Article Abstract
Introduction: Completion proctectomy is traditionally performed using a combination of abdominal and perineal approaches. Access to and exposure of the pelvis through the abdominal cavity can be limited in patients with prior surgery or inflammatory conditions. We describe a novel technique for a total transperineal approach for proctectomy for Crohn's proctitis, avoiding technical challenges, risks, and recovery associated with abdominal surgery.
Technique: We utilized the skills and expertise acquired from our experience with transanal total mesorectal excision to perform a total transperineal laparoscopic proctectomy in a male patient with medically refractory proctitis. He previously underwent an anterior resection, drainage of a chronic presacral abscess, omental pedicle flap transposition to the pelvis, and end colostomy for severe Crohn's colitis. The total transperineal laparoscopic proctectomy approach avoids the need for abdominal access, including the risks associated with abdominal entry, adhesiolysis, pelvic access and visualization, and wound-related issues. Following an initial intersphincteric perineal dissection, the GelPOINT Path minimal access platform is utilized to perform a total transperineal proctectomy.
Results: The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged to home 2 days after surgery. At 1-month postoperative follow-up, the patient is recovering well with complete healing of the perineal wound.
Conclusion: We demonstrate the feasibility, safety, and technical steps of a minimally invasive completion proctectomy for fistulizing Crohn's proctitis by using a total transperineal approach. This approach allowed us to utilize direct, inline, high-definition visualization to access and safely operate in the distal aspects of a narrow, scarred, and fibrotic pelvis while avoiding the need for any abdominal access. Advanced experience with redo pelvic and minimally invasive transanal surgery is critical. See Video at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B664.

Objective: To explore the role of prostate health index (PHI) and its derivatives for early screening in patients with PI-RADS score 3 and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of 4－20 μg/L.
Methods: Clinical data of 203 patients with a score of 3 on the PI-RADS v2.1 scoring system who underwent ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate aspiration biopsy from April 2021 to April 2024 from Provincial Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and Weifang People's Hospital were collected.

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of hydrodissection of the prostato-rectal space using 10% dextrose for focal therapy of posterior prostate tumours.
Patients And Methods: We included consecutive patients who underwent focal therapy for a posterior prostate tumour with a prior injection of 10% dextrose in the prostato-rectal space, between October 2024 and February 2025. The main outcomes were to evaluate the space created using this technique.

Background: To evaluate unilateral systematic biopsy (SB) combined with targeted biopsy (TB) and assess its diagnostic accuracy in a real-world, single-centre setting.
Methods: Patients with ≥1 MRI lesion who underwent both transperineal 12-core and 3-core TB were enrolled in this study. Detection rates for total prostate cancer (PCa) and clinically significant PCa (csPCa) were compared between TB, unilateral SB+TB, and SB+TB.

Aim: Risk factors for predicting postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI) attract increasingly more attention. Here, we incorporate transperineal ultrasonography (US) and pelvic floor electromyography into the real clinical setting, aiming to evaluate various risk factors comprehensively and objectively and weigh their roles in predicting postpartum SUI.
Materials And Methods: A total of 530 subjects were enrolled.

Introduction: Three MR-targeted biopsy (MR-TB) techniques-software fusion (FUS-TB), cognitive (COG-TB), and in-bore (IB-TB)-are considered comparable by EAU guidelines, although recommendations remain weak. This study aimed to compare detection rates of clinically significant (csPCa), insignificant (cisPCa), and overall prostate cancer (PCa).
Materials And Methods: This prospective, non-randomized, controlled bicentric study (2019-2024) included biopsy-naïve and previously negative biopsy patients with suspected PCa (PSA ≥ 2 ng/mL, TRUS lesion, positive DRE and PI-RADSv2.
