Introduction to Asia School of UrologyAsian School of Urology 2022-2026 – New initiatives
Dr Michael YC Wong
Principal Director of ASU 2022-2026
President Endourological Society and WCET 2026
Introduction
Asian School of Urology (ASU) officially started in 1999 with the appointment of her first director Prof Pichai Bunyaratavej from Thailand (1999-2002) Subsequent directors were Dato Dr Rohan Malek from Malaysia (2002-2006) Prof Foo Keong Tatt from Singapore (2006-2010) Prof Rainy Umbas from Indonesia (2010-2014 ) and Prof Shin Egawa from Japan ( 2014-2022 ).
One of the highlights of the ASU in the early days were the organization of several workshops outside of UAA congress by three active sub-specialty sections of UAA namely Asian society of Endourology (over 16 workshops held from 1998-2008), Asian Society of Female Urology and Asia-Pacific society of Uro-Oncology. Other subspecialty sections were subsequently introduced and have matured very well including Asian Society of UTI and STI, Asian-Pacific Society of Andrological and Reconstructive Urology Surgeons.
In the last 8 years, ASU has seen tremendous growth under the steady leadership of Prof Shin Egawa with introduction of UAA lecturers at national Meetings and further maturation of the subspecialty sections of UAA e.g., Conversion of Asian society of endourology to Asian Robotic Urological Society to reflect the growth and development of UAA. During the past 8 years, ASU-South-East Asia section has also managed to organize 15 physical workshops and 4 webinars outside of UAA congress.
The Growth Trajectory for the next 4 years 2022-2026
There are many areas where ASU can grow further. Bearing in mind our limited resources and our excellent relationships with the world urological leaders at this point in our history.
There are three areas which I will focus on. Please remember that ASU is always open to other new initiatives as we must stay relevant to our Asian urological community.
1. Lasting and strong Relationships
1.1 AUA. Over a dish of chili crab with AUA secretary general Gopal Badlani, we explored the common desire to elevate Asian Urology and strengthen UAA Family. This led to our first joint UAA-AUA residency course at UAA Singapore 2016. After successful completion, a MOU was signed at AUA 2017 with Richard Babayan, Manoj Monga, Allen Chiu and myself in attendance. The AURC at UAA Hong Kong under Prof Eddie Chan was the result of this signed MOU. We are extremely grateful for the generosity of AUA for this program. What may not be obvious is that Gopal Badlani, Manoj Monga, John Denstedt and I served as faculty and board directors at WCE. We will sign the extension MOU in 2023 for another three years.
1.2 EAU. We have a very successful UAA-EAU Youth program since UAA Thailand 2012. This has been the work of several UAA senior members. From 2023, we are exploring joint webinars with EAU to build on this relationship.
1.3 SIU and WCE. We will further explore options based on available resources and manpower. Joint Webinar are planned for early 2026
2. Education Platform for Asian Urology Residents
From 2023, we will continue to grow our relationship with BJUI. BJUI has developed a world class online learning platform with tremendous investments since 2013. This platform is called BJUI Knowledge. ASU will reach out to all Asian residents via their national urological association president and secretary to encourage every resident to sign up for a free access to more than 420 interactive 30-minute modules covering the whole urology syllabus suitable for learning, exit exams and recertification exams. I am personally involved in developing all modules under Endourology and urolithiasis Section and have been associate editor since May 2013. The modest aim is for at least 10 residents per country to sign up by UAA 2023. We will report progress at each UAA council meeting. Pls see attached information and if there are any questions pls email me personally at email@drmichaelwong.com
3. Re-Strategize Training cum fellowship sites for ASU.
3.1 In the past we have always talked about the possibility about training sites for UAA and ASU. It has always been a difficult task due to financial and multiple logistics issues.
3.2 What can we do that is possible? Let us consider two options in the next 4 years.
3.3 For the last 6 years a group of Asian urologists started AUGTEG to design and provide two-day surgical training which includes lectures as well as dry and wet lab to develop surgical skills. AUSTEG has direct access to physical training centres in Thailand, South Korea, and China.
