INTRODUCTION: Improved life expectancy and prenatal screening have changed the demographics of spina bifida (spinal dysraphism) which has presently become a disease of adulthood. Urinary disorders affect almost all patients with spinal dysraphism and are still the leading cause of mortality in these patients. The aim of this work was to establish recommendations for urological management that take into account the specificities of the spina bifida population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: National Diagnosis and Management Guidelines (PNDS) were drafted within the framework of the French Rare Diseases Plan at the initiative of the Centre de Référence Maladies Rares Spina Bifida - Dysraphismes of Rennes University Hospital. It is a collaborative work involving experts from different specialties, mainly urologists and rehabilitation physicians. We conducted a systematic search of the literature in French and English in the various fields covered by these recommendations in the MEDLINE database. In accordance with the methodology recommended by the authorities (Guide_methodologique_pnds.pdf, 2006), proposed recommendations were drafted on the basis of this literature review and then submitted to a review group until a consensus was reached. RESULTS: Bladder dysfunctions induced by spinal dysraphism are multiple and varied and evolve over time. Management must be individually adapted and take into account all the patient's problems, and is therefore necessarily multi-disciplinary. Self-catheterisation is the appropriate micturition method for more than half of the patients and must sometimes be combined with treatments aimed at suppressing any neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) or compliance alteration (anticholinergics, intra-detrusor botulinum toxin). Resort to surgery is sometimes necessary either after failure of non-invasive treatments (e.g. bladder augmentation in case of NDO resistant to pharmacological treatment), or as a first line treatment in the absence of other non-invasive alternatives (e.g. aponeurotic suburethral tape or artificial urinary sphincter for sphincter insufficiency; urinary diversion by ileal conduit if self-catheterisation is impossible). CONCLUSION: Spinal dysraphism is a complex pathology with multiple neurological, orthopedic, gastrointestinal and urological involvement. The management of bladder and bowel dysfunctions must continue throughout the life of these patients and must be integrated into a multidisciplinary context.

BACKGROUND: Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a proven surgical technique for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, its challenging learning curve prevents its widespread adoption by urologists. The aim of this study was to analyse the learning curve of HoLEP and to determine the factors accelerating it. METHODS: This was a retrospective, monocentric cohort study of the first 60 cases of HoLEP performed by three operators. The primary outcome measure was operative efficiency, defined as the ratio of preoperative prostate volume estimated by trans-abdominal ultrasound (TAUS)to total surgical time in minutes. The studied learning curve parameters included the number of previously performed cases (NPPCs) and monthly case density (CD) (number of monthly performed cases before the studied one). RESULTS: Overall, 180 patients with a mean age of 71 (±9) years and a mean prostate volume (g) of 80.4 (±41) were included. The mean operative efficiency in the population was 0.74 (±0.37) g/min. Operative efficiency was increased in patients who had been operated on by surgeons with a CD ≥3 (CD ≤2: 0.66 (±0.27) g/min vs. CD ≥3: 0.79 (±0.43) g/min; P=0.012). At 3months, 46 patients (29%) developed stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Early SUI was significantly decreased in patients who had been operated on by surgeons with a CD ≥3 (CD ≤2: 37%, (n=26) vs CD ≥3: 22%, (n=20); P=0.045). CONCLUSIONS: A high frequency HoLEP procedures, set as one case per week, appeared to accelerate learning curves by improving operative efficiency. A high CD was also associated with reduced rates of early SUI. LEVEL OF PROOF: 5.

INTRODUCTION: The management of bladder pain syndrome (BPS) in our center is standardized although there is no real consensus and recommendations. The objectives of our study were to assess the effectiveness of the treatment offered and to identify predictive factors of response to treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Single-center retrospective study including all patients with BPS. Patient and outcome measures included ICSI and ICPI scores, daytime voiding interval (DVI), nocturnal pollakiuria (NPK), and subjective satisfaction (SS). The complete care protocol (CCP) was based on a hydrodistension test followed by a cimetidine treatment then by 6 instillations of dimethyl sulfoxide followed by a maintenance treatment with pentosan polysulfate. The main objective of our study was the patient's SS at 3months and at medium term. One of the secondary objectives was to study the predictive factors of response to treatment. OUTCOMES: From 2002 to 2019, 211 patients (90.5% women) were treated for BPS. Sixty-nine patients (35%) underwent the CCP that provided significant improvement in ICSI, ICPI, DVI and NPK and SS of 52.2%.). In the medium term, 149 patients were reassessed with a median follow-up of 99.6months (±3.6): 71.8% were satisfied and 54.2% were no longer receiving treatment. Among the 49 patients who initially received PSC, 74% were satisfied at 89.8 months of median follow-up (±2.9). In multivariate analysis, patients with a pain perception disorder (HR=0.17 IC95=0.05-0.52; P=0.002) or consuming anxiolytics (HR=0.3; IC95=0.13-0.69; P=0.004) had a statistically greater risk of not being satisfied. CONCLUSION: In our study, the CCP achieves subjective medium-term satisfaction in nearly 75% of patients with BPS. These data deserve to be confirmed on a larger scale in a prospective protocol.

INTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence after High Intensity Focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a poorly documented issue. To our knowledge, no study has evaluated the outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) after HIFU. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of AUS for post-HIFU urinary incontinence. METHODS: The charts of all male patients who underwent an AUS implantation between 2004 and 2020 in 13 centers were reviewed retrospectively. Only men with a history of HIFU were included. The primary endpoint was social continence at 3 months defined as wearing 0 to 1 pad per day. RESULTS: Out of 1318 procedures, nine men were implanted with an AUS after HIFU including four men with an history of pelvic irradiation: 3 pelvic radiation therapy and 1 prostatic brachytherapy. The patients were divided into two groups, 5 in the HIFU group without a history of pelvic irradiation, 4 patients in the HIRX group with a history of pelvic irradiation. The median age was 74 years (IQR 71-76). There was no perioperative complication. The median follow-up was 47.5 (IQR 25-85.5) months. Social continence at 3 months was 75% in the total cohort: 80% in the HIFU group and 67% in the HIRX group. CONCLUSION: AUS implantation may provide satisfactory long-term functional outcomes in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence resulting from HIFU. Larger series are needed to confirm these findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence of serious complications and reoperations for recurrence after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and compare the three most common types of repair. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study using a registry. SETTING: Nineteen French surgical centres. POPULATION: A total of 2309 women participated between 2017 and 2019. METHODS: A multivariate analysis including an inverse probability of treatment weighting approach was used to obtain three comparable groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serious complications and subsequent reoperations for POP recurrence. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 17.6 months. Surgeries were native tissue vaginal repairs (n = 504), transvaginal mesh placements (n = 692) and laparoscopic sacropexies with mesh (n = 1113). Serious complications occurred among 52 women (2.3%), and reoperation for POP recurrence was required for 32 women (1.4%). At 1 year the cumulative weighted incidence of serious complications was 1.8% for native tissue vaginal repair, 3.9% for transvaginal mesh and 2.2% for sacropexy, and the rates for reoperation for recurrence of POP were 1.5, 0.7 and 1.1%, respectively. Compared with native tissue vaginal repair, the risk of serious complications was higher in the transvaginal mesh group (weighted hazard ratio, wHR 3.84, 95% CI 2.43-6.08) and the sacropexy group (wHR 2.48, 95% CI 1.45-4.23), whereas the risk of reoperation for prolapse recurrence was lower in both the transvaginal mesh (wHR 0.22, 95% CI 0.13-0.39) and sacropexy (wHR 0.29, 95% CI 0.18-0.47) groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that native tissue vaginal repairs have the lowest risk of serious complications but the highest risk of reoperation for recurrence. These results are useful for informing women and for shared decision making. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Laparoscopic sacropexy had fewer serious complications than transvaginal mesh and fewer reoperations for recurrence than vaginal repair.

