We aimed to provide a detailed comparison between the American Urologic Association (AUA), Société Internationale d'Urologie (SIU), and the European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines on the evaluation, management, and follow-up of the patients with anterior urethral stricture disease (USD).

This study aimed to compare the antero-lateral and posterior localized renal masses in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with the retroperitoneal approach in terms of operative, functional, and oncological outcomes.

To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessment of extraprostatic extension (EPE) and positive surgical margins (PSM) in anterior prostate cancer (APC).

With Institutional Review Board approval, 25 APC (>2/3 of tumor anterior to urethra) were assessed using 3T MRI by two blinded radiologists for: size and maximal leading edge of tumor (relative to anterior fibromuscular stroma [AFMS]) on b ≥1000 sec/mm(2) echo-planar-MRI fused onto T2 -weighted-MRI, invasion of AFMS and EPE.

Long anterior urethral stricture due to variable etiological factors constitutes a challenge for reconstruction. We evaluated our centers experience with cases of long anterior urethral stricture due to different etiologies that were managed by 2-stage substitution urethroplasty using buccal mucosal graft procedure.

To assess the safety, technical success, and clinical outcomes of percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) in patients with anterior renal tumors.

A retrospective analysis of patients with anterior renal tumors, defined as tumors at or anterior to the level of the renal pelvis, treated with CT-guided PCA from 2008 to 2022.

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is hampered by side effects that may have a serious impact on quality of life, particularly stress urinary incontinence. Continence rates may be improved by surgical reconstruction of the pelvic floor.

To review the long-term outcomes of transecting versus non-transecting urethroplasty to repair bulbar urethral strictures.

A retrospective review was conducted of 342 patients who underwent anterior urethroplasty performed by a single surgeon from 2003 to 2014.