ASU will work with AUGTEC to pool resources since we are the same people working on both sides e.g., Anthony Ng (chairman of AUSTEG) Michael Wong (vice chairman) Eddie Chan (treasurer). AUGTEG is registered in HK.
3.4 The second option is to recognise elected university or training Asian centres to allow an attachment for young urologist post residency in a flexible format. ASU will recognise officially these sites as endorsed by UAA. At UAA 2025 , several potential ASU/UAA fellowship sites directors will be presenting their programmes to kickstart this initiative
4. In conclusion, ASU will continue to grow and serve the Asian Urological Community. The above initiatives are only the beginning of a next chapter. Can you contribute your ideas and current available resources for this purpose? If you can, Pls email me personally at email@drmichaelwong.com
Which Position is the Best for PCNL in 2025?With tremendous advances in both technique and technology , the MIS approach to staghorn calculi has evolved significantly over the last 30 years.
It is timely to review all the landmark articles on patient positioning as this ultimately determines renal access which in turn plays a major role in stone free rates. We will gain much insight as we debate and attempt to answer the question of which position is best in 2026!

AUA Lecture: 2025 Update of AUA and EAU NMIBC GuidelinesBoth the American Urological Association (AUA) and European Association of Urology (EAU) have developed guidelines for the management of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). While subtle differences in several aspects of these guidelines exist which merit mentioning, both guidelines emphasis the concept of risk stratification. In particular, understanding the criteria which classifies patients with NMIBC as high risk avoids undertreatment of the patients most likely to experience disease progress. Likewise, recognizing the indications for cystectomy among high risk NMIBC patients is critical to optimize survival. Meanwhile, continued options emerge for patients classified as having BCG unresponsive NMIBC, such that knowledge of that definition as well as current management strategies for these patients facilitates contemporary practice.From Bench to Bedside - A Comprehensive Overview of Kidney CancerEvaluation of patients with a newly identified renal mass includes dedicated cross-sectional imaging for appropriate characterization. Genetic syndromes which include renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are increasingly understood, and indeed knowledge of the intracellular pathways of these conditions has facilitate rationale drug development for kidney cancer. Managing patients with a small renal mass involves a critical assessment of competing risks inherent to the tumor, the patient (underlying comorbidity status), and the proposed treatment. Renal mass biopsy may play a role in select cases for additional information/risk stratification. The safety of active surveillance is being increasingly demonstrated as longer-term follow-up matures. Meanwhile, select patients with high risk disease now have the option of adjuvant immunotherapy following surgical resection. In the setting of metastatic RCC, again risk stratification plays a critical role in the decision for – and timing of – cytoreductive nephrectomy, particularly in the contemporary era of checkpoint inhibitor therapies.Real World Experience in the Management of Upper Tract Urothelial CarcinomaThe biggest challenging in managing upper tract urothelial carcionma (UTUC) remains accurate staging of tumors at diagnosis. Given the limited ability of contemporary staging methods, clinical risk stratification models have been developed to assist in providing risk-based treatment recommendations. For example, endoscopic management (e.g., ablation) represents the recommended first line approach for patients with low risk disease. Importantly, follow-up for these patients should include endoscopic re-evaluation. The value of testing patients with UTUC for Lynch syndrome is also critical to recognize. A role for neoadjuvant chemotherapy is being increasing explored for patients classified with high-risk UTUC, while several options exist for adjuvant chemotherapy and immunotherapy for patients with adverse pathology at surgical resection. Continued investigation into prevention of postoperative intravesical recurrences in patients with UTUC is warranted given the frequency of metachronous tumor development in the bladder among these patients.Updates on MIBC and Advanced Bladder Cancer: Where do We Stand in 2025While neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical cystectomy has been demonstrated with randomized trial data to improve survival for patients undergoing radical cystectomy, nevertheless utilization is often restricted by misunderstandings regarding patient eligibility factors. As such, defining eligibility criteria will facilitate increased adoption. Likewise, new