Objective To compare transurethral resection in saline (TURIS), Greenlight laser vapo‐enucleation of the prostate (GL.PVEP), and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), for controlling lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to assess non‐inferiority of 3‐year re‐treatment rates. Patients and Methods Eligible patients with BPH (prostate size 80–150 mL) were […]

Abstract Objectives To prospectively evaluate the performance of a prespecified statistical model based on four kallikrein markers in blood (total prostate‐specific antigen [PSA], free PSA, intact PSA, and human kallikrein‐related peptidase 2[hK2]), commercially available as the 4Kscore, in predicting Gleason grade group (GG) ≥2 prostate cancer at biopsy in an international multi‐center study at three […]

Abstract Objective To improve endoscopic recognition of the most frequently encountered kidney stone morphologies for a better etiological approach in lithiasis by urologists. Materials and methods An expert urologist intra‐operatively and prospectively (between June 2015 and June 2018) examined the surface, the section and the nucleus of all encountered kidney stones. Fragmented stones were subsequently […]

Abstract Background Erectile dysfunction, a common problem in men, has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying data are partly contradictory and the strength and mechanism of the association between erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases have not been fully clarified. Objectives The aim of this umbrella review is to present an […]
