The Role of Morcellation in En Bloc Resection of Large Bladder Tumors.

: Conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is usually performed in a piecemeal manner, leading to difficulties in accurate pathological assessment. En bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) has been developed to address these limitations, offering improved specimen quality. So far, ERBT has been restricted to small bladder tumors due to difficulties in en bloc extraction of large ones (>3 cm).

A New "Non-Traditional" Antibacterial Drug Fluorothiazinone-Clinical Research in Patients with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections.

In order to combat resistance, it is necessary to develop antimicrobial agents that act differently from conventional antibiotics. Fluorothiazinone, 300 mg tablet (The Gamaleya National Research Center), is an original antibacterial drug based on a new small molecule T3SS and flagellum inhibitor. A total of 357 patients with complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) were divided into two groups and given Fluorothiazinone 1200 mg/day or a placebo for 7 days to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the drug.

[Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in patients after transurethral resection of the prostate].

Performing a radical treatment of prostate cancer in patients with a history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a serious task even for an experienced surgeon, due to the anatomical and topographic changes that occur after endoscopic surgery.
