If replicated with further study, the finding potentially expands noninvasive fertility treatment options and may minimize the need for expensive reproductive technology, according to lead author Scott D. Lundy, MD, PhD, of Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Urology.

Anyone with a prostate can get prostate cancer, but some symptoms could be masked.

National MENtion It® campaign explores the impact stress has on men’s sexual and mental well-being.

A Cleveland Clinic study found that TKIs in the neoadjuvant setting are associated with greater use of partial nephrectomy when treating patients diagnosed with renal masses in a solitary kidney.

The published findings show the viability of using a transperineal ultrasound system as a means to monitor intra-fractional prostate motion for prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy.

Aquablation is a “minimally invasive procedure [that] is safe with long-term durability and a low-side effect profile,” said urologist Dennis Bentley, MD.

Smaller incision may lead to reduced postoperative pain for some patients.

“Our findings show that race-modified equations account for some but not all of the disparity in partial nephrectomy use. We need to keep searching for answers to ensure people of all races receive appropriate care," said Christopher Weight, MD.

“This study truly changes the paradigm of infections and suggests we need to work smarter, not harder, to prevent infections,” said urologist Scott Lundy, MD, PhD.

UroMonitor was developed in response to conventional urodynamics, which have several limitations.

Researchers still urge caution when considering testosterone therapy.

Study finds a 35% increase in vasectomy consultation requests.

The findings suggest creatinine-based eGFR equations alone may be inaccurate, and cystatin C or combined eGFR equations may be a more accurate assessment of kidney function in this population.

Cleveland Clinic surgeons describe a new technique for harvesting a rectal mucosa graft.

In an episode of Cleveland Clinic’s Cancer Advances podcast, Christopher Weight, MD, center director of Urologic Oncology at Cleveland Clinic, discusses robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

“The need for lifesaving organs continues to grow. We continue to increase patients’ options regarding the type of donors. We want them to get this life-changing procedure as soon as possible,” said Alvin Wee, MD.

Cleveland Clinic highlights its use of irreversible electroporation, also known as Nanoknife, in select patients with prostate cancer.

Innovation is at the cornerstone for care in Cleveland Clinic’s Department of Urology, and it’s enabling experts to deliver more personalized approaches to patients.

Machine learning isn’t new to medicine or to urology, but its potential remains largely untapped, according to the authors of two new Cleveland Clinic–led studies.

Patients can now undergo prostate surgery with epidural anesthesia and light sedation, known as twilight sleep, without the need for a ventilator general anesthesia.

A team of Cleveland Clinic urologists and pediatric oncologists has developed a streamlined testicular tissue collection and storage process. They have enrolled and cryopreserved testicular tissue for nearly a dozen young patients so far.

Cleveland Clinic specialist discusses the implications of the first published guideline for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction

ADT and other mainstays of therapy for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer may be effective in the management of Skene’s gland malignancy, a rare paraurethral adenocarcinoma.

Kidney transplant surgeon Alvin Wee, MD, MBA, presented findings at the 2022 AUA Annual Meeting

Minimally invasive BPH procedures relieve symptoms and can be done in outpatient settings.

On this episode of Cleveland Clinic’s Cancer Advances podcast, Byron Lee, MD, PhD, discusses optimizing surgical options for patients with bladder cancer.

A 54-year-old transgender woman presented at Cleveland Clinic with vaginal stenosis. She was seeking surgical revision after complications from gender affirmation surgeries performed at other care centers failed to establish a functional neovagina.

Cleveland clinic physicians Rahul Tendulkar, MD, and Steve Huang, MD, provide expert insight on PSMA-PET imaging and explain how it has changed clinical management of patients with prostate cancer.

Surgeons use single-port robot to achieve transvesical access to the vagina.

“Using the single-port robot with the transvesical approach allows us to go directly into the bladder, this means that we avoid the intraperitoneal cavity, which is not feasible with the multiport approach. This has led to less pain and postoperative ileus because the bowels stay intact,” says Jihad Kaouk, MD.
