APCCC (Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference) Diagnostics 2025
The diagnostic abilities for assessing prostate cancer patients have significantly evolved in the last years. Ranging from advanced imaging modalities for detection, new innovative liquid and tissue based biomarkers as well as the recent introduction of PSMA PET imaging have...Urinary retention in women: what a general urologist should know
Urinary retention (UR) is classified by the International Continence Society (ICS) into acute (AUR) and chronic (CUR). AUR is defined as the “inability to pass any urine despite having a full bladder which is painfully distended and readily palpable or...The importance of active investigation and follow-up in bladder injury
Bladder injury (BI) is uncommon, and patients are typically managed by large multidisciplinary teams, dealing concomitantly with other injuries or diagnoses. BI can be categorised by cause (traumatic vs. iatrogenic) or anatomical location (intraperitoneal vs. extraperitoneal), requiring differing approaches to...Urologist in a chocolate box: Felix Guyon
In this series of articles I am going to show you some of the exhibits contained in the Museum of Urology, hosted on the BAUS website (www.baus.org.uk). It is not often we get to say someone in urology has something...BAUP (British Association of Urological Pathologists) Macroscopy under the microscope
Macroscopy is a critical aspect of histopathology reporting that has generally received less attention than microscopy and is not uncommonly delegated to less experienced practitioners with limited guidance and supervision. A symposium discussing issues around macroscopic specimen examination was published in the March 2024 issue of the Journal of Clinical Pathology (2024;77:169-203). Based on this symposium, the British Association of Urological Pathologists (BAUP), the British Association of Gynaecological Pathologists (BAGP) and the Journal of Clinical Pathology are jointly organising a 2-day multi-speciality webinar.In conversation with Ian Pearce
We were delighted to catch up with our old friend, Ian Pearce, former Editor of Urology News and new President of BAUS. Can you tell us a little bit about what led you into the field of urology and the...Stuttering (recurrent ischaemic) priapism
Stuttering (recurrent ischaemic) priapism (SP) is a rare urological condition. Affected men will often experience almost daily prolonged and painful sleep related erections (SRE). Interestingly, these men report normal erections during the day and whilst awake. These episodes are usually...
Can continence and volitional voiding be achieved in bladder exstrophy?
Bladder exstrophy is a challenge to the paediatric urologist; here in the UK, repairs are now undertaken at two centres in order to concentrate experience. The ultimate aim is to achieve urinary continence and volitional voiding. In this study, John...
Scrotal antegrade sclerotherapy for the adolescent varicocele
The incidence of varicocele in adolescent males is around 15%. Treatment indications include symptoms (pain) and evidence of a smaller testis. Numerous surgical techniques are described but there is a lack of randomised controlled trials (RCT), specifically in adolescents. This...
Who should be taking care of the adolescent with testicular torsion?
From time to time (as paediatric surgeons), we receive referrals from regional hospitals to explore the testis in older boys. Given the time-critical nature of the condition, patients should benefit from assessment and surgery performed locally (when possible). Inter-hospital transfer...MOOCs
Technology has always been intimately linked to new educational methods. This has included distance learning, learning through multimedia and finally computer-based learning. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are so called because they can be taken by an unlimited number of...
