Differences in the percutaneous nephrolithotomy practice patterns among Latin American urologists with and without endourology training

International Brazilian Journal of Urology
Purpose: Although the worldwide percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) practice pat- terns determined via a survey sent to members of the Endourological Society have been published, differences in PCNL practice patterns among Latin American urologists based

Outcomes of Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate in Patients with Chronic Painless Urinary Retention and Postvoid Residual Urine ≥ 1‐l: A Critical Evaluation at the Extreme Ends of the Spectrum

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 486-493, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Chronic painless urine retention (CUR) with > 1 liter of postvoid residual urine (PVR) is a rare but serious complication of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of HoLEP in men with chronic painless urinary retention and PVR volumes exceeding 1 l. Methods We retrospectively reviewed data from

Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: what size stone particles can be cleared?

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S71-S77, March 2026.
Objectives To perform benchtop experiments on flexible and navigable suction (FANS) ureteric access sheaths (UASs) to determine the clearance capabilities for various stone sizes when paired with different‐sized ureteroscopes. Methods Quartz stones were used as a surrogate for renal stones.

Experimental stone clearance with in‐scope suction and flexible and navigable suction access sheaths

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S45-S52, March 2026.
Objective To perform benchtop experiments using direct in‐scope suction (DISS) ureteroscopes (Pusen Medical, Zhuhai, China; 3.6‐Ch and 5.1‐Ch working channels) and flexible and navigable suction (FANS) ureteric access sheaths (ClearPetra; Wellead, Guangzhou, China) to establish their ability to clear stones of different diameters.

Flexible and navigable suction access sheaths: balancing sheath and scope size for desired flows

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S60-S70, March 2026.
Objective To study the effects of ureteroscope diameter, ‘flexible and navigable suction’ access sheaths (FANS) diameter, and irrigation pressure on intrarenal pressure (IRP) and irrigation fluid flow rates in ex vivo porcine kidneys; these benchtop data were compared against mathematical modelling results.

Direct in‐scope suction (DISS) ureteroscopy: techniques, outcomes and future directions

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue S3, Page S19-S28, March 2026.
Objective To provide an overview of direct in‐scope suction (DISS) ureteroscopy, an emerging technology that integrates suction directly into the ureteroscope with the aim of enhancing stone clearance, improving visualisation, and reducing intrarenal pressure during ureteroscopic stone surgery.

The role of 5‐alpha reductase inhibitors in transurethral resection of the prostate: a meta‐analysis of randomised controlled trials

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue 3, Page 430-443, March 2026.
Objective To critically evaluate the existing evidence base surrounding the efficacy of preoperative 5‐alpha reductase inhibitor (5ARI) administration in the reduction of perioperative complication rates in transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Methods In April 2025, a systematic search of on‐line databases was conducted to identify randomised ...

Elective flexible ureteroscopy with suction sheaths for infectious stones in prior UTI patients

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Objective This study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and clinical outcomes of elective flexible ureteroscopy using flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS) in patients with upper tract infectious stones following initial management of systemic urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The effect of negative, single and multi‐organism positive cultures on outcomes following PCNL

BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Objective This study aims to explore risk factors related to positive single and multi‐organism stone cultures and their association with postoperative complications in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Subjects/Patients and Methods A retrospective review was performed on 293 PCNL patients with stone cultures at a single

Laparoscopic Bilateral Nerve‐Sparing Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection for Testicular Cancer After Chemotherapy

International Journal of Urology, Volume 33, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Nerve‐sparing techniques are commonly used in retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) for patients with testicular cancer to preserve postoperative ejaculation. Laparoscopic RPLND is applicable to small residual masses; however, nerve‐sparing techniques remain challenging.
