Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) have genetic differences, which may influence therapy. The aim of the current review was to summarize the current genetic understanding of upper tract and BUC.
En-bloc resection of bladder tumors achieves complete tumor removal, improves the quality of resection, decreases perioperative complication, and potentially improves recurrence rates. To assess the efficacy and safety of holmium laser en-bloc resection (HolERBT) versus conventional transurethral resection of bladder tumor (cTURBT).
To evaluate the prognosis of patients with pT1 bladder cancer who underwent en bloc resection of bladder tumors (ERBTs), stratified by invasion to the muscularis mucosa (MM) level. Among 64 specimens obtained by ERBT with bipolar energy from patients with pT1 bladder cancer, MM was detected in 61 specimens.
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is rare in adulthood, accounting for 2%-5% of adult soft tissue tumors, and less than 20% occur in genitourinary organs. Given its rarity, survival data on adult kidney, bladder, and prostate RMSs is limited.
Urethral strictures arise from a variety of etiologies, most commonly either iatrogenic or inflammatory in the anterior urethra and iatrogenic/surgical or traumatic etiologies in the posterior urethra.
Background: Post-radical prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) is a frequent and feared complication that can affect approximately 25% of patients. Between 1 and 10% of patients suffering from PPI will require surgery.
The main purpose was to assess the failure free survival of adjustable continence therapy ACT®/proACT® after continence was obtained and to seek factors influencing it. Retrospective, single-center survival study of peri-urethral balloons implanted between 2007 and 2014.
As the Malaysian population is aging rapidly, there is an urgent need for an effective management plan for healthy aging, to extend life expectancy and to improve quality of life (QoL). Urinary incontinence (UI), which is common in older persons, is often linked to reduced QoL.
The aim of the study was to compare which test is most sensitive in identifying stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women with pelvic organ prolapse using urodynamics (UDS) as the criterion standard: cough stress test (CST) or pyridium pad test.
Literature review on the home-based options for the conservative management of stress urinary incontinence including biofeedback and weighted vaginal cones.. Research was conducted in the Cochrane Library and Pubmed to find articles, published until March 2020, dealing with the conservative management of incontinence.
