Aim: Evaluate the feasibility of harvesting the entire penile structure, including the internal pudendal artery and the external pudendal vessels from their origin.
Methods: A monocentric, prospective, cadaveric study was conducted from November 2023 to January 2024 on five male cadavers. The harvesting aimed to include the entire corpora cavernosa, the urethra up to the sub-prostatic region, the pudendal nerves, the external pudendal arteries and veins to their origins and terminations, and the internal pudendal arteries to their origins.
Background: Urethral strictures are a common and persistent pathology in urology with significant clinical repercussions. Our aim is to provide an overview of the general aspects of this condition.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature from PubMed was conducted covering the period from 2020 to 2023.
Background: The diagnosis of urethral strictures logically includes a precise assessment of urinary symptoms, but must also take into account the impact on sexuality. What role will new imaging play in 2024?
Methods: A literature review from December 2020 to December 2023 was carried out, combined with a synthesis of the recommendations of the American, Canadian, European and French urology associations. References from these recommendations were also used.
Article Synopsis
- - The article focuses on Posterior Urethral Stenosis (PUS), discussing the surgical challenges and summarizing current management practices based on a review of literature and recommendations from key urological associations.
- - The review highlights different types of PUS, such as those resulting from pelvic fractures, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatectomy, and radiotherapy, each presenting unique treatment challenges and risks.
- - Treatment strategies for PUS are varied and should be tailored to the specific location and cause of the stenosis, balancing surgical options with the patient’s overall health and the potential impacts on urinary and sexual functions.
Introduction: Distal anterior urethral strictures (DAUS) affect the meatus, navicular fossa (NF) and penile urethra (PU). The main causes are inflammatory (lichen sclerosous [LS]), traumatic iatrogenic, or idiopathic. Post-hypospadias stenosis is common and constitutes a separate entity, dealt with in a separate article.

Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted from December 2020 to December 2023, combined with a summary of recommendations from the American, Canadian, European, and French urological associations.
Objectives: To assess the correlation between the response to transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) and subsequent response to sacral nerve modulation (SNM) to treat overactive bladder (OAB).
Materials And Methods: All patients who consecutively received TTNS followed by a two-stage SNM between January 2016 and June 2022 to treat OAB in two university hospital centers were included. The response to each therapy was evaluated with success defined by a 50% or greater improvement in one or more bothersome urinary symptoms from baseline.
