Endourology continues to grow with the introduction of new technologies into clinical practice. Simulators and training models have been developed in order to improve comfort and proficiency in endoscopic procedures.

Foreign body (FB) erosion is now recognized as a major long-term complication following previous incontinence surgery. The aim of our systematic review was to ascertain the outcomes of endoscopic management in synthetic sling/mesh erosion following previous gynaecological surgery.

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is considered the standard endoscopic treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but traditional HoLEP surgery will cause some postoperative complications.

Single-use flexible ureterorenoscopes (fURSs) have been recently introduced aiming to offer solutions to the sterilization, fragility and cost issues of the reusable fURSs. In order to be a viable alternative, the single-use scopes must prove similar capabilities when compared to their reusable counterparts.

To compare the perioperative and functional outcomes of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) for the treatment of large-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (> 80 ml).

To evaluate whether the position of the working channel affects the effectiveness of flexible ureteroscopy.

We compared Flex-X2S and Flex-XC (working channel at 9 and 3 o'clock position, respectively) in eight cavities of the K-Box simulating the distribution of right and left intrarenal calyces.

Objectives: To describe our surgical technique of robotic ureteroileal reimplantation (RUIR) for ureteroileal anastomosis strictures with the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIFI) after transnephrostomic antegrade injection of indocyanine green in patients previously treated with robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder.

The main objective of this multicentric retrospective pilot study was to evaluate the one-year follow-up safety (i.e. minor (Clavien-Dindo I-II) and major (Clavien-Dindo ≥III) complications) of holmium enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), GreenLight photo selective vaporization of the prostate (GL PVP) and TURP performed after KT.

With the increase of the prevalence of pediatric urolithiasis (1-5%), retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is emerging as the preferred option for the management of stones in pediatric patients. Although the principles of RIRS developed in adults can be applied in children, also expert adult endourologists feel uncomfortable approaching young patients due to a long learning curve that usually is expected to be required in this particular setting. The aim of the study was to compare peri and postoperative outcomes of RIRS in pediatric and adult patients performed by a single surgeon expert in adult endourology (>500 RIRS) with no experience in pediatric urology.

Introduction: The surgical management of nephrolithiasis can be challenging due to multiple appropriate and feasible approaches. One advantage of urologists' increasing social media use is the opportunity for crowdsourcing or aggregating feedback from remote participants.
