Infectious complications following prostate biopsy are on the rise due to an increase in antimicrobial resistance, mainly against fluoroquinolones. The use of fluoroquinolones for perioperative prophylaxis is no longer approved by the national authorities in Germany. The EAU guideline group on urological infections has recently published a meta-analysis in two parts based on randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Read More

A widely used open access instrument for screening of internalising and externalising problem behaviour is the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). For the use of the SDQ in clinical practice, information about its differential validity and applicability for follow-up assessments is relevant. Therefore, the aim was to study the SDQ regarding differential stability in the repeatedly collected child, parent and teacher reports. Read More

Background: To the best of our knowledge, there is no validated classification to assess intraoperative adverse events (iAEs) in ophthalmic surgery. ClassIntra is a newly developed classification for surgery- and anaesthesia-related iAEs that has been recently validated in various surgical disciplines, but not in ophthalmic surgery. We aim to assess the validity and practicability of ClassIntra in patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery. Read More

Bladder carcinoma is a relatively rare tumour in women. The even rarer constellation of an invasive carcinoma or a high-risk situation when cystectomy is indicated requires adequate urinary diversion.The individual underlying circumstances of tumour and patient and the experience and preferences of the surgeon determine the choice of urinary diversion.

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a sporadic, life-threatening, necrotising infection affecting the perineum, perineal region and genitals. Published literature provides hints that the outcome of this disease has failed to improve in recent years. We have therefore performed a rapid evidence synthesis by searching the database MEDLINE.

The occurrence of distant metastases represents a prognostically unfavourable turning point in non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (M0CRPC). M0CRPC patients with a short PSA doubling time have a particularly high risk of progression. For a long time, there was no further treatment option for these patients apart from watchful waiting while maintaining classic androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Read More

Stress urinary incontinence in female patients is characterised by loss of urine without the need to urinate. Causes are manifold and require a good knowledge of the pelvic floor structures and the functionality of the bladder's occlusion system. Before any treatment can be initiated, differentiated diagnostic investigation must uncover the causes in order to be able to show incontinent women the ideal therapeutic options. Read More

Urethral strictures in women are rare and patients may present with varying symptoms. Hence, clinical guidelines regarding diagnostic algorithms and treatment approaches are scarce. Several small case series have presented results for several operative techniques, but patient cohorts are generally heterogeneous and relatively small, which hampers reliable comparability across institutions.

Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a cancer that mainly occurs in elderly patients. Percutaneous image-guided ablation of small RCC (< 4 cm) is a validated therapeutic option, especially as many patients are no candidates for surgery due to comorbidities. This article presents and discusses established local ablative techniques such as radiofrequency (RFA), microwave (MWA) and cryoablation for the treatment of small RCC based on current literature and in the context of the latest guidelines.

Background: Immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) have been verified as an effective antineoplastic agent for intravesical application in a murine orthotopic C57-BL6 /MB-49 urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC). To date, many details in the mode of action have remained unclear. Preceding studies pointed towards a Th1-weighted response. Read More