PURPOSE: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in female patients results in high satisfaction rates and high functional outcomes, but implantation can be challenging and explantation of the device is fairly common. The objective of this study was to review outcomes after AUS explantation in women. METHODS: This is a retrospective, monocentric study of all women who underwent open or laparoscopic AUS implantation between November 1994 and July 2019, and patients with AUS explantation were included. Management after AUS explantation using descriptive analysis was assessed. RESULTS: Over a span of 26 years, 111 women had an AUS implanted by a single surgeon. Of these surgeries, 35 explantations in 29 patients were later required: 20 initial AUSs, nine revised AUSs and six reimplanted AUS (rAUSs). The median time to explantation was 15.5 month (± 0.55). After explantation, 13 rAUSs in 10 patients were successful and two attempts failed. The median time between explantation and rAUS was 8 months (± 0.95). At the last follow-up, five patients still had their rAUS and six rAUSs had required explantation after a median time of 6.5 months (± 0.65). Surgery was still possible for 12 patients who did not have a rAUS: three cystectomies, one bladder neck closure with continent urinary diversion, and six mid-urethral slings or adjustable continence therapy balloon implantations. Among the 23 patients who did not need a cystectomy or a bladder neck closure with continent urinary diversion, four were completely dry (17.4%), 11 were improved (47.8%), and eight (34.8%) experienced unchanged incontinence with the post-explantation management. Limitations include retrospective design, heterogeneous management over time and a relatively small population of patients in our cohort. CONCLUSION: Reimplantation of an AUS after an explantation seems feasible after at least 6 months. However, the surgery will be more difficult and satisfaction is not guaranteed. Multicenter databases should be created to help surgeons and patients decide on appropriate management strategies after explantation of an AUS.

PURPOSE: Management of pregnancy and delivery in women with lower urinary tract reconstruction is challenging and the currently available literature is insufficient to guide clinical practice. We report pregnancy and delivery outcomes in this specific population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a national multicenter retrospective study (16 centers) including 68 women with 96 deliveries between 1998 and 2019. These women had at least 1 successful pregnancy and delivery after augmentation enterocystoplasty, catheterizable channel creation and/or artificial urinary sphincter implantation. Maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy and delivery were reported, as well as postpartum functional outcomes, according to the delivery mode. The chi-square test and Student's t-test were used to compare categorical and continuous variables, respectively. RESULTS: Overall 32% of reported pregnancies were complicated by febrile urinary tract infections, 13.5% by renal colic and 14.6% required upper urinary tract diversion. In addition, 10% of patients reported transient self-catheterization difficulties and 13.5% reported de novo or increased urinary incontinence. The preterm delivery rate was 35.3%. Elective C-section was performed in 61% of pregnancies. Twenty complications occurred during delivery (20%), including 19 during elective C-section. Urinary continence at 1 year was unchanged for 93.5% of deliveries. Delivery mode (p=0.293) and multiparity (p=0.572) had no impact on urinary continence. CONCLUSIONS: In this population C-section appeared to be associated with a high risk of complications. In the absence of any obstetric or neurological contraindications, vaginal delivery should be proposed as the first line option to the majority of these women.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the morbidity of the practice of daily self-dilatation (SD) in patients undergoing total prostatectomy, who have had artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) for urinary incontinence (UI) and who have had a recurrence of endoscopically treated vesicourethral anastomosis (VUS) stenosis. MATERIALS AND METHOD: One hundred and thirty-eight patients with SUA for urinary incontinence (UI) fitted between 1998 and 2007 were divided into two groups. Thirty-five patients have had used self-dilatation (SD) for recurrent anastomotic stenosis (SD group) and 103 patients did not perform SD (non-SD group). These two groups were compared for explantation rate (erosion-infection), revision rate (urethral atrophy and mechanical failure) and 2-year functional results. The uni- and multivariate statistical analysis taken into consideration confounding factors such as age and radiotherapy history. The functional assessment was done by the validated IQoL, Ditrovie and MHU tests. RESULTS: Patients in both groups were comparable except for the importance of urinary incontinence assessed by PAD test and questionnaires. The explantation rate was significantly higher in the "SD" group (28.5% vs 7.77%) and (OR=4.68, 95% CI [1.490-15.257], P=0.006). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the surgical revision rate (32% vs 20%, OR=0.44, P=0.09). The functional results at two years did not show any significant difference. CONCLUSIONS: The use of self-dilation for recurrence of stenosis of vesicourethral anastomosis after prostatectomy exposes patients fitted with an SUA to a higher explantation rate. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the short-term incidence of serious complications of surgery for urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. DESIGN: Prospective longitudinal cohort study using a surgical registry. SETTING: Thirteen public hospitals in France. POPULATION: A cohort of 1873 women undergoing surgery between February 2017 and August 2018. METHODS: Preliminary analysis of serious complications after a mean follow-up of 7 months (0-18 months), according to type of surgery. Surgeons reported procedures and complications, which were verified by the hospitals' information systems. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serious complication requiring discontinuation of the procedure or subsequent surgical intervention, life-threatening complication requiring resuscitation, or death. RESULTS: Fifty-two women (2.8%, 95% CI 2.1-3.6%) experienced a serious complication either during surgery, requiring the discontinuation of the procedure, or during the first months of follow-up, necessitating a subsequent reoperation. One woman also required resuscitation; no women died. Of 811 midurethral slings (MUSs), 11 were removed in part or totally (1.4%, 0.7-2.3%), as were two of 391 transvaginal meshes (0.5%, 0.1-1.6%), and four of 611 laparoscopically placed mesh implants (0.7%, 0.2-1.5%). The incidence of serious complications 6 months after the surgical procedure was estimated to be around 3.5% (2.0-5.0%) after MUS alone, 7.0% (2.8-11.3%) after MUS with prolapse surgery, 1.7% (0.0-3.8%) after vaginal native tissue repair, 2.8% (0.9-4.6%) after transvaginal mesh, and 1.0% (0.1-1.9%) after laparoscopy with mesh. CONCLUSIONS: Early serious complications are relatively rare. Monitoring must be continued and expanded to assess the long-term risk associated with mesh use and to identify its risk factors. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: Short-term serious complications are rare after surgery for urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, even with mesh.