data indicates a role for adjust immunotherapy in select patients following surgery as well. Moreover, important recent evidence on the role of extended lymph node dissection and the opportunities for preserving sexual function after cystectomy by modifying surgical technique are critical to review in order to optimize future patient outcomes. Further, recent advancements in systemic therapy options for patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma have led to unprecedented survival rates.Revisit on Testicular Tumors-What we Learned from past and Prepared for the FutureGerm cell tumor (GCT) progression typically occurs in a predictable sequence of disease spread to the retroperitoneum first and then distant metastases. Understanding the role of serum tumor markers at various disease stages is critical for guideline-concordant management and to optimize patient outcomes, avoiding both undertreatment and overtreatment. For patients with seminoma, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection now represents an option for patients with low volume retroperitoneal lymph node disease, with the goal of avoiding the long-term toxicities associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. For patients with residual postchemotherapy masses in seminoma, increasing evidence suggests that PET scans should be utilized/interpreted with caution, and that in the absence of mass growth continued follow-up may be the strategy for most patients. Similarly, for patients with nonseminomatous GCTs (NSGCT) and equivocal retroperitoneal lymph nodes at presentation, re-scanning after an interval of approximately 6-8 weeks may be preferable to initial treatment, as many of these nodes represent benign processes and as such will resolve. Nevertheless, postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection remains a critical component of the management of patients with NSCGT and a residual mass. Risk Stratification and Contemporary Management of Biochemical RecurrenceBiochemical recurrence (BCR) has been reported in up to 35% of patients following radical prostatectomy. Understanding the natural history and clinicopathologic risk factors associated with disease progression is critical to facilitate an individualized treatment approach. Likewise, recognizing the details of treatment delivery with salvage radiotherapy is necessary to optimize outcomes. Further, as data emerge on the utilization of systemic therapy for non-metastatic BCR, being able to contextualize reported outcomes with patient age, comorbidity status, and disease risk will enhance appropriate care delivery.

Comparison of Various Treatment Options for Localized Prostate CancerThere are numerous therapeutic strategies used to treat localized prostate cancer, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, prostate cancer itself is heterogeneous with some tumors being indolent and others being more aggressive. We will from the presentation by looking at outcomes separately in patients with favorable prognosis and those with unfavorable prognosis, based upon baseline clinical characteristics. We will first compare cancer control and mortality outcomes amongst the various options. We will then present data on patient-reported outcomes. At the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will have a better understanding of outcomes following treatment for localized prostate cancer and will be better prepared to counsel patients newly diagnosed with this common malignancy.Updates on Combination Therapy for Advanced Prostate CancerOver the past decade, there are have been significant advances in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. Randomized clinical trial data have demonstrated that combination therapies are superior to monotherapy in terms of cancer control and survival. Various treatment options will be discussed for metastatic castrate-sensitive and -resistant prostate cancer. These will be compared in terms of efficacy and side effect profiles to aid in treatment selection in this The Startup of An Academic Urologist - How to Build up Your Team in Clinical ResearchMany young academic urologists wish to perform clinical research at their institution. Often, however, this is challenging due to lack of resources or time. In this presentation, we will discuss how to build a clinical research program, including identifying what types of individuals need to be part of the team and what sort of resources are required for success. While American examples will often be used, information from this presentation will still be applicable globally.A Programmatic Approach to Prostate Cancer ScreeningProstate cancer screening has advanced beyond annual PSA testing. We now have numerous tools available to aid in identifying men at risk for harboring clinically significant prostate cancer, including MRI and various novel biomarkers. In this presentation, we will review these modalities and lay out a systematic approach to screening in 2025.

