To compare Cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in patients with Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) vs. non-SCC penile cancer, since survival outcomes may differ between histological subtypes. Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2004-2016), penile cancer patients of all stages were identified.
The recommended treatment for patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is radical cystectomy (RC). However, many patients refuse, or are unfit for RC.
Cystoscopy plays an important role in bladder cancer (BCa) diagnosis and treatment, but its sensitivity needs improvement. Artificial intelligence has shown promise in endoscopy, but few cystoscopic applications have been reported.
Urinary incontinence is prevalent among patients receiving home hospice and presents multiple care management challenges for nurses and family caregivers. This study sought to understand how urinary incontinence influences the psychosocial care of patients receiving home hospice and the strategies that nurses employ to maximize patient and family comfort.
To evaluate pain improvement and recurrent stress incontinence (SUI) following painful synthetic midurethral sling (MUS) removal. We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent synthetic MUS removal at our institution from 2009-2016 for the indication of pain.
Urethrotomy remains the first-line therapy in the treatment of a urethral stricture despite data showing no real chance of a cure after repeated urethrotomies. An anastomotic or an augmentation urethroplasty using oral mucosa can be offered to patients following failed urethrotomy.
To examine association between post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) severity and weight changes before and after restoration of continence via artificial urinary sphincter (AUS). Single surgeon, retrospective review of urologic prosthetic surgery (UPS) after radical prostatectomy (RP).
The objectives were to determine whether levator ani muscle (LAM) motor function is associated with female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) severity, and whether changes in LAM motor function induced through pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) are associated with improvements in SUI signs and symptoms.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is often treated with medications that block the cholinergic receptors in the bladder (known as anticholinergics). The effect of this medication class on cognition and risk of dementia has been increasingly studied over the past 40 years after initial studies suggested that the anticholinergic medication class could affect memory.
To compare the satisfaction degree and pelvic floor manometry after pelvic floor muscle training isolated and associated with tibial nerve stimulation in women with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI).
