RECENT FINDINGS: Holmium and Thulium Fiber laser are the two main energy sources in the current clinical practice. The latter may have superior properties, but more clinical studies are needed to formally establish this. Laser injury to urothelium is more dependent on user experience rather than laser type. Smaller laser fibres allow for lower intra-renal temperature profiles. Operators should pay close attention to laser technique including maintaining the safety distance concept and only firing the laser when tip is clearly in view. When adjusting laser settings, pay close attention to resultant power given the associated heat changes. Prolonged periods of laser activation are to be avoided for the same reason. Outflow can be manipulated such as with access sheath to mitigate temperature and pressure changes. There is still limited evidence to support the mandate for compulsory use of eye protection wear during laser lithotripsy. Lasers are the gold standard energy source for stone lithotripsy. However, the safe clinical application of this technology requires an understanding of core principles as well as awareness of the safety and technical aspects that can help in protecting patient, surgeon and operating staff.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"24 9","pages":"409-415"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10449946/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10453040","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}

While the technique is becoming increasingly popular with patients and interventional radiologists, most urologists remain skeptical of the PAE's long-term efficacy and comparative success to the gold standard transurethral resection of the prostate.Recent findings: PAE has been found in multiple meta-analyses to perform similarly to the gold standard transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with regard to patient-driven measures like IPSS and IPSS-QoL, while also performing favorably in objective measurements including Qmax and PVR out to at least 12 months post intervention. Furthermore, PAE has a demonstrated shorter hospital length of stay and fewer adverse events when compared to TURP. PAE provides patients with an alternative to transurethral options for the management of LUTS in the setting of bladder outlet obstruction. While long-term evidence demonstrating the durability of PAE is still forthcoming, the procedure has been demonstrated to be safe according to multiple meta-analyses. Patients deserve to be counseled on PAE as an alternative to surgery and made aware that while the overall treatment effect may not be as robust or durable, the procedure carries a favorable adverse event profile that is attractive to patients wishing to avoid a trans-urethral approach.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"24 9","pages":"427-441"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10133279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twelve studies met the eligibility criteria, of which 4 analysed outcomes of SWL, 2 of URS and 3 of PCNL and 3 focused on the effect of either alkalising agents (potassium citrate, citric acid) or cysteine-binding thiol (CBT) agents (tiopronin, penicillamine). The reported SFR in studies ranged from 50 to 83%, 59 to 100% and 63 to 80.6%, with a complication rate of 2.8-51%, 14-27% and 12.9-15.4% with SWL, URS and PCNL, respectively. Paediatric cystine stones treatment should aim at complete stone clearance, preservation of renal function and prevention of further recurrences. SWL achieves inferior results in case of cystine stones. URS and PCNL are safe and effective procedures in the paediatric population, with a low rate of major complications.

Dissolution therapy plays a valuable role in the conservative management of UA calculi, reducing the requirement for surgical intervention. This review summarises the existing evidence for the efficacy of medical dissolution of uric acid urolithiasis.Recent findings: A systematic search was conducted of worldwide literature according to PRISMA methodology and Cochrane standards for systematic review. Studies were included if they reported outcome data for the administration of medical therapy for the dissolution of UA calculi. A total of 1075 patients were included in the systematic review. Complete or partial dissolution of UA calculi was observed in 80.5% of patients (865/1075 patients), with 61.7% (647/1048 patients) achieving complete dissolution and 19.8% (207/1048 patients) achieving partial dissolution. A discontinuation rate of 10.2% (110/1075 patients) was noted, and 15.7% (169/1075 patients) required surgical intervention. Dissolution therapy is a safe and effective method of conservatively managing uric acid stones in the short term. Despite the significant disease burden of UA calculi, current guidelines are limited by deficiencies in the existing body of research. Further research should be undertaken to develop evidence-based clinical guidelines for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of UA urolithiasis.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"24 8","pages":"355-363"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9943569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The urodynamic study (UDS) is the gold standard for assessing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) which is the best predictor of surgical success. Yet, it is not recommended by our urologic societies as standard testing prior to surgery. In this narrative review of the literature, we report recent findings and controversies regarding the benefits and downside of UDS, and the use of other less-invasive approaches to achieve this goal. The lack of strong evidence for or against performing UDS was surprising. Prospective UDS data may not predict surgical outcomes if there is no consensus on criteria that directs surgical intervention. However, confirming the presence of BOO and characterizing the bladder function to identify detrusor over- and underactivity may help counselling and setting patient's post-operative expectations. Urocuff, a non-invasive testing offers promising results to address this problem with a less-invasive assessment of BOO. We emphasize better pre-operative characterization of patients to confirm BOO and better define subgroups to improve surgical decision-making.","PeriodicalId":11112,"journal":{"name":"Current Urology Reports","volume":"24 8","pages":"401-407"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9944514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
