[<span>3</span>], who illustrated a pyelostomy rather than a nephrostomy in Fig. 2 of their 1955 article, should be commended for their non-papillary puncture.</p>\u0000<p>From the contemporary first accounts of ‘experience with a central, noncalyceal puncture protocol for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy’ [<span>4</span>] in 2017, a myth has persisted that has carried through to all subsequent studies on the subject, including the study by Lotfi et al. [<span>1</span>], that the ‘Current understanding of anatomical background of percutaneous access is based mostly on the very extensive documentation by Sampaio’ [<span>4</span>].</p>\u0000<p>By the time of Sampaio's publications, 15 years after the introduction of endoscopic PNL in the late 1970s, several thousand PNLs had probably been performed worldwide based on the transpapillary principle. The first instruments specifically designed in 1980 for endoscopically controlled PNL [<span>2</span>] followed two principles: Access through the least vascularised part of the parenchyma and access with the nephrosocpe into the collecting system at the point where it is connected to the parenchyma, i.e. the collecting system itself should not be injured. The aim was to avoid vascular trauma and extravasation and also to reach even the most peripherally located calyceal stone.</p>\u0000<p>This was the reversal of the least traumatic way to place a nephrostomy tube into the collecting system from the point of view of a urologist influenced by having previously performed open surgery. In the times of open surgery, a forceps was pushed transpapillary from the calyx, an anatomically preformed tract, to the surface of the kidney in order to pull the nephrostomy tube into the collecting system. In the late 1960s, John Wickham [<span>5</span>] added the open transpapillary avascular multiple radial nephrotomies technique for the removal of staghorn calculi to this decades-old transpapillary technique. This was later refined by a team at the University of Mainz, who performed staghorn surgery without clamping the renal artery, utilising only transpapillary access.</p>\u0000<p>In PNL, I have not always hit the mark with a perfect transpapillary approach when carrying out PNL, but was sometimes happy simply to obtain access (Fig. 1). In one of his many articles on open stone surgery, Wickham described ‘Large venous anastomoses … like collars around the calyceal necks.’ In my experience and that of others (Tursunkulov AN, Akfamedline University Hospital, Central Asian University, Tashkent; personal communication), this description fits the annoying venous oozing frequently observed behind the nephroscope when using the non-papillary access method, whi","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"136 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143832018","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}

Initially endorsed by European and British guidelines in 2019 [<span>2, 3</span>] and subsequently reflected in the major North American guidelines [<span>4, 5</span>], this approach is supported by Level-1 evidence showing MRI reduces unnecessary biopsies in patients without MRI-identified suspicious lesions, while maintaining acceptable detection rates for clinically significant PCa (csPCa). These guidelines also recommend MRI for eligibility assessment and subsequent follow-up of patients with PCa on active surveillance (AS), a management strategy with increasing global uptake [<span>6</span>].</p>\u0000<p>In October 2014, our centre was among the first to implement dedicated MRI-driven diagnostic and AS programmes.

Data were analysed from all patients undergoing pre-biopsy prostate MRI during a 10-year period (October 2014 to October 2024) (Fig. 1A). csPCa was defined as biopsy-confirmed Grade Group (GG) ≥2 disease. Patients who commenced AS in our centre over the same period and had ≥12 months of follow-up were also included (Fig. 1D). AS misclassification was recorded if a patient showed either radiological progression to ≥rT3 stage or histological progression to GG ≥3 disease within 12 months of AS enrolment. Considering the COVID-19 disruption to imaging services, two observation periods were defined: pre-pandemic (Years 1–5) and post-pandemic (Years 7–10), with the latter also reflecting the impact of the 2019 national guidance recommending the omission of biopsies in patients without MRI-visible disease [<span>3</span>]. A two-sample <i>z</i>-test for proportions was used to compare the relevant csPCa diagnosis and AS progression rates between these two independent periods.</p>\u0000<figure><picture>\u0000<source media=\"(min-width: 1650px)\" srcset=\"/cms/asset/cf9e1b78-6715-472e-82db-f8e07ab86c76/bju16743-fig-0001-m.jpg\"/><img alt=\"Details are in the caption following the image\" data-lg-src=\"/cms/asset/cf9e1b78-6715-472e-82db-f8e07ab86c76/bju16743-fig-0001-m.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"/cms/asset/f6de0524-9867-4db5-8fcf-f364ff24e016/bju16743-fig-0001-m.png\" title=\"Details are in the caption following the image\"/></picture><figcaption>\u0000<div><strong>Fig. 1<span style=\"font-weight:normal\"></span></strong><div>Open in figure viewer<i aria-hidden=\"true","PeriodicalId":8985,"journal":{"name":"BJU International","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143827571","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}
