The treatment of overactive bladder syndrome (OABS) by percutaneous pelvic nerve stimulation (PTNS) is usually recommended as a third line treatment. The purpose of this work was to compare PTNS alone on idiopathic OABS in women against a treatment combining PTNS and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT).
Comparison of the effects of trospium and solifenacin used for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) on intraocular pressure (IOP) and tear secretion. This study was planned as a prospective study and was conducted at a single center between October 2014 and April 2016.
To evaluate the impact of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (posterior approach) on early recovery of urinary continence (UC) compared to the conventional approach (anterior approach) for the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa).
Reduced kidney function and distorted kidney anatomy in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) may complicate stone interventions more compared with the general population.
The incidence and prevalence of kidney stones have increased over the past four decades. However, the diagnosis of ‘kidney stone’ can range from an incidental asymptomatic finding of limited clinical significance to multiple painful episodes of ureteral obstruction with eventual kidney failure.
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of paediatric urolithiasis are required to avoid long term sequelae of renal damage. To systematically review the literature regarding the diagnostic imaging modalities and treatment approaches for paediatric urolithiasis.
The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a life-attenuated form of Mycobacterium bovis widely used as immunotherapy for localized bladder cancer. Adverse reactions to intravesical BCG instillations are rare.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common, distressing health issue which affects many women. Mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgeries are recommended as gold standard interventions, although evidence regarding their impact on female sexual function remains controversial.
To examine long-term risks and predictors of mesh erosion and reoperation following midurethral sling (MUS) procedure for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Women aged 18 years or older who received a MUS procedure for SUI between 2008 and 2016 in outpatient surgical settings in New York State were included in our study.
We explain environmental and genetic factors determining male genetic conditions and infertility and evaluate the significance of environmental stressors in shaping defensive responses, which is used in the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility.
