    Abstract Ever since the ureteral stent design was fitted with a curl on both sides to prevent it from migrating up or down the ureter some 40 years ago, its use has gained tremendous momentum, aiding in the rise and evolution of endourology and has confidently kept its place in modern time urology. Over the past four decades, several designs, coating and biomaterials have been developed, trying to reduce infection, encrustation and other stent related symptoms. As the ideal stent has not yet been discovered, different ways of helping patients with their complaints have been researched. This review will cover these aspects of stent use in urolithiasis.

    Abstract Introduction: PU is an option to manage complex and/or recurrent urethral strictures and is necessary after urethrectomy and/or penectomy. PU is generally assumed to be the last option before abandoning the urethral outlet.
    Method: Between 2001 and 2013, 51 patients underwent PU. Mean age (± standard deviation) was 60 ± 15 years. Only 13 patients (25.5%) did not undergo previous urethral interventions. PU was performed according to the Johanson (n = 35) or Blandy (n = 16) technique and these 2 groups were compared for surgical failure, maximum urinary flow (Qmax), urinary symptoms, and quality of life (according to the International Prostate Symptom Score).
    Results: Both groups were similar for patient's and stricture characteristics. Only follow-up duration was significantly longer after Johanson PU (47.9 months versus 11.1 months; P = 0.003). For the entire cohort, 11 patients (21.6%) were considered a failure (9 or 25.7% for Johanson group and 2 or 12.5% for Blandy group; P = 0.248). There was a significant improvement of Qmax in both groups. Quality of life after PU was comparable in both groups.
    Conclusions: PU is associated with a 21.6% recurrence rate and the patient should be informed about this risk.

    Abstract Objectives. To evaluate alterations in sexual function and genital sensitivity after anastomotic repair (AR) and free graft urethroplasty (FGU) for bulbar urethral strictures. Methods. Patients treated with AR (n = 31) or FGU (n = 16) were prospectively evaluated before, 6 weeks and 6 months after urethroplasty. Evaluation included International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), 5-Item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), Ejaculation/Orgasm Score (EOS), and 3 questions on genital sensitivity. Results. At 6 weeks, there was a significant decline of IIEF-5 for AR (-4.8; p = 0.005), whereas there was no significant change for FGU (+0.9; p = 0.115). After 6 months, differences with baseline were not significant overall and among subgroups. At 6 weeks, there was a significant decline in EOS for AR (-1.4; p = 0.022). In the FGU group there was no significant change (+0.6; p = 0.12). Overall and among subgroups, EOS normalized at 6 months. After 6 weeks and 6 months, respectively, 62.2 and 52% of patients reported alterations in penile sensitivity with no significant differences among subgroups. Conclusions. AR is associated with a transient decline in erectile and ejaculatory function. This was not observed with FGU. Bulbar AR and FGU are likely to alter genital sensitivity.

    Abstract Background: Kidney autotransplantation (KAT) is the ultimate way to salvage kidneys with complex renovascular, ureteral, or malignant pathologies that are not amenable to in situ reconstruction. A minimally invasive approach could broaden its adoption.
    Objective: To describe operative technique, perioperative complications, and early functional outcomes of robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation (RAKAT).
    Design, setting, and participants: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data regarding consecutive patients undergoing RAKAT between March 2017 and February 2018 at two university hospitals.
    Intervention: RAKAT.
    Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Technical feasibility, perioperative complications, and early functional results.
    Results and limitations: Seven patients underwent RAKAT (three male and four female; five left and two right; one totally intracorporeal) for complex ureteral strictures (n=5), severe left renal vein nutcracker (n=1), and loin pain hematuria syndrome (n=1). Two patients underwent bench vascular reconstruction and one patient underwent ex vivo flexible ureterorenoscopy. No patient needed open conversion. Median operative and console time was 370 and 255min, respectively, with median vascular and ureteral anastomosis time of 28 and 23min, respectively. Median warm, cold, and rewarming ischemia time was 2, 178, and 44min, respectively. One major postoperative complication occurred-wound dehiscence needing wound revision (grade 3b). Median hospital stay was 5 d. At 3 mo, all patients were free of indwelling stents, pain, or hematuria. Median serum creatinine at 3 mo was 0.80mg/dl and median calculated autotransplant glomerular filtration rate did not drop significantly.
    Conclusions: RAKAT is feasible, safe, and results in good functioning of the autotransplant in selected patients with complex ureteral strictures, loin pain hematuria, or severe nutcracker syndrome. Larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to confirm these findings and to test whether RAKAT is feasible for other KAT indications.
    Patient summary: We describe the first series worldwide of a minimally invasive technique for kidney autotransplantation. Robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation is a safe and feasible approach to prevent nephrectomy for intractable symptoms in selected patients with complex ureteral or renal pathology.

    Abstract Background: The combination of a neourethra and erection prosthesis in a single neophallus in the female-to-male transsexual remains a challenge. No good data are available on this subject.
    Objective: To report the outcome in 129 female-to-male transsexuals with a neophallus after the implantation of an erectile prosthesis.
    Design, setting, and participants: From March 1996 until October 2007, 129 female-to-male transsexuals with a neophallus underwent the implantation of an erectile prosthesis. The mean follow-up was 30.2 mo (range: 0-132 mo).
    Intervention: A Dynaflex prosthesis was implanted initially in 9 patients, a three-piece hydraulic device (AMS CX or AMS CXM) in 50 patients, and a CX Inhibizone, Ambicor, and Coloplast/Mentor prosthesis in 17, 47, and 6 patients, respectively.
    Measurements: Data on outcome in these patients were retrospectively evaluated.
    Results and limitations: Of 129 patients, 76 patients (58.9%) still have their original implant in place. Fifty-three patients (41.1%) needed to undergo either removal or revision of the prosthesis due to infection, erosion, dysfunction, or leak. Forty-one patients underwent a replacement of the prosthesis, nine needed a second revision, five needed a third revision, and one patient needed a fourth revision of prosthesis. Malposition of prosthesis was corrected by surgical repositioning so that removal or revision could be avoided. Of 185 prostheses used in 129 patients, 108 (58.4%) still remain in place, with a total infection rate of 11.9%, a total protrusion rate of 8.1%, a total prosthesis leak rate of 9.2%, a total dysfunction rate of 13%, and a total malposition rate of 14.6%. The period of follow-up in the more recent types of prostheses (Ambicor, Coloplast/Mentor) is much shorter; therefore, comparison with earlier types is difficult to make.
    Conclusions: Despite high complication rates, implantation of a hydraulic erectile prosthesis remains the best option for achieving the possibility of sexual intercourse in female-to-male transsexuals.