For patients with residual postchemotherapy masses in seminoma, increasing evidence suggests that PET scans should be utilized/interpreted with caution, and that in the absence of mass growth continued follow-up may be the strategy for most patients. Similarly, for patients with nonseminomatous GCTs (NSGCT) and equivocal retroperitoneal lymph nodes at presentation, re-scanning after an interval of approximately 6-8 weeks may be preferable to initial treatment, as many of these nodes represent benign processes and as such will resolve. Nevertheless, postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection remains a critical component of the management of patients with NSCGT and a residual mass. Risk Stratification and Contemporary Management of Biochemical RecurrenceBiochemical recurrence (BCR) has been reported in up to 35% of patients following radical prostatectomy. Understanding the natural history and clinicopathologic risk factors associated with disease progression is critical to facilitate an individualized treatment approach. Likewise, recognizing the details of treatment delivery with salvage radiotherapy is necessary to optimize outcomes. Further, as data emerge on the utilization of systemic therapy for non-metastatic BCR, being able to contextualize reported outcomes with patient age, comorbidity status, and disease risk will enhance appropriate care delivery.

Regeneration Medicine in Urology - A Promising Future or Hoax?Regenerative medicine comprises therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring tissue structure and function, rather than merely alleviating symptoms. By deploying cells, biomaterials, bioactive molecules, or combinations thereof, these interventions stimulate the body’s intrinsic repair mechanisms. This paradigm extends beyond traditional symptomatic treatment, offering the potential for true self-healing and organ reconstruction—ultimately prioritizing cure over chronic disease management.
Cell-based therapy has emerged as a promising intervention for various urogenital disorders, including erectile dysfunction (ED), bladder dysfunction, and male infertility. Current clinical research primarily focuses on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), investigating their safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy. Although early-phase studies suggest functional benefits—such as improved hemodynamics and tissue regeneration—most programs remain in preclinical or early clinical stages. A critical limitation remains the lack of standardization in MSC source, dose, and delivery route.
Among alternative sources, human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells (hAFSCs) have shown particular promise. In preclinical models of cavernous nerve injury, hAFSCs demonstrated prolonged retention in penile tissue and in-situ differentiation into α-smooth muscle actin-positive corporal smooth muscle cells, effectively replacing damaged tissue and restoring function. These findings represent an encouraging step toward curative therapy. However, the mechanisms governing their in vivo behavior—such as engraftment, differentiation, and immunogenicity—will ultimately determine their clinical translatability and therapeutic stability. Whether cell-based approaches can evolve from experimental platforms into routine clinical care remains a central question.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biologic product enriched with supraphysiologic levels of platelets, growth factors, chemokines, and extracellular vesicles. Upon activation, PRP releases a bioactive cocktail that promotes angiogenesis, neuroregeneration, and antifibrotic remodeling—key processes in the restoration of urogenital tissues.
In rodent models of cavernous nerve injury, PRP has been shown to preserve corporal sinusoidal endothelial cells and axonal scaffolds, while restoring erectile hemodynamics. Clinical studies further support PRP's safety in humans and report variable but promising improvements in IIEF scores following intracavernous injection. Nevertheless, the therapeutic response appears heterogeneous, likely influenced by patient factors, PRP preparation techniques, and injection protocols. Beyond ED, PRP has shown potential in other urologic indications such as stress urinary incontinence (SUI), interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), and chronic pelvic pain, where it may contribute to tissue regeneration and symptom relief. However, broader adoption will require the establishment of individualized blood-quality metrics, standardized preparation methods, and randomized controlled trials demonstrating durable benefit.
Emerging Regenerative Strategies
Beyond cell-based and autologous biologics, a suite of innovative regenerative technologies is progressing from bench to bedside. These include:
Energy-based devices such as low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT), which promotes neovascularization and tissue regeneration via mechanotransduction pathways.
Gene therapies, targeting dysfunctional or absent proteins in disorders like overactive bladder.
Smart biomaterials, capable of delivering cells or bioactive molecules in a controlled, responsive manner.
Extracellular vesicle (EV)-based therapeutics, which leverage cell-free vesicles derived from MSCs or urine-derived stem cells. These EVs carry signaling molecules (e.g., microRNAs, cytokines, growth factors) that mimic the paracrine effects of stem cells, offering a potentially safer and more scalable alternative to cell transplantation.
