How many cores should be collected per region of interest in fusion targeted prostate biopsy? A retrospective single institution statistical simulation To determine how many cores should be collected per region of interest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided fusion prostate biopsy. MRI-guided targeted prostate biopsy has led to improved detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC); however, data is limited regarding the optimal number of biopsy cores that should be taken. An ideal number of cores maximizes clinically significant cancer detection while minimizing cost, discomfort, and procedure time.

Optimizing the Appropriate Mode of the Pulse-Modulated Holmium Laser in a Pop-Dusting Benchtop Model To investigate the effectiveness of different holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser modes for lithotripsy in the “dusting era” and identify the optimal laser mode for producing stone fragments measuring ≤0.5 mm.

Letter to the editor on:” Social Vulnerability is Associated with Worse Urinary Incontinence and Quality of Life in Women” Dear editor:

Author response to editorial comment URL-D-24-02203 We appreciate and thank for this editorial comment to our contribution. Because of its location deep in the pelvis, closely related to continence and erection mechanisms, reconstruction of posterior urethral stenosis (PUS) is probably one of the most challenging scenarios in reconstructive urology. Although the traditional reconstructive technique (transecting excision and primary anastomosis - EPA) has shown a high success rate for most etiologies of PUS, failures still occur. The main reasons for failure include incomplete removal of the fibrous urethral disease and inadequate diameter and/or tension at the anastomosis.

Successful Multi-Modal Treatment of Uterine Rhabdomyosarcoma Uterine RMS is exceedingly rare. The treatment strategy has evolved from aggressive local control with upfront surgery followed by radiation to a more conservative approach with chemotherapy followed by additional treatment pending response, which is outlined in a recent consensus statement from the International Soft-Tissue Sarcoma Consortium.3 We present a case of a 2-year-old with intermediate risk uterine RMS. She was treated with a multimodal regimen including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery with abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, oophoropexy, partial proximal vaginectomy, and right extravesical non-refluxing ureteral reimplant to achieve a complete resection.
