Thematic analysis (TA) was used to identify themes present in the Instagram captions. Results: Across 1200 posts analyzed, 5 main themes were identified. 1) \"We can help…,\" this was largely commercial advertising with the promotion of healthcare clinics. 2) \"I'm suffering,\" which contained first-person narratives about an unpleasant experience with a disease or treatment as well as frustration at health services. 3)!\"Warning signs,\" posts describing signs or symptoms that the creator claims indicate poor health. 4)!\"Remedies,\" these posts detailed therapies to try, often herbal. 5) \"Avoid and change,\" which covered triggers to avoid symptom flare ups.

Various surgical methods exist to repair this condition, all aiming to create a straight penis, ensure proper placement of the meatus, and achieve a sufficient diameter for the urethra with optimal flow. Despite following precise surgical techniques, many patients in reported studies still experience complications. The aim was to evaluate and compare the surgical outcomes of distal hypospadias repair utilizing ventral versus dorsal Dartos flaps. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, patients who were candidates for surgical treatment were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Both groups underwent hypospadias repair using the tubularized incised plate (TIP) method. The first group received a ventral Dartos flap, while the second group received a dorsal Dartos flap for urethral recon struction. Patients were monitored for complications, and the Hypospadias Objective Scoring Evaluation (HOSE) questionnaire was used to assess the surgical outcomes. Results: The dorsal flap group had higher complication rates, including 3 fistulas (10%), 6 cases of mild necrosis (20%), 2 cases of severe necrosis (6.7%), and 4 instances of penile torsion (13.3%). The ventral flap group had 2 cases (6.7%) of postoperative bleeding and 2 fistulas (6.7%).

Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane were searched for studies published from January 2003 to August 2023. Sixteen (n = 612) and 15 (n = 568) studies were included in the review and meta-analysis, respectively. Risk of bias assessment was done using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. Four studies (n = 196) reported sexual health outcomes. Comprehensive meta-analysis software (trial version 3) was used for quantitative synthesis. Results: The success rate (95% CI) of vaginal repair of this specific group of VVF using a random effects model was 86.3% (76.5%-92.4%). I2 was 73.72% with a Q-value of 53.27. The mean age of patients was 43.7 years. Follow-up duration ranged from 1 to 84 months. There were no major intraoperative complications except for 1 inadvertent bowel injury. Postoperative complications included Urinary tract infections (n = 5), stress incontinence (n = 2), urge incontinence (n = 2), hematuria (n = 3), and vaginal bleeding (n = 3). One hundred eighty-four patients reported no sexual dysfunction, while 6 patients had a Female Sexual Function Index score ! 26.5. Conclusion: The studies included in this meta-analysis are largely heterogeneous and retrospective, which is a limitation of this meta-analysis. Despite this, the results of this meta-analysis confirm successful correction of most of the VVF included in this review by the transvaginal route. While preferences for a given surgical approach may vary based on the number and size of the VVF or vaginal capacity, these factors need to be studied prospectively to understand their role in deciding the route of repair.","PeriodicalId":101337,"journal":{"name":"Urology research & practice","volume":"51 3","pages":"117-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12257816/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144562540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1132 patients who underwent mini-ECIRS at 3 hospitals between January 2015 and December 2021. Patients were classified according to their PS (PS0-1 and PS2-4 groups) and compared between the groups in terms of preoperative drainage status, such as ureteral stent or percutaneous nephrostomy (PNS), stone characteristics, surgical outcomes, and postoperative fever. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify the predictive factors for postoperative fever in each PS group. Results: Patients in the PS2-4 group were older and had a higher stone burden than those in the PS0-1 group. The stone-free rates and surgical success rate were similar between the PS groups, but PS2-4 patients had higher rates of postoperative fever without preoperative drainage. Stone composition analysis revealed a higher prevalence of infectious stones in the PS2-4 group. In the PS0-1 group, PNS reduced postoperative fever risk (odds ratio (OR): 0.65, 95% CI: 0.48-0.89, P = .01), and history of febrile urinary tract infection, stone burden ! 30 mm, number of involved calyces ! 4, and female sex were independent risk factors.

This study evaluates a modified laparoscopic donor nephrectomy technique designed to minimize colon mobilization while optimizing visualization, thereby improving donor outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 250 consecutive living donor nephrectomies performed by a single surgeon between March 2022 and March 2024 was conducted. All donors underwent preoperative imaging (3D computed tomography and computed tomographic angiography). The modified approach avoided splenic flexure dissection and introduced early ligation of the adrenal vein. We analyzed intraoperative parameters (operative time, estimated blood loss, complications) and postoperative measures (hospital stay, pain scores, complication rates, satisfaction) were analyzed. Results: The mean operative time was 72.8 ± 16.2 minutes, with an estimated blood loss of 100 ± 40 mL. No conversions to open surgery or intraoperative transfusions were required. The mean length of hospital stay was 2.0 ± 1.0 days. Postoperative pain (mean Visual Analog Scale [VAS] 2.5 ± 1.8) was low, and major vascular injury occurred in 0.8% of cases. Wound infection and incisional hernia rates were each 0.8%. Patient satisfaction was high (Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire [PSQ] 3.3 ± 1.4), indicating favorable perceptions of comfort and outcomes. Conclusion: This modified laparoscopic donor nephrectomy technique is safe, effective, and associated with enhanced patient comfort and reduced complications. The findings underscore its potential to improve donor experiences, potentially expanding the living donor pool.

This is the first prospective study to compare pneumatic with thulium fiber laser (TFL) lithotripsy for ureteric stones during semirigid ureteroscopy. Methods: A prospective evaluation was conducted on 100 patients, divided into group A (50 patients) who underwent TFL lithotripsy and group B (50 patients) who underwent pneumatic lithotripsy for ureteric stones treated by ureteroscopy. Urine culture and plain computed tomography (CT) scan were done in all the patients. Intraoperative stone clearance was assessed by endoscopic inspection and fluoroscopic evaluation. Postoperative stone clearance was evaluated at 7 days and 3 months by sonography and plain x-ray. Those patients with persistent or increased hydroureteronephrosis were further evaluated by CT scan to detect residual fragments and/or ureteric strictures. Results: The stone size, volume, and HU were comparable in both the groups. The lithotripsy time with TFL was significantly longer compared to pneumatic (12.41 vs. 5.16 minutes). Intraoperatively, the vision was better with TFL as compared to the pneumatic group (2 vs. 10 patients). Retropulsion was significantly less with TFL com- pared to pneumatic lithotripsy (2 vs. 10 patients). The complications and the stone-free rates were comparable in both the groups. Conclusion: Thulium fiber laser has distinct advantage of better vision and less retropulsion compared to pneumatic lithotripsy. It is also a safer modality as compared to the conventional pneumatic lithotripsy during the treatment of ureteric stones with ureteroscopy.","PeriodicalId":101337,"journal":{"name":"Urology research & practice","volume":"51 2","pages":"60-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12208930/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144319125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
