Dual balloon adjustable continence therapy (DBACT) has emerged as a promising option for treating stress urinary incontinence. DBACT is a minimally invasive and easily reversible procedure in which tw...
To analyze the effect of transvesical laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (TVLRP) on sexual function and urinary continence....
The data of 72 patients diagnosed with low-risk and localized prostate cancer, who underwent treatment at our hospital between January 2017 and June 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. All these pati...
The operation went well with no intraoperative difficulties. The average surgical duration of 102 ± 22 min, coupled with the minimal intraoperative blood loss of 100 ± 32 mL, underscored the precision...
Treatment of low-risk and localized prostate cancer by TVLRP has a satisfactory urinary continence and recovery of erectile function after operation, less and complications and definite tumor-control ...
Even in a country where vancomycin-resistant enterococcus is rare, multidrug-resistant organism precautions are necessary when admitting patients with a history of medical exposure in other countries....
The patient was a 49-year-old Japanese female living in the United States. Total pelvic exenteration for cervical carcinoma, Miami pouch formation, and ileostomy had been performed in the United State...
to validate the internal structure of the Hospital Resources Assessment Scale for the Preservation of Urinary Continence in the Elderly....
validation study of the internal structure of a scale constructed based on the Donabedian conceptual model and an integrative review, with prior content validation. The scale was applied to the target...
a factorial model with 11 items organized into two dimensions (support for human resources and material resources) was obtained. The "physical structure" dimension was removed from the initial model a...
we provide a valid scale that can measure indicators, identifying weaknesses and/or strengths related to hospital resources for the preservation of urinary continence in the elderly....
The Macedo ileal catheterizable channel was published in 2000 and consists of an enterocystoplasty with a catheterizable channel that precludes the need of the appendix for the efferent channel. After...
Since 2008, we have refined our technique with the following modifications: small skin transverse incision instead of longitudinal one, with a semicircular flap for further stoma creation in the midli...
We have treated 49 patients. Indications were spinal dysraphism (71.4%), mainly myelomeningocele (65.3%), and others (PUV, exstrophy, anorectal anomalies). Urodynamic evaluation showed bladder pressur...
We confirmed in a long term follow-up based on face-to-face visits with 8.3 years mean follow-up that the Macedo procedure associated with the scissors maneuver is associated with 93.9% continence of ...
To evaluate whether the urinary continence (UC) recovery after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) relates to the membranous urethral length (MUL) and the membranous urethral complex volume ...
120 patients who underwent RARP were enrolled according to the different times of UC recovery and examined using prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before surgery. The membranous urethral (MU) ...
Patients with larger tMUV (p = 0.038), eMUV (p = 0.003), longer fMUL (p = 0.025), eMUL (p = 0.044) had better UC after removal of the catheter, and eMUV (OR = 1.002, 95%CI = 1.001-1.004, p = 0.004) wa...
This clinical study shows that patients with larger MUV and longer MUL can return to UC earlier after surgery. Among that, eMUV is a better predictor....
This study aims at investigating the continence outcome in primary epispadias patients treated at a tertiary center. The authors hypothesized that additional continence procedures following primary ep...
Patients treated for primary epispadias at the authors' institution between 2007 and 2019 and toilet trained, were identified from a prospective maintained database. Males underwent chordee correction...

PFM biofeedback therapy, continence surgery, hydronephrosis. Type of epispadias, age at repair and follow-up presented as median was also reported....
Thirty-three patients (29 males) were included. Twelve had penopubic epispadias, 13 glanular/penile, 4 duplicated urethra, 4 females. Median age at repair: 2 years (IQR 1-3), at follow-up: 8 years (IQ...
Most children with primary epispadias can achieve social urinary continence spontaneously or with the support of PFM biofeedback therapy. Other continence procedures should be reserved for patients wh...
Treatment study - level IV....
Evaluate the relationship between psychological distress, namely anxiety and depression, with urinary continence and recovery of erectile function in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP)....
We retrospectively analyzed data from 33 consecutive patients who underwent RP in a single tertiary-referral academy between 01/2018 to 01/2019. We used the International Index of Erectile Function (I...
The analysis of the questionnaires completed during follow-up shows that erectile function is the most affected, with 90% erectile dysfunction (ED) at three months after surgery. In terms of emotional...
In the early post-surgical phase anxiety and ED are the most frequently detected components, while depressive experiences and decreased desire, typical of later stages, have not yet fully emerged....
The objective was to investigate the current evidence and discern urinary continence rates post robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP)....
A systematic review of the literature was carried out, searching the Embase, Scopus and PubMed databases between 1 January 2000 and 1 May 2020. The search terms "Robotic prostatectomy AND continence" ...
A total of 3101 abstracts and 50 full text articles were assessed, with 22 publications included (n = 2813 patients). There were 21 randomised controlled trials and one partly randomised controlled tr...
Early continence rates were improved across numerous techniques in RALP. These results were not translated into significantly improved long-term outcomes. Continence rates following RALP were favourab...
In addition to ensuring cancer control, prevention of incontinence which significantly impact patients' quality of life, is also an important issue in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) opera...
This study included 162 patients treated with RARP with perioperative data and at least 1 year of follow-up. Also, the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative parameters of the patients were a...
The majority of patients with prostate cancer present in sixth decade of life. The majority of our patients (56.7%) were categorized as high risk using D'Amico classification. The continence rate in o...
The young age may be associated with early recovery of continence, but further validation requires large number of cases. We attributed good continence recovery rate to meticulous dissection and prese...