In preclinical models of ED and bladder dysfunction, EVs have demonstrated the capacity to promote smooth muscle regeneration, nerve sprouting, and fibrosis reduction, with functional improvements comparable to stem cell therapy.
Regenerative medicine has propelled the field of urologic tissue repair from theoretical promise to an early clinical reality. While substantial challenges remain—including the need for deeper mechanistic insight, protocol standardization, and regulatory clarity—the field is advancing rapidly. The convergence of cell therapy, PRP, EVs, and device-based modalities is creating a multifaceted toolkit for urologic regeneration. With continued scientific rigor, large-scale clinical trials, and interdisciplinary collaboration, regenerative medicine holds the potential to shift urologic care from chronic symptomatic management to durable, tissue-level cure.Stem Cell Therapy: Advancements and Clinical Insights for Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Erectile dysfunction (ED)—defined as the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity—affects over 150 million men worldwide. While phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5is) remain the first-line treatment, many patients, particularly those with diabetes, age-related vascular decline, or neuropathy following radical prostatectomy, show suboptimal responses. Consequently, regenerative medicine—particularly stem-cell therapy—has gained interest for its potential to address the root causes of ED rather than merely managing symptoms.
Stem-cell therapy offers a multifaceted approach to treating ED through neuroregeneration, angiogenesis, anti-apoptotic signaling, and fibrosis inhibition. Once introduced into the target tissue, stem cells can differentiate into specific cell types or exert paracrine effects via secretion of growth factors and extracellular vesicles. Among the various sources studied, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), and umbilical cord-derived MSCs (UC-MSCs) have been most extensively explored.
Preclinical studies consistently demonstrate that MSC-based therapies enhance cavernous nerve regeneration, suppress fibrosis, and preserve endothelial integrity. In rat models of diabetes- or nerve-injury-induced ED, intracavernosal injections of ADSCs or BM-MSCs significantly restore intracavernosal pressure (ICP) and improve corpus cavernosum histology. Phase I/II clinical trials also support the safety and preliminary efficacy of stem-cell approaches. For example, in men with diabetic ED treated with autologous BM-MSCs, significant improvements in International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) scores and penile arterial flow have been reported without major adverse events. Similarly, ADSC therapy in post-prostatectomy ED has shown encouraging short-term results. However, large-scale trials are needed to clarify long-term efficacy, immune responses, and safety profiles.
Human amniotic fluid stem cells (hAFSCs) represent a promising alternative, offering characteristics that bridge embryonic and adult stem-cell profiles. These include broad multipotency, high proliferation, and low immunogenicity—traits ideal for allogeneic use and neuroregenerative purposes. Notably, hAFSCs secrete potent regenerative mediators such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), all of which support neurovascular repair and smooth muscle integrity. Our recent studies demonstrate, for the first time, that hAFSCs persist long-term in penile tissue and can differentiate into cavernous smooth-muscle cells, effectively replacing damaged tissue and improving erectile function even in chronic neurogenic ED models.
Despite these advantages, our findings did not reveal in-vivo homing of hAFSCs to nerve injury sites or differentiation into neural tissue. This suggests a need for future studies to identify the specific microenvironmental cues required to induce such responses. Additionally, combining hAFSCs with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may provide synergistic benefits—enhancing stem-cell homing, paracrine signaling, and in-vivo differentiation—thereby advancing a more effective, scalable, and safe therapeutic strategy.