INTRODUCTION: The intravesical instillation of dimethyl sulfoxide (iDMSO), performed without anesthestic, is a therapeutic option for the painful bladder syndrome/interstial cystitis (PBS/IC). Some patients are against those iDMSO because of bad tolerance. Our study evaluates the tolerance and the outcome of the iDMSO under general anesthetic (GA) after the failure of the iDMSO without anesthetic. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From May 2013 to April 2016, 11 patients with a PBS, 9 women (81.8 %), have been treated by iDMSO without anesthetic, without improvement because of bad tolerance and no possibility to have a one hour contact between the bladder and the DMSO. The 11 patients were evaluated by mictional calendar and Sant O'Leary score. All the patients had a hydrodistension and a per os treatment without improvement. OUTCOMES: Six new iDMSO were performed under general anesthetic in ambulatory surgery with good tolerance for the 11 patients. The frequency and the nocturia before iDMSO without anesthetic and after iDMSO under general anesthetic were 32.2minutes [15; 60] and 6.3 per night [3; 10] and 126.9minutes [25; 240] and 3 per night [2; 6], so a variation respectively of 96.4minutes [0; 180] and of 3.75 per night [2; 6]. The symptom score and the problem index were 17.5 [13; 20] and 15.5 [13; 16] before and 13.5 [4; 20] and 12 [1; 16] after iDMSO under general anesthetic; a variation of 3.2 [0; 9] and 4 [0; 12]. CONCLUSION: The iDMSO under general anesthetic seems to improve objectively and subjectively the patients who are not improved by the instillations without anesthetic because of bad tolerance. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

OBJECTIVE: The mid urethral sling (MUS) has become as the gold standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in female. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of the SUI Transobturator Tape after 10 years follow-up. METHODS: Retrospective study of 73 patients who underwent a mid urethral sling-transoburator tape (MUS-TOT) between November 2002 and November 2004. These patients were followed up by phone call and by mail, 10 years after the surgery. The indication of the MUS-TOT was a stress urinary incontinence, yet 26 patients (35.6 %) had a mixed urinary incontinence. RESULTS: Out of 73 patients, 5 patients were excluded. Sixty-eight patients were contacted. The rate of responders was 72 %. Thirty-four patients (69.3 %) described episodes of urinary incontinence (52.9 % SUI, 47.1 % urgency). Fifteen patients (30.7 %) were continent. Among the patients who had incontinence, 26 (76.5 %) needed protections during the day and 18 (52.9 %) had to change them at least once. Twelve patients (35.3 %) needed protections at night and 3 (8.8 %) had to change it at least once. Thirty-nine patients (79.6 %) were satisfied. Twenty-nine patients filled up the Ditrovie questionnaire (42.6 %). The mean score of Ditrovie questionnaire after 10 years was 1.6±0.7, with a real improvement in comparison with the preoperative score (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Ten years after MUS-TOT treatment, the continence rate was low, even though the patients included in this study had high satisfaction rate. Several limitations should be taken into consideration in this study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a guide dedicated to general practitioner for the diagnosis, the follow-up, and the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHOD: Guidelines already published for urologists were modified to make them relevant for general practitioners. The role of specialist's referral was defined. The whole content of the document was submitted to the formal consensus process in which urologists and general medicine teachers were involved. RESULTS: Initial assessment has several aims: making sure that LUTS are related to BPH, assessing bother related to LUTS, and checking for a possible complication. Initial assessment should include: medical history, physical examination with digital rectal examination, and urinalysis. Some other explorations such as frequency volume chart, serum PSA or creatinine, and ultrasonography of the urinary tract were found optional, meaning they are necessary only in specific situations. Referring to urologist is justified when LUTS might not be related to BPH (particularly when urgencies are predominant), or when a severe bladder outlet obstruction is suspected (severe symptoms, palpable bladder, post-voiding residual volume>100ml), or when a complication is assessed. Follow-up without treatment is justified for patients with no bothersome symptoms related to not complicated BPH. Several drugs are available for the treatment of bothersome symptoms related to BPH. Alpha-blockers and plants extracts might be offered as monotherapy. Five alpha reductase inhibitors might be offered to patients with LUTS related to a significant prostate hypertrophy (>40 ml) ; they might be given for a minimum duration of one year, alone or in association with alpha-blocker. The association of antimuscarinic and alpha-blocker might be used in patients with persistent storage LUTS in spite of alpha-blocker treatment. Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors might be offered to patients with erectile dysfunction associated with LUTS related to BPH. In case of complicated BPH, or when medical treatment is not efficacious or not tolerated, a surgical option should be discussed. CONCLUSION: The male lower urinary tract symptom committee of the French Urological Association and general practitioner present the first guide for the management of LUTS related to BPH dedicated to general practitioner. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the oncological results of a population of patients which undergo surveillance after diagnosis of stage I testicular seminoma (2, 5 and 8 years overall, specific and recurrence free survival). We also research recurrence risk factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We have looked at the data of all patients treated in our center since 1993 for a grade I testicular seminoma. We focused on age at diagnosis, biological (tumoral markers) and pathological (tumor size, rete testis, lymphovascular, tunica albuginea or spermatic cord invasion) data. During surveillance, we noted the number, the localization and the interval until recurrence and death. We calculated 2, 5 and 8 years overall, specific and recurrence-free survival and searched recurrence risk factors. RESULTS: Sixty-nine patients (mean age: 37) were followed during a mean time of 97 months. Sixty-three per cent of the tumours were less than 4 cm (50 lesions). Lymphovascular, rete testis, spermatic cord and tunica albuginea invasion were present in respectively 21%, 33%, 4% and 29% of the cases. LDH and HCG were above normal rate in respectively 44 and 27% of the cases. Eighteen patients (23%) relapsed at a mean time of 12 months. Recurrence-free survival was respectively 81%, 77% and 77% at 2, 5 and 8 years. Tumor size<4 cm (P = 0.002), rete testis invasion (P = 0.03) and stage ≥ pT2 (P = 0.012) were associated with recurrence in univariate analysis. Using multivariate analysis, only tumor size >4 cm was a recurrence risk factor (risk multiplied by 3). At the end of the study, 77 patients are alive (97.5%). Overall and specific survival was 97.5% at 2, 5 and 8 years. CONCLUSION: We show here the interest of surveillance in case of stage 1 testicular seminoma. The overall and specific survivals are the same as after chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Furthermore, we confirm the role of tumor size to stratify recurrence risk.

OBJECTIVES: To assess morbidity and functional consequences of laparoscopic cystectomy with ileal conduit urinary diversion: in neurologic patients. MATERIALS: We reviewed the records of forty-two patients (ten men and thirty-two women) who underwent surgery between August 2007 and October 2013. The median age of the patient was 54 years old (range between 21-79 years). A laparoscopic cystectomy was performed followed by a short laparotomy to perform the ileal conduit urinary diversion. Records were reviewed to retrieve the indications and describe the postoperative and functional course. Patients and GPs were interviewed during phone calls to appreciate the quality of life by the PGII scale in order to assess the functional outcome. RESULTS: The operation was performed on 42 patients, of whom 18 had multiple sclerosis, nine a post-traumatic neurogenic bladder. Among the total population, 10 patients (23.81%) required a transfusion of at least one packed red blood cells (1-7). The overall rate of early complications was 35.71%. Belated complications were seen in 52.38% of the population. The median duration of hospital stay was 16 days (range between 9-70 days). The median follow up was 34 months (range between 1-76 months). For patients, the PGII scale rating had a median value of 6 (2-7). All referring physicians described a better functional status. CONCLUSION: The laparoscopic cystectomy can make postoperative course smoother for the neurological patients. However, the surgeon must weigh individually the benefit of performing the operation.

