RESUMO
PURPOSE: To compare the outcomes of patients undergoing robotic YV plasty for bladder neck contracture (BNC) vs. vesico-urethral anastomotic stricture (VUAS). METHODS: A retrospective study included male patients who underwent robotic YV plasty for BNC after endoscopic treatment of BPH or VUAS between August 2019 and March 2023 at a single academic center. The primary assessed was the patency rate at 1 month post-YV plasty and during the last follow-up visit. RESULTS: A total of 21 patients were analyzed, comprising 6 in the VUAS group and 15 in the BNC group. Patients with VUAS had significantly longer operative times (277.5 vs. 146.7 min; p = 0.008) and hospital stay (3.2 vs. 1.7 days; p = 0.03). Postoperative complications were more common in the VUAS group (66.7% vs. 26.7%; p = 0.14). All patients resumed spontaneous voiding postoperatively. Five patients (23.8%) who developed de novo stress urinary incontinence had already an AUS (n = 1) or required concomitant AUS implantation (n = 3), all of whom were in the VUAS group (83.3% vs. 0%; p < 0.0001). The proportion of patients improved was similar in both groups (PGII = 1 or 2: 83.3% vs. 80%; p = 0.31). Stricture recurrence occurred in 9.5% of patients in the whole cohort, with no significant difference between the groups (p = 0.50). Long-term reoperation was required in three VUAS patients, showing a statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION: Robotic YV plasty is feasible for both VUAS and BNC. While functional outcomes and stricture-free survival may be similar for both conditions, the perioperative outcomes were less favorable for VUAS patients.

INTRODUCTION: Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) has a major impact on patients' quality of life and can lead to upper urinary tract complications. Intradetrusor botulinum toxin type A injections are administered as second-line treatment to these patients following the failure of anticholinergic agents. The aim of the DETOX 2 study is to propose a consensus definition of the failure of intradetrusor botulinum toxin injections for NDO in patients presenting spinal cord injury, spina bifida, or multiple sclerosis (MS) with self-catheterization. METHOD: This study followed the method adopted by the French National Authority for Health for recommendations by consensus. Based on a review of the literature and a preliminary survey, a steering committee compiled a questionnaire and selected a rating group comprising 16 experts from the Neuro-Urology Committee of the French Urology Association (cnuAFU) and Genulf. The experts were asked to complete the online questionnaire. At the end of the first round, all participants came together to discuss any disagreements and a second-round online questionnaire was completed to reach a consensus. RESULTS: Thirteen of the 16 experts approached completed both rounds of questionnaires. A strong consensus was reached for two proposals (median score = 9/10) which were therefore included in the definition from the first round: at least one repeat injection of the same botulinum toxin at the same dose must be given to rule out failure on technical grounds and a duration of efficacy <3 months must be considered a failure. At the end of round 2, a relative consensus was reached regarding the clinical criterion defining failure (median score = 7/10) and the urodynamic criterion of failure (median score = 8/10). An additional proposal was selected during this second round on the need for a voiding diary (median score = 8/10). CONCLUSION: The first consensus definition of failure of an intradetrusor injection of TB-A for NDO has been achieved with this study: persistence of detrusor overactivity with maximum detrusor pressures >40 cm H2O and/or a compliance issue and/or persistence of urinary incontinence and/or urgency and/or a number of daily self-catheterizations >8/day and/or efficacy <3 months. This study will help to standardize research on the failure of the intradetrusor botulinum toxin for NDO in clinical practice and clinical research.

BACKGROUND: While intravesical injections of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) are currently recommended for patients experiencing refractory neurogenic overactive bladder and/or detrusor overactivity (OAB/DO), it is unclear how much this therapy is effective and sustainable in the long-term in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVES: To assess the mid-term continuation rate of BoNT-A injections to treat neurogenic OAB/DO in MS patients and to investigate MS-specific risk factors for discontinuation. METHODS: This retrospective study involved 11 French university hospital centers. All MS patients who received BoNT-A to treat neurogenic OAB/DO between 2008 and 2013 and were subsequently followed up for at least 5 years were eligible. RESULTS: Of the 196 MS patients included, 159 (81.1%) were still under BoNT-A 5 years after the first injection. The combination of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS < 6 or ⩾ 6) and of the MS type (relapsing-remitting vs progressive) predicted the risk of discontinuation. This risk was 5.5% for patients with no risk factor, whereas patients presenting with one or two risk factors were 3.3 and 5.7 times more likely to discontinue, respectively. CONCLUSION: BoNT-A is a satisfying mid-term neurogenic OAB/DO therapy for most MS patients. Combining EDSS and MS type could help predict BoNT-A discontinuation.

PURPOSE: To analyze trends in worldwide public interest in the treatment options for stress urinary incontinence around the latest FDA 2019 ban on vaginal mesh for prolapse. METHODS: We used the web-based tool Google Trends to analyse online searches related to the following terms: 'pelvic floor muscle exercises', 'continence pessary', 'pubovaginal slings', 'Burch colposuspension', 'midurethral slings', 'injectable bulking agents'. Data were expressed as relative search volume on a scale of 0-100. Comparisons of annual relative search volume and average annual percentage change, were analyzed to assess loss or gain of interest. Finally, we assessed the impact of the last FDA alert. RESULTS: The mean annual relative search volume for midurethral slings was 20% in 2006 and significantly decreased until 8% in 2022 (p < 0.01). A regular decrease interest was recorded for autologous surgeries but a regain of interest for pubovaginal slings was registered since 2020 (+ 2.8%; p < 0.01). Conversely, a steep interest was noted for injectable bulking agents (average annual percentage change: + 4.4%; p < 0.01) and conservative therapies (p < 0.01). When trends were compared before and after the FDA 2019 alert, a lower research volume was found for midurethral slings, while a higher research volume was observed all others treatments (all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The online public researches about midurethral slings have considerably decreased following warnings on the use of transvaginal mesh. There seems to be a growing interest in conservative measures, bulking agents, and recently pubovaginal slings.

