Proactive wellness initiatives involve providing access to health resources as well as social programming. Ensuring resident safety requires minimizing physical and psychological mistreatment while ensuring access to basic needs. Formal mentorship strengthens professional growth and personal fulfilment. Advancing resident education through structured learning models and access to key resources improves wellbeing. Institutional traditions build camaraderie, unity, and a shared sense of purpose.

Advances in reconstructive techniques accelerate wound healing and shorten hospital stays. Optimized wound management-integrating antimicrobial solutions, negative pressure therapy, and targeted antibiotics-continues to improve recovery while minimizing morbidity and mortality. Modern Fournier's management prioritizes early recognition, tissue preservation, and early genital reconstruction.

This review aims to evaluate the latest advancements in PSMA PET imaging, assess its clinical applications in various disease stages, and compare it to conventional imaging techniques. We sought to determine how PSMA PET impacts clinical decision-making, treatment strategies, and patient outcomes, with a focus on its expanding role in precision oncology.Recent findings: Recent studies have demonstrated that PSMA PET exhibits superior sensitivity and specificity in detecting prostate cancer metastases, particularly in cases of biochemical recurrence and early-stage disease. The advent of radiolabeled PSMA ligands, such as 68Ga-PSMA-11 and 18 F-DCFPyL, has led to improved diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, PSMA-targeted radioligand therapies (e.g., 177Lu-PSMA-617) show promising results in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), offering a novel therapeutic avenue. Studies have also highlighted the role of PSMA PET in refining treatment plans, including guiding surgery and radiotherapy. PSMA PET imaging represents a paradigm shift in prostate cancer diagnostics, staging, and treatment monitoring. It has led to earlier and more accurate detection of metastases, significantly altering management strategies. The growing body of evidence supports its integration into standard-of-care protocols, with ongoing research focusing on optimizing its therapeutic applications. Future studies should explore cost-effectiveness, accessibility, and potential synergies with emerging systemic therapies to further enhance patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"26 1","pages":"46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12126340/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TXA has been proven to be useful in reducing bleeding complications in multiple types of surgery. In this article, we will review the current usage of TXA in endoscopic surgeries for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Recent findings: The use of TXA for endoscopic BPH surgeries has mainly been studied for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). In the clinical trials assessing the use of TXA and TURP, TXA demonstrated reduced intraoperative bleeding independent of administration route. However, this did not consistently translate to reduced hospitalization or catheterization times. Evidence for the use of TXA and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has begun to emerge, and to date limited benefit has been demonstrated. This result is likely due to the excellent innate hemostatic control associated with the procedure. However, further studies are required to validate these findings. With recent innovation in new types of endoscopic BPH surgeries, the benefit of TXA during other types of BPH procedures also require more study. Within the context of endoscopic surgeries for BPH, TXA appears to have the most benefit when performing TURP. More evidence is required to conclude on the benefit in other types of BPH surgery including HoLEP.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"26 1","pages":"43"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12085388/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
