Operative reports (OR) are essential for documenting surgical procedures and ensuring continuity of care. However, operative reporting following flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) for stone disease remains poorly standardized. We aimed to describe self-reported documentation practices following fURS and identify additional information perceived as relevant by respondents. An online 29-item survey was distributed through the French Association of Urology (AFU) and Progress And Collaboration in Endourology (PACE) Group networks between April and September 2025. Respondents reported how frequently they documented 19 predefined perioperative and technical items using a five-point Likert scale and could suggest additional items. Reporting practices were compared according to endourology fellowship training, age, and annual ureteroscopy volume, with false discovery rate correction for multiple comparisons. Overall, 303 urologists completed the survey, predominantly practicing in France (89.1
Suction ureteral access sheaths (S-UAS), fixed-tip or flexible and navigable (FANS), are proposed to improve stone clearance and reduce infections in retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS); we updated our 2025 meta-analysis and asked whether tip design changes the effect. Five databases were searched from inception to March 2026 for comparative studies of S-UAS versus traditional sheaths (T-UAS) in adult RIRS (PROSPERO CRD420251164154). Outcomes were residual fragments at early (up to 3 weeks) and late (4 weeks or later) assessment, fever, sepsis, septic shock, severe complications, operative time and hospital stay, analyzed with random-effects models, subgroups by design and tip design, small-study tests and GRADE. Twenty-nine studies (four randomized; 5,604 patients) were included. S-UAS reduced residual fragments at early (RR 0.49; 95
Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) therapy is a standard-of-care for non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), and granulomatous prostatitis (GP) is a side effect often misdiagnosed as prostate cancer (PCa). We conducted a systematic review to clarify the clinical spectrum of BCG-induced GP. MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science were searched in June 2026. We sought studies reporting GP associated with BCG therapy for NMIBC, including case reports and case series. Risk of bias was evaluated using ROBINS-I and JBI tools. Findings were synthesized narratively (CRD420261324758). Forty-seven studies were included, comprising 23 case reports, 19 case series, and 5 comparative studies. In case series, abnormal digital rectal examination findings were reported in 100/240 (42
