Abstract:
Over this last year, urology has progressed both in oncology and reconstructive surgery. Genomic tests have been since quite a few years foreseen as very promising prognostic factors of prostate cancer, however remaining not clearly convincing. At last, the present data available seem to favour their contribution to improve selecting patients for active surveillance. For the same cancer, but at a metastatic stage resistant to androgenic deprivation, therano stics is providing an elegant targeting of disseminated tumor cells using a PSMA radio-active ligand fatal for the latter. Finally, penile urethral strictures appear to convincingly benefit on a long-term basis from a new method to place the substitution tissue which will restore urethral caliber.

Introduction to Urinary System
The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located in the retroperitoneal space, on either side of the vertebral column, between the T12 and L3 vertebrae. They are partially protected by the rib cage and surrounded by perirenal fat, which provides cushioning. They are responsible for urine formation and play critical roles in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte levels, and hormone production. The ureters...