INTRODUCTION: Botulinum toxin-A detrusor injections are now approved for use (extension of marketing authorization) in the management of refractory idiopathic overactive bladder. The goal of the current study was to study the value and efficacy of this therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A literature review was performed on Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases, using the following keywords: botulinum toxin; overactive bladder syndrome; urinary incontinence; detrusor injection. RESULTS: The recommended first step dose is 50 units of BOTOX(©) (dose selected for tolerance assessment). However, the cure rates for urge incontinence are greater with 100 units. Before proposing an injection, it is recommended to ensure the feasibility and acceptability of self-catheterisation by the patient, because of the risk of urinary retention (6%). The administration of BOTOX(©) comprises an intra-detrusor injection using a cystoscope, performed under local anesthesia. Clinical improvement is generally observed in the first two weeks after the injection. Patients should be considered for reinjection when the clinical effect of the previous injection has diminished, approximately 6-9 months after the first injection. An injection of 100 units may be considered when the clinical benefit of the 50-unit injection is not satisfactory concerning incontinence symptoms. CONCLUSION: Botulinum toxin detrusor injections may be offered to women who develop refractory OAB.

PURPOSE: To report our experience with Flexible Ureteroscopy-laser (FU-L) in the treatment of renal and/or ureteric stones. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study of 191 kidney and/or ureteric stones treated in the urology department of New Civil Hospital (Strasbourg) over a period of 2 years. Two hundred and nineteen FU-L were performed. We were interested in the indications of FU-L, its complications, treatment outcomes and predictors of obtaining a stone-free outcome. Postoperative complications were reported according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. RESULTS: The indications were first line in 62.3% of cases, failures of shock wave lithotripsy in 26.2% of cases and failure of alkalinization of urine in 5.2% of cases. As intraoperative complications, we had one case of ureteropelvic avulsion and one case of bronchospasm leading to stop ureteroscopy. Postoperative complications occurred after 38 FU-L (17.3%). All grades combined these postoperative complications were infectious in 50% of cases. They were grade I, II, III, IV and V respectively in 5.9; 7.3; 2.7; 1.3 et 0% of cases. Their occurrence was not significantly correlated to the size of the stones or the unilateral or bilateral nature of the FU-L. The overall rate of stone-free was 71.7%. The factors determining significantly a stone-free outcome were the size of kidney stone and experience of the operator. CONCLUSION: In our center, the FU-L is increasingly used as first-line option due to its low morbidity and excellent results especially for the treatment of kidney stones less than 20mm and ureteric stones. It is a quality alternative to PCNL in kidney stones over 20mm.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of postoperative male stress urinary incontinence surgery using the I-STOP TOMS(®) sub-urethral sling. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Between April 2007 and August 2012, 29 patients had been treated by sub-urethral sling. Stress urinary incontinence was classified as mild, moderate or severe according to the number of pads per day. Patients were also assessed thanks to IQOL, MHU and Ditrovie self-administered questionnaires. RESULTS: Before surgery, 16 patients (55.2%) had mild incontinence, 12 (41.4%) had moderate incontinence and one (3.4%) had severe incontinence. Preoperative median MHU was 9 (5-12); median IQOL was 73 (58-88); and median Ditrovie was 2.7 (2.1-3.3). Three months after surgery, median MHU was 7 (4-9); median IQOL was 85 (75-99); and median Ditrovie was 2.1 (1.6-2.4). Pre- and postoperative questionnaires scores show a significant improvement for IQOL (P=0.014) and Ditrovie (P<0.001). After 3 months, six patients were dry (20.7%), 19 patients had mild incontinence (65.5%) and four had moderate incontinence (13.8%); in résumé 17 patients (58.6%) showed a significant improvement in the number of pads (20.7% dry, 37.9% improved). After a mean follow-up of 24 ± 19.9 months, five patients were dry (17.2%), 20 patients (69%) had mild incontinence and four had moderate incontinence (13.8%). CONCLUSION: I-STOP TOMS(®) sub-urethral sling improved the level of postoperative stress urinary incontinence. However, the continence rate was weak.
