Background: Bladder cancer is the most frequent malignancy that affects the urinary tract. Studies have shown different types of FGFR3 and HRAS genes mutations in human bladder cancer, with a comprehensive range of mutation number in various populations.
The aim of this study was to determine whether there was a difference in patient education when comparing traditional conversation-based patient counseling with multimedia-based patient counseling about stress and urgency urinary incontinence.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous adult live cultured buccal epithelial cells (AALBEC) in treatment and management of bulbar urethral stricture in men. This was a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm phase 2b study.
Burch urethropexy is one of the earliest and most effective surgeries for stress urinary incontinence. Minimally invasive robotic surgery is becoming more popular in the field of urogynecology. Herein, we present the safety and efficacy of a large case series of robotic-assisted Burch urethropexy.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate gland (HoLEP) is an alternative to the traditional transurethral resection of the prostate, especially for large-volume prostates. One complication is urinary incontinence, which is usually stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
To explore the differences in managing urinary incontinence in residents in nursing homes aged 65 years or older in relation to their care dependency. The 2015 data of the Dutch annual independent (Inter)national Prevalence Measurement of Quality of Care of Maastricht University were used.
To evaluate whether retropubic midurethral sling combined with onabotulinumtoxinA is more effective than sling alone in improving mixed urinary incontinence symptoms. We conducted a prospective, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial of women with mixed urinary incontinence, planning to undergo midurethral sling.
A prospective evaluation of outcomes in a series of patients with post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) treated with two different devices is presented. Consecutive patients with PPI underwent interventions with an adjustable transobturator male system (ATOMS) or artificial urinary sphincter (AUS).
Quality of life (QOL) can be significantly impacted by symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). Vibegron is a highly selective β3 -adernergic receptor agonist that showed efficacy in treatment of symptoms of OAB in the randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled phase 3 EMPOWUR trial.
Maintaining urinary continence is not an automatic process, but relies on continuous processing of sensory signals from the bladder and suppression of the desire to void. Urinary incontinence (UI) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including urinary urgency, frequency, and nocturia are highly prevalent among the general population.
