Are Two Meshes Better than One in Sacrocolpopexy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse? Comparison of Single Anterior versus Anterior and Posterior Vaginal Mesh Procedures.

Sacrocolpopexy (SC) is the main treatment option for the repair of anterior and apical pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Indications and technical aspects are not standardized, and the question remains whether it is necessary to place a mesh on both anterior and posterior vaginal walls, particularly in cases with only minor or no posterior compartment prolapse.

Metabolic syndrome and male lower urinary tract symptoms.

Historically, urologists regarded prostate enlargement as the sole cause for male bladder problems. Nocturia, hesitancy, weak stream, and post void dribbling are classical symptoms that seemed to correlate solely to an enlarged prostate (benign prostate enlargement BPE resulting from benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH leading to bladder outlet obstruction BOO due to benign prostatic obstruction BPO).

Comparison between antimicrobial stewardship program and intervention by infection control team for managing antibiotic use in neurogenic bladder-related urinary tract infection patients: A retrospective chart audit.

Antimicrobial prescriptions are relatively common in urologic outpatients. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the impact of antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) interventions. In urology outpatients, antimicrobial use density (AUD), antimicrobial agent costs, isolation of urinary tract infection (UTI)-causing organisms and their antimicrobial susceptibilities were compared between intervention by infection control team (ICT) era (pre-2014) and […]

Real world use of oral treatments in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome in the UK: Outcome of a cross sectional study.

To describe the oral treatments people living with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) are using to treat their urologic condition in the UK. A questionnaire hyperlink encompassing current and previous medications taken for IC/BPS with other sociodemographic and diagnostic indices was available to the Bladder Health UK website.
