Objective To review the utility of vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA)‐directed biopsy in the setting of biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer (PCa) in patients who have undergone evaluation by gallium‐68 prostate‐specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography with computed tomography (68Ga‐PSMA PET/CT). Methods We completed a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained dataset […]
Objectives To develop and validate a model to predict 12‐month continence status after robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) from preoperative and 3‐month postoperative data; this model could help in informing patients on their individualised risk of urinary incontinence (UI) after RP in order to choose the best treatment option. Patients and Methods Data on 9421 patients […]

Abstract Objective To determine the long‐term outcome of endoscopic urethrotomy for primary urethral strictures based on a population‐based approach. Patients and Methods Analysis of a nation‐wide data base of all patients with urethral stricture disease who underwent endoscopic urethrotomy as primary intervention between January 2006 and December 2007. All patients were followed individually for 7 […]
