Pelvic Floor Muscle Parameters Affect Sexual Function After 8 Weeks of Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation in Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is often associated with female sexual dysfunction. We investigated which pelvic floor muscle (PFM) parameters (strength, power, and endurance) are associated with improvement of sexual function after 8 weeks of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) training. This study was performed to determine the effects of TES in the seated position on PFM […]

Surgical and patient-reported outcomes of urethroplasty for bulbar stricture due to a straddle injury.

To report our experience with urethroplasty for bulbar stricture due to a straddle injury based on surgical and patient-reported outcomes. Patients who underwent urethroplasty for bulbar stricture due to a straddle injury between 2010 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed (N = 132). Successful urethroplasty was defined as the absence of the need for additional treatment. The patients […]

Early Oncological and Functional Outcomes of Prostate Capsule Sparing Cystectomy Compared with Standard Radical Cystectomy.

A comparative study of standard radical cystectomy and prostate capsule sparing radical cystectomy regarding functional and oncological outcomes. A randomized study of 96 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (December 2014 – June 2016) was done. We excluded cases with preoperative T4 staging, lymphadenopathy, prostatic specific antigen > 4 ng/dl, and cases with […]

Transnephrostomic Indocyanine Green-Guided Robotic Ureteral Reimplantation for Benign Ureteroileal Strictures After Robotic Cystectomy and Intracorporeal Neobladder: Step-By-Step Surgical Technique, Perioperative and Functional Outcomes.

Objectives: To describe our surgical technique of robotic ureteroileal reimplantation (RUIR) for ureteroileal anastomosis strictures with the use of near-infrared fluorescence imaging (NIFI) after transnephrostomic antegrade injection of indocyanine green in patients previously treated with robot-assisted radical cystectomy and intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Pulmonary Complications after Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy: A Retrospective Observational Analysis of 2208 Patients at a Large Single Center.

Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of prostate cancer. RALP requires the patient to be placed in the steep Trendelenburg position, along with pneumoperitoneum, which may increase the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).

Clinical and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with nerve sparing vs. non-nerve sparing for high-risk prostate cancer cases.

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is one of the most widely used procedures for localized prostate cancer (PCa). In the present study, the clinical and oncological outcomes of RARP with bilateral or unilateral nerve sparing (NS) for D’Amico high-risk PCa cases were assessed.
