    Abstract The use of prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) is becoming more widespread for the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer. Here we report a case of oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the testes diagnosed incidentally on PSMA-PET imaging. This case demonstrates the potential for diagnosis of nonprostate disease with PSMA-PET imaging, as well as the promising nature of PSMA-PET for the diagnosis and surveillance of RCC. In addition, this case report discusses the rare occurrence of oligometastatic RCC to the testis.

    Abstract Background / objectives: Utilisation of ISBCS has been encouraged since COVID-19 in line with the RCOphth recommendations. This study aims to share experience from a UK teaching hospital on ISBCS and to evaluate pre-, intra- and post-operative outcomes from the ISBCS cohort.
    Methods: Of 3402 cataract surgeries performed between July 2020 and July 2021 (1 year since the reopening of the cataract service from COVID-19), 208 eyes of 104 patients (6.1%) undergoing ISBCS were retrospectively studied on their demographics, biometry, surgeon grades, and pre-, intra- and post-operative data.
    Results: The mean age was 74.5 ± 9.4 years and 62% were female. Eighty-nine percent of the eyes were performed under local anaesthesia and 70% were 'routine' cases. Other risk factors included: short eyes requiring pre-operative mannitol infusion (10%), high myopia (8%), poor dilation (2%) and a 'glaucoma' cohort [angle closure (2%) and prior trabeculectomy (1%)]. Three eyes (1%) had complications intra-operatively in second eye (1 case each: posterior capsule rupture, corneal oedema and zonular dehiscence). Two patients (1%) had complications in the first eye (1 case each: suprachoroidal haemorrhage, conjunctival & iris haemorrhage), hence had their second eye postponed. Twelve months post-operatively, 20 eyes (10%) had recorded post-op complications with cystoid macular oedema being the commonest (4.5%) and no endophthalmitis. Eighty-six percent were discharged with satisfaction. No significant differences were found in pre-operative features, complication rates and post-operative outcomes between consultant and non-consultant surgeons (p > 0.05).
    Conclusions: Our experience which included a cohort of high-risk patients showed safe and successful practice of ISBCS without having a negative impact on training.

    Abstract Objective: To maximize procedure volume and minimize workflow inefficiency in our urological procedure clinic, we hypothesized that for staff (nurses/medical assistants) and patient teams, team workflow duration (TWD) (the time required to complete team duties for a single appointment) could be reduced by 50% with a targeted workflow intervention developed using the Model for Improvement and Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Workflow inefficiency leads to wasted time and workplace dissatisfaction, resulting in lost revenue due to low procedure volume and high staff turnover.
    Methods: A baseline time study was performed to measure TWD for clinical teams, including the front desk, physician, staff, and patient teams. Implementation of previously identified interventions was also recorded. A workflow intervention was developed in which staff duties were split among two roles: staffer and triager. TWD and intervention implementation were remeasured over six Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles. Semistructured interviews were conducted as a balance measure to assess impact on staff workflow and wellness.
    Results: Our workflow intervention resulted in a 44% and 42% reduction in staff and patient TWD, saving nearly 17 minutes per appointment on average. Thematic analysis revealed that time saved could be best used to protect lunch breaks and allow time to complete nonclinical duties such as patient calls, which had previously been performed after-hours.
    Conclusion: Introduction of staffer and triager roles to staff workflow increased clinic efficiency by reducing workflow and procedure appointment duration. Time saved was used to increase procedure volume while also supporting staff wellness.

    Abstract Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is one of the most common ailments affecting aging men. Symptoms typically associated with BPH include weak stream, hesitancy, urgency, frequency, and nocturia. More serious complications of BPH include urinary retention, gross hematuria, bladder calculi, recurrent urinary tract infection, obstructive uropathy, and renal failure. Evaluation of BPH includes a detailed history, objective assessment of urinary symptoms with validated questionnaires, and measurement of bladder function parameters, including uroflowmetry and postvoid residual. In general, treatment of LUTS associated with BPH is based on the effect of the symptoms on quality of life (QOL) and include medical therapy aimed at reducing outlet obstruction or decreasing the size of the prostate. If medical therapy fails or is contraindicated, various surgical options exist. As the elderly population continues to grow, the management of BPH will become more common and important in maintaining patient's QOL.

    Abstract Purpose: Because multiple management options exist for clinical T1 renal masses, patients may experience a state of uncertainty about the course of action to pursue (ie, decisional conflict). To better support patients, we examined patient, clinical, and decision-making factors associated with decisional conflict among patients newly diagnosed with clinical T1 renal masses suspicious for kidney cancer.
    Materials and methods: From a prospective clinical trial, participants completed the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS), scored 0 to 100 with < 25 associated with implementing decisions, at 2 time points during the initial decision-making period. The trial further characterized patient demographics, health status, tumor burden, and patient-centered communication, while a subcohort completed additional questionnaires on decision-making. Associations of patient, clinical, and decision-making factors with DCS scores were evaluated using generalized estimating equations to account for repeated measures per patient.
    Results: Of 274 enrollees, 250 completed a DCS survey; 74% had masses ≤ 4 cm in size, while 11% had high-complexity tumors. Model-based estimated mean DCS score across both time points was 17.6 (95% CI 16.0-19.3), though 50% reported a DCS score ≥ 25 at least once. On multivariable analysis, DCS scores increased with age (+2.64, 95% CI 1.04-4.23), high- vs low-complexity tumors (+6.50, 95% CI 0.35-12.65), and cystic vs solid masses (+9.78, 95% CI 5.27-14.28). Among decision-making factors, DCS scores decreased with higher self-efficacy (-3.31, 95% CI -5.77 to -0.86]) and information-seeking behavior (-4.44, 95% CI -7.32 to -1.56). DCS scores decreased with higher patient-centered communication scores (-8.89, 95% CI -11.85 to -5.94).
    Conclusions: In addition to patient and clinical factors, decision-making factors and patient-centered communication relate with decisional conflict, highlighting potential avenues to better support patient decision-making for clinical T1 renal masses.
