Penoscrotal lymphedema is a manifestation of disrupted lymphatic drainage, causing a significant increase in scrotal volume. impacting both aesthetics and quality of life. Elephantiasis, classified as stage III by the International Society of Lymphology, represents the advanced stage of scrotal lymphedema, often linked to parasitic diseases. The diagnosis is clinical, and the treatment involves mass excision. The lymphatic reconstruction is an innovative therapeutic approach that improves postoperative results and better quality of life...

Urology continues its development in minimally invasive surgery, and the year 2023 is marked by important innovations in the different approaches such as endoscopy, laparoscopy, and open surgery. The following innovations are instruments or medical devices which are still being evaluated. What they have in common is a questioning of our current practices, on the technical side but also for some of them on the ecological vision of our profession with the eternal debate of single use or reusable. Even if the evaluation of new devices is primarily medical and medico-economic, it is actually no longer possible to ignore the ecological aspect and the impact on the environment of the various new products...

Identification of clinically positive pelvic lymph node metastases (cN+) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer is currently challenging, as the diagnostic accuracy of available imaging modalities is limited. Conventional CT is still considered the gold-standard approach to diagnose lymph node metastases in these patients. The development of innovative diagnostic methods including radiomics, artificial intelligence-based models and molecular biomarkers might offer new perspectives for the diagnosis of cN+ disease...

BACKGROUND: Risk of kidney stone recurrence can be reduced by increasing fluid intake and urine production but most patients fail to adhere to recommended clinical guidelines. Patients have indicated that common barriers to fluid intake include a lack of thirst, forgetting to drink, and not having access to water. We developed the sipIT intervention to support patients' fluid intake with semi-automated tracking (via a mobile app, connected water bottle and a smartwatch clockface that detects drinking gestures) and provision of just-in-time text message reminders to drink when they do not meet the hourly fluid intake goal needed to achieve the recommended volume...

The history of botulinum toxin dates back to the late 1700s, when food preparation, storage, and later canning practices led to outbreaks of botulism across Europe and the United States. It is from these initial incidents that the remarkable discovery of botulinum toxin was eventually made, sparking over 200 years of further scientific inquiry and medical innovation. To date, 6 botulinum toxin products have been commercialized in North America with numerous indications across the specialties of ophthalmology, neurology, urology, dermatology, plastic surgery, and otolaryngology...

Lower urinary tract dysfunction not only interferes with the health-related quality of life of patients but may also lead to acute kidney injury and infections. To assess the bladder, urodynamic studies (UDS) have been implemented but the use of catheters leads to discomfort for the patient. Catheter-free long-term UDS would be useful and a potential solution could be ambulatory wireless devices that communicate via telemetry. Such sensors can detect pressure or volume. Numerous types of potential catheter-free sensors have been proposed for bladder monitoring...

Bladder cancer (BC) stands as one of the most prevalent urological malignancies, with over 500 thousand newly diagnosed cases annually. Treatment decisions in BC depend on factors like the risk of recurrence, the type of tumor, and the stage of the disease. While standard therapeutic approaches encompass transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, radical cystectomy, and chemo- or immunotherapy, these methods exhibit limited efficacy in mitigating the aggressive and recurrent nature of bladder tumors. To overcome this challenge, it is crucial to develop innovative methods for monitoring and predicting treatment responses among patients with BC...

Fluorescence confocal microscopy (FCM) represents a novel diagnostic technique able to provide real-time histological images from non-fixed specimens. As a consequence of its recent developments, FCM is gaining growing popularity in urological practice. Nevertheless, evidence is still sparse, and, at the moment, its applications are heterogeneous. We performed a narrative review of the current literature on this topic. Papers were selected from the Pubmed, Embase, and Medline archives. We focused on FCM applications in prostate cancer (PCa), urothelial carcinoma (UC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC)...

We present a case of medication-induced priapism that was refractory to conventional urologic methods and required treatment with a caverno-saphenous bypass. The patient had been misusing an injectable erectile dysfunction medication consisting of alprostadil, papaverine, and phentolamine (Trimix), resulting in multiple episodes of priapism. His initial episodes of priapism were successfully treated with the traditional urologic algorithm, including phenylephrine, aspiration, and distal shunting. However, due to his continued medication misuse, these became ineffective, requiring proximal shunt surgery...
