Bladder cancer is any tumor that originates in the urinary bladder. It is the most prevalent tumor of the urinary system, with urothelial carcinoma being the most prevalent histologic subtype. It impacts both men and women. The development of bladder cancer was influenced by several risk factors, including advanced age, male sex, cigarette smoking, and occupational and environmental toxin exposure. Bladder tumors may manifest as gross or microscopic hematuria, which is assessed using cystoscopy, urine analysis, and other specialized tests. Due to the large number of cases related to environmental causes, bladder cancer is an appropriate target for public health preventative interventions. Cessation of smoking, adequate occupational safety procedures, diet, weight loss, and schistosomiasis prevention may mitigate the rising global incidence.

Hypospadias is among the most prevalent urogenital malformations in male newborns. It is characterized by the displacement of the urethral meatus to the ventral side of the penis, an aberrant ventral curve of the penis referred to as "chordee," and an abnormally arranged foreskin with a "hood" found dorsally and lacking foreskin ventrally. Patients may have an extra genitourinary abnormality based on the area of the lesion. In around 70% of cases, the urethral meatus is positioned distally to the shaft, representing a milder form of the disease. The remaining 30% of cases are located proximally, are more complicated, and require further evaluation. Although the origin of hypospadias is mostly obscure, several suggestions exist about genetic susceptibility and hormonal factors. The objective of hypospadias restoration is to restore aesthetic and functional regularity, and surgery is currently advised at a young age, mostly between six and 18 months. At any age, hypospadias can be repaired with an equivalent risk of complications, functional outcomes, and aesthetic outcomes. However, the best age of treatment is still undetermined. Even though the long-term effects on appearance and sexual function are usually good, males may be less likely to make the first move after rectification. Also, people who have hypospadias treated are twice as likely to have problems with their lower urinary tract. These problems can last for years after the initial repair.

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the sixth most prevalent cancer of the gastrointestinal system but the most prevalent cancer of the biliary tract. This tumor is a highly fatal condition. The importance of early diagnosis cannot be overstated because GBC develops quietly with late detection. Several genetic and environmental variables have been associated with the onset of GBC. Cholelithiasis and chronic inflammation from the biliary tract and parasite infections are prime examples of environmental factors that significantly influence the development of GBC. Abnormal pancreaticobiliary duct junction and biliary cysts are examples of congenital causes. In the past decade, new imaging technologies and a more radical and aggressive surgical approach have improved patient outcomes and aided prolonged survival for GBC patients. This review article focuses on the epidemiology of GBC, its risk factors, and clinical characteristics.

Objective We aim to assess the effect of low-pressure pneumoperitoneum on post operative pain and ten of the known inflammatory markers. Background The standard of care pneumoperitoneum set pressure in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is set to 12–14 mmHg, but many societies advocate to operate at the lowest pressure allowing adequate exposure of the operative field. Many trials have described the benefits of operating at a low-pressure pneumoperitoneum in terms of lower post operative pain, and better hemodynamic stability. But only few describe the effects on inflammatory markers and cytokines. Methods A prospective, double-blinded, randomised, controlled clinical trial, including patients who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients randomised into low-pressure (8–10 mmHg) vs. standard-pressure (12–14 mmHg) with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Perioperative variables were collected and analysed. Registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05530564/ September 7th, 2022). Results one hundred patients were allocated, 50 patients in each study arm. Low-pressure patients reported lower median pain score 6-hour post operatively (5 vs 6, p-value = 0.021) in comparison with standard-pressure group. Eight out of 10 inflammatory markers demonstrated better results in low-pressure group in comparison with standard-pressure, but the effect was not statistically significant. Total operative time and surgery difficulty was not significantly different between the two groups even in the hands of inexperienced surgeons. Conclusion low-pressure laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with less post operative pain and lower rise of inflammatory markers. It is feasible with comparable complications to the standard of care.
