Article Abstract
Background: Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) is a manifestation of benign prostatic hyperplasia marked by overgrowth of the prostatic median lobe into the bladder, producing bladder outlet obstruction and related storage and voiding symptoms.
Methods: A MEDLINE® database search of the current literature was guided using combination of "prostate" with the following terms: intravesical prostatic protrusion, bladder trabeculation, bladder outlet obstruction, lower urinary tract symptoms, alpha blockers, transrectal ultrasonography, and prostatectomy.
Results: Although IPP can be identified via a variety of imaging modalities, it is easily detected via transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS). Failing to detect IPP promptly by TRUS may result in refractory symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, as the condition may not respond to typical α-adrenoceptor antagonist therapy. In addition, depending on grade, IPP can influence outcomes and complications of prostatectomies.
Conclusion: Upon report of lower urinary tract symptoms, initial performance of TRUS along with digital rectal examination prevents delay in the appropriate evaluation and management of prostatic diseases.

Next-gen minimally invasive surgical therapies for benign prostatic hyperplasia: innovations, selection, and best practices- a review from European Association of Urology endourology.
Curr Opin Urol
September 2025
Department of Surgery, Urology Division, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Purpose Of Review: The expanding range of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) reflects a growing emphasis on individualized, anatomy-driven treatment that prioritizes symptom relief, reduced morbidity, and preservation of sexual function. This review provides a timely synthesis of MISTs, highlighting innovations in technique, key anatomical considerations, and evolving strategies for patient-centered care in the modern clinical setting.
Recent Findings: Recent studies highlight the expanding role of MISTs, such as UroLift, Rezūm, the temporary implanted nitinol device, Optilume BPH, transperineal laser ablation, and prostatic stents.
Transrectal prostate biopsy complications: a prospective single center study in a mid-income country.

September 2025
Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Objective: To identify complications following transrectal posterior biopsies in a public Brazilian reference center, and to identify the risk factors associated with complications.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study that employed a form designed by the Global Prevalence Infections in Urology study. Data from 1,043 consecutive patients who underwent transrectal prostate biopsy at a single Brazilian center were analyzed, including patient characteristics, procedural characteristics, and self-assessed complications at 28 days.

Introduction: Prostate leiomyosarcomas are rare malignancies. We report the case of a 53-year-old man with locally confined prostate leiomyosarcoma treated with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Presentation Of Case: The patient reported frequent urination, and imaging demonstrated a well-circumscribed tumor compressing the bladder wall.
Comparative outcomes and prognosis in patients wit ureteral upper tract urothelial carcinoma undergoing segmental ureterectomy versus radical nephroureterectomy: a multicenter cohort study.

August 2025
Department of Urology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, Dalian, Liaoning Province, China.
Background: Although radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) with bladder cuff excision remains the gold standard treatment for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), segmental ureterectomy (SU) may offer a nephron-sparing alternative. Studies comparing oncologic outcomes and renal functional outcomes between SU and RNU have yielded controversial, often conflicting results. Furthermore, investigations specifically involving ureteral UTUC patients in northern China are scarce.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the independent risk factors of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated with bladder stones, and construct a nomogram prediction model for clinical progression of bladder stones in patients with BPH.
Methods: The clinical data of 368 BPH patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2018 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with BPH were divided into group 1 (with bladder stones, n=94) and group 2 (without bladder stones, n=274).
