Case: A healthy 20-year-old man with a bell clapper deformity sustained a traumatic testicular dislocation in the setting of a pelvic ring injury following a motorcycle accident. Intraoperative urology consultation was obtained, and an open reduction and orchiopexy was performed. The patient recovered from both his pelvic ring injury and testicular dislocation uneventfully without long-term complications.

Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent MRI-targeted biopsy at our institution between May 2017 and August 2019 were enrolled in a prospective database. Three to 5 cores were obtained from ≥2 prostate imaging reporting and data system v2 lesions.
Introduction: In neurologically intact children with constipation and lower urinary tract symptoms, treatment of constipation frequently results in improved or resolved lower urinary tract symptoms. The impact of treatment of constipation on bladder function in children with a neurogenic bowel and bladder is not well studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of antegrade continence enemas (ACE) via Chait tube on urodynamic study (UDS) parameters and urinary continence in patients with neurogenic bowel and bladder (NGB).

Patients undergoing ureteroscopic lithotripsy were enrolled in a study utilizing text messaging to evaluate postoperative pain and opioid usage. Our historical postoperative pain regimen included #30 oxycodone.

Methods: All patients undergoing TBx at our institution from May 2017 to August 2019 were enrolled in a prospectively maintained database. Five biopsy cores were obtained from each lesion ≥3 on PI-RADS v2.
Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-targeted prostate biopsy (MRI-TB) improves the detection of prostate cancer. These biopsies typically involve both a 12-core systematic biopsy (SB) and MRI-TB of the lesion. Since the majority of PI-RADS 5 lesions represent clinically significant cancers, the utility of SB in addition to MRI-TB is unclear.

Introduction: Patients with spina bifida and other spinal dysraphisms commonly suffer from fecal incontinence and constipation, which can be treated with antegrade continence enemas. Currently, information regarding outcomes and satisfaction in children who have Chait cecostomy tubes is lacking. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Chait cecostomy tubes in management of constipation in children with spinal dysraphisms.

Metastases are not infrequently encountered, increasing with disease stage and are most commonly seen in the bones and lungs. Many other sites have been described including the omentum, liver, and ovaries.
