.37 +/- 1.13 mg/dL, HoLEP 1.22 +/- 1.03 mg/dL; statistically not significant; p = 0.353). For subgroup analysis the groups Aquablation and HoLEP were into three subgroups respectively according to sonographically determined preoperative prostate volume ('small' < 40 mL, 'medium' 41-80 mL, 'large' > 80 mL). There were no significant differences between the subgroups regarding need for transfusions and hematuria-related complications.

The rate of perioperative hematuria related complications of Aquablation with subsequent selective hemostasis equals those found after holmium laser enucleation.

There is no comprehensive study detailing these complications for urologic procedures. The primary aim of this study is to determine which urologic procedures and patients carry the highest risk of perioperative stroke and myocardial infarction.
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data set was reviewed from 2008-2017. Procedures coded under the urology specialty were included and patients who had a perioperative stroke or myocardial infarction were identified. CPTs were stratified into clinically relevant procedure groups. Two multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine preoperative and procedural risk factors for developing perioperative stroke or myocardial infarction. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between these complications and 30-day mortality.

A total of 281,744 cases were included, idePerioperative stroke and myocardial infarction were strongly associated with age ≥ 70, hypertension, and disseminated cancer.Darolutamide is a nonsteroidal androgen inhibitor FDA approved for the treatment of castration-resistant non-metastatic prostate cancer (nmCRPC). After decades of offering androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone or first-generation androgen receptor blockers for patients whose PSA was rising despite castrate levels of testosterone, there are now three different treatment options to add to ADT. These include apalutamide approved in February 2018, enzalutamide FDA approved in June 2018, and darolutamide approved July 2019. Each of these androgen receptor pathway blockers, when added to ADT or surgical orchiectomy, prolongs metastasis-free-survival (MFS) and median survival (MS). This paper focuses on the use of the newest approved agent in this class, darololutmide.Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are common hospital-acquired infections and remain a significant medical and financial challenge to the healthcare system. Despite this risk, incontinent women may require prolonged catheterization to accurately monitor urine output and prevent skin breakdown. The PureWick Female External Urinary Catheter is a promising non-invasive urine collection system for use in incontinent women that may help reduce CAUTI rates, maintain skin integrity, accurately quantify urine output, and avoid extra healthcare costs.
