To critically review the contemporary evidence on single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (SP-RAPN), focusing on comparative outcomes, patient selection, anatomy-based surgical approaches, technical implementation, and its current role relative to multi-port RAPN (MP-RAPN).

Surgery remains the standard of definitive care in male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). This narrative review provides a critical discussion of pertinent aspects of male continence surgery, including cost-benefit analysis and whether continence surgery should be offered earlier.

This review summarizes the procedural techniques, short- and long-term efficacy, and clinical application of polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG, Bulkamid®) as a urethral bulking agent for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI); compares PAHG with mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery; and examines emerging hydrogel-based regenerative platforms, used for mechanical bulking, delivery of bioactive molecules or cells, and extracellular matrix-mimetic scaffolding, together with their prospects for clinical translation.

Preoperative planning in staghorn stones treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) can improve efficiency and minimize complications. We summarized the current evidence on imaging features to guide the selection of optimal access for managing staghorn stones.

This review examines how the clinical skills, professional traits, and developmental pathways of practicing urologists can translate into broader institutional leadership roles, addressing the persistent underrepresentation of surgeons and urologists in health system decision-making.

Single-port robotic surgery has experienced remarkable evolution over the past five years, fundamentally transforming minimally invasive urologic practice. This review examines recent advancements in single-port robotic platforms, surgical techniques, and clinical outcomes across the spectrum of urologic procedures.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of difficult access in endourology. This focuses on anatomical factors that complicate endoscopic management of upper and lower urinary tract diseases and discussing strategies to manage these challenges.

Nocturia is a highly prevalent symptom that affects multiple aspects of health. However, it is often underrecognized and undertreated, leading to problems both within the genitourinary system and systemically. The goal of this paper is to further characterize the pathophysiology behind the most common medical factors that contribute to nocturia by performing a focused literature review in a structured format. This will aid clinicians when evaluating and treating patients with nocturia.

Treatments for voiding dysfunction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have evolved greatly but also attempted to recapitulate existing ideas. This review will detail the MISTs for BPH through three temporal lenses: past failures and their lessons, contemporary therapies with evidence bases and emerging technologies that are potential futures for minimally invasive BPH treatment.

The urology workforce is aging, with a median provider age of 54 years and approximately one-third over the age of 65. With growing workforce shortages and increasing age-related urologic disease, the need for urologists will continue to increase. Although initiatives such has residency expansion, increased use of advanced practice providers, and alternative certification pathways are being implemented, continued contributions and engagement from senior urologists is becoming increasingly important. These "Seniorologists" can offer refined clinical judgement, mentorship, communication skills, professionalism, and fundamentals of medicine such as the physical exam. Although changes in cognitive and physical performance may limit some "Seniorologists", these changes vary widely and each individual should be considered on an individual basis. Self-monitoring, ongoing education, objective evaluation, and appropriate scope of clinical responsibilities can be implemented for quality and patient safety. Capable "Seniorologists" should be supported by institutions while allowing for flexibility in workload and practice scope. As clinical responsibilities are reduced, "Seniorologists" can contribute to the field of urology through teaching, mentoring, and leadership. This type of support benefits the trainees and colleagues, the patients, and the field of urology as a whole. In an era of growing workforce shortages despite growing demands, experienced "Seniorologists" remain an invaluable asset whose continued engagement will help shape the future of urology and change patient care.

To perform a detailed review of the current literature on management of the müllerian system with an understanding of urologic considerations in patients with persistent cloaca.

Radical Prostatectomy is one of the standard treatments for localized clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa). However, despite advances in surgical technique such as the robotic radical prostatectomy (RARP), stress urinary incontinence (SUI) remains a common side effect. Patient counseling should include a discussion of preoperative predictors of incontinence including obesity, larger prostate size and shorter membranous urethral length. To improve surgical outcomes, several management strategies have been developed. These include surgical techniques such as the Rocco Stitch, the Hood-technique, and Retzius-sparing RARP. Novel treatments, devices and multimodal approaches are emerging including prehabilitation, remote and digital pelvic floor muscle training, novel neuromodulation, automated artificial urinary sphincters, and surgical augmentation of the vesicourethral anastomosis. These new strategies offer the potential for improved continence without compromising oncologic outcomes. Overall, incontinence prevention and treatment after RARP is becoming increasingly individualized with many options available for clinicians to offer to patients. Continued innovation and discovery in functional recovery after RP are imperative.

To summarize existing literature on the outcomes of Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO2) therapy for RC and focus on recent updates since the original 2018 scoping review.

To examine the evidence on contemporary lasers and provide a practical framework for platform selection, parameter optimization, and thermal safety based on the principles of smart lithotripsy.

This manuscript provides a narrative review of techniques of neurovascular reconstruction during robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).