Male Infertility: Challenges and Opportunities in AsiaMale infertility contributes to nearly 50% of all infertility cases, with an increasing burden observed across Asia. In parallel, a dramatic decline in birth rates has emerged in several Asian countries—including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore—reaching historically low total fertility rates (TFRs) of under 1.0. While multifactorial in nature, this demographic crisis underscores the urgent need to address all aspects of reproductive health, including the often-overlooked role of male infertility. Epidemiological data reveal significant regional disparities in the prevalence, diagnosis, and treatment of male infertility. Cultural stigma, limited andrology training, fragmented referral systems, and inadequate coverage of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have impeded timely diagnosis and intervention. Environmental exposures, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, occupational heat, and increased paternal age have all been linked to declining semen quality, as evidenced by longitudinal studies showing decreased sperm concentration and motility in several urban centers across Asia. Current diagnostic tools—including semen analysis, hormone profiling, genetic testing (e.g., Y-chromosome microdeletion, karyotyping), and imaging—enable better etiological categorization. Microsurgical sperm retrieval techniques such as mTESE have provided new hope for patients with non-obstructive azoospermia, while ICSI and sperm cryopreservation have become increasingly utilized where available. Nevertheless, access remains inconsistent, particularly outside metropolitan regions. Recent integration of AI-based systems for semen evaluation, patient triage, and digital counseling offers promising strategies to improve care delivery, especially in under-resourced settings. However, data privacy, regulatory standards, and user trust continue to pose barriers to widespread implementation. Opportunities for systemic improvement include the development of regional male infertility registries, integration of andrology into national reproductive health frameworks, expansion of insurance coverage for fertility services, and public awareness campaigns to destigmatize male infertility. In light of Asia’s fertility decline, repositioning male reproductive health as a public health and demographic priority is essential for sustainable population policy and long-term healthcare planning.
The Peri-Operative Care of MIST For Prostate HyperplasiaMinimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST), particularly UroLift and Rezūm, have transformed the treatment landscape for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), offering effective symptom relief with reduced morbidity and preservation of sexual function. However, optimal outcomes depend not only on procedural execution, but also on well-structured peri-operative care protocols encompassing pre-, intra-, and post-operative management. Pre-operative evaluation includes comprehensive assessment of prostate anatomy—especially size, shape, and presence of median lobe—via imaging (TRUS or cystoscopy) to determine candidacy. Careful patient selection is essential: UroLift is typically suited for prostates <80 cc without obstructive median lobes, while Rezūm accommodates broader anatomical variability but may have delayed symptom resolution. Baseline symptom scores (e.g., IPSS), uroflowmetry, and post-void residual volume establish functional benchmarks and guide patient counseling. Anesthesia planning must consider procedural setting and patient comorbidities. UroLift can often be performed under local anesthesia with light sedation, whereas Rezūm may require short general anesthesia or deeper sedation due to thermal discomfort. Appropriate selection reduces intraoperative stress and facilitates same-day discharge. Intraoperative care focuses on minimizing trauma and ensuring device precision. UroLift requires accurate deployment of implants to maintain lateral lobe retraction without compromising sphincter integrity. In Rezūm, the number and duration of vapor injections must be titrated based on lobe size and configuration to balance efficacy and tissue inflammation. Real-time visualization and standardized protocols reduce variability and improve safety. Post-operative management involves anticipating and controlling transient irritative symptoms, such as dysuria, urgency, and hematuria. Alpha-blockers and anti-inflammatory medications are commonly used for 3–7 days post-procedure. Catheterization strategies differ by technique: UroLift may avoid catheter use entirely, whereas Rezūm often requires 7-14 days of catheter drainage due to anticipated edema. Monitoring for urinary retention, UTI, or clot obstruction is critical during the early recovery phase. Follow-up care typically occurs at 2–4 weeks and includes reassessment of voiding function, symptom scores, and patient satisfaction. Reinforcement of realistic expectations is especially important with Rezūm, which may take 4–6 weeks to achieve peak efficacy. Longitudinal studies indicate sustained symptom relief and low retreatment rates when peri-operative care is standardized and patient education is emphasized. Adverse event profiles differ between techniques: UroLift is associated with less dysuria but higher retreatment rates in large prostates, while Rezūm presents higher rates of transient discomfort but favorable durability. Structured peri-operative care pathways—including patient education, standardized medication protocols, and clear complication management plans—enhance recovery, minimize adverse events, and improve overall clinical success.
