UUI co-exists with numerous health conditions, having a substantial negative impact on health-related quality of life and mental health. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) could help patients manage these problems by changing the way they think and behave.
To evaluate the outcomes of partial and total cystectomy in patients with refractory Hunner-type interstitial cystitis (HIC). Patients with end-stage HIC who underwent supratrigonal partial cystectomy with augmentation ileocystoplasty (PC-CP) or total cystectomy with ileal conduit (TC-IC) were identified retrospectively.
To assess the surgical outcomes of augmentation urethroplasty (AU) using penile skin graft (PSG) compared to buccal mucosa graft (BMG) in anterior urethral stricture disease. Between January 2018 and January 2019, 100 patients with anterior urethral stricture planned for AU were randomized into PSG or BMG arms (CTRI/2018/07/015028).
To examine the incidence and factors associated with the development of new comorbidities in men undergoing anti-incontinence surgery after prostate cancer (PCa) surgery. Post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) may deter men from engaging in physical activities and increase the risk of developing comorbidities after prostatectomy.
To develop and perform a usability testing of a mobile application (app) with representative users of surgeons and female patients undergoing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery. A mobile app was developed with the Medical Device Epidemiology Network (MDEpiNet) High-Performance Integrated Virtual Environment (HIVE) to streamline the collection of patient-reported outcomes following SUI surgery using validated […]