PURPOSE: Neurogenic bladder associated with spina bifida disease remains a major cause for mortality or morbidity due to kidney damages. However, we currently do not know which urodynamic findings are associated with an higher risk of upper tract damages in spina bifida patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate urodynamic findings associated with functional kidney failure and/or with morphological kidney damages. METHODS: A large single-center restrospective study was conducted in our national referral center for spina bifida patients using our patients' files. All urodynamics curves were assessed by the same examinator. Functional and/or morphological evaluation of the upper urinary tract were done at the same moment as the urodynamic exam (between 1 week before and 1 month after). Kidney function was assessed using creatinine serum levels or 24 h urinary creatinine levels (creatinine clearance) for walking patients, or with the 24 h urinary creatinine level for wheelchair-users. RESULTS: We included 262 spina bifida patients in this study. Fifty-five patients had a poor bladder compliance (21.4%) and 88 of them had detrusor overactivity (33.6%). Twenty patients had a stage 2 kidney failure (eGFR < 60 ml/min) and 81 patients out of 254 (30.9%) had an abnormal morphological examination. There were three urodynamic findings significantly associated with UUTD: bladder compliance (OR = 0.18; p = 0.007), Pdetmax (OR = 14.7; p = 0.003) and detrusor overactivity (OR = 1.84; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: In this large series of spina bifida patients, maximum detrusor pressure and bladder compliance are the main urodynamic findings determinants of UUTD risk.

PURPOSE: Persistence or recurrence of stress urinary incontinence (prSUI) after artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation may be secondary to non-mechanical failure (NOMECA). It have for long been assumed to result from urethral atrophy. Its existence is now debated. As the pathophysiology of NOMECA is not elucidated, the most appropriate management remains unclear. We aimed to compare the several revision techniques for NOMECA of AUS in men. METHODS: NOMECA was defined as prSUI, with normally functioning device, no erosion, infection or fluid loss. Exclusion criteria were neurogenic SUI, revision or explantation for other causes. From 1991 to 2022, 143 AUS revisions for NOMECA, including 99 cuff DOWNSIZING, 10 cuff repositioning (RELOC), 13 TANDEM-CUFF placement, 18 cuff changing (CHANGE), three increasing balloon pressure (BALLOON-UP), were performed in 10 centers. BALLOON-UP patients weren't included in comparative analysis due to small sample size. All components could be changed during the revision. Patients were also categorized in COMPLETE-CHANGE vs. PARTIAL-CHANGE of the device. RESULTS: The three-months complete continence rate was 70.8% with a significant difference between RELOC and DOWNSIZING groups (p = 0.04). COMPLETE CHANGE was significantly associated with complete continence status at three months in multivariate analysis (83.3% vs. 63.3%, OR = 2.7; CI 95% [1.1-7.1], p = 0.03). Estimated five-year reoperation-free and explantation-free survival were respectively 63.4% and 75.9% (p = 0.16; p = 0.30). Those were significantly longer in COMPLETE-CHANGE vs PARTIAL-CHANGE (82.2% vs. 69.6%, p = 0.03); (71.2% vs. 58.2%, p = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS: AUS revision for prSUI due to NOMECA yields satisfactory outcomes regardless of the technique used. We observed better functional outcomes when repositioning the new cuff. COMPLETE-CHANGE may improve functional outcomes, explantation-free and reoperation-free survivals.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to seek predictive factors and develop a predictive tool for sacral nerve modulation (SNM) implantation in patients with non-obstructive urinary retention and/or slow urinary stream (NOUR/SS). METHODS: This study was designed as a retrospective study including all patients who have undergone a two-stage SNM for NOUR/SS between 2000 and 2021 in 11 academic hospitals. The primary outcome was defined as the implantation rate. Secondary outcomes included changes in bladder emptying parameters. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis were performed and determined odds ratio for IPG implantation to build a predictive tool. The performance of the multivariable model discrimination was evaluated using the c-statistics and an internal validation was performed using bootstrap resampling. RESULTS: Of the 357 patients included, 210 (58.8%) were finally implanted. After multivariable logistic regression, 4 predictive factors were found, including age (≤ 52 yo; OR = 3.31 CI95% [1.79; 6.14]), gender (female; OR = 2.62 CI95% [1.39; 4.92]), maximal urethral closure pressure (≥ 70 cmH2O; OR: 2.36 CI95% [1.17; 4.74]), and the absence of an underlying neurological disease affecting the lower motor neuron (OR = 2.25 CI95% [1.07; 4.76]). Combining these factors, we established 16 response profiles with distinct IPG implantation rates, ranging from 8.7 to 81.5%. Internal validation found a good discrimination value (c-statistic, 0.724; 95% CI 0.660-0.789) with a low optimism bias (0.013). This allowed us to develop a predictive tool ( https://predictivetool.wixsite.com/void ). CONCLUSION: The present study identified 4 predictive factors, allowing to develop a predictive tool for SNM implantation in NOUR/SS patients, that may help in guiding therapeutic decision-making. External validation of the tool is warranted.

AIMS: Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an advanced therapy option for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB), nonobstructive urinary retention, and fecal incontinence. The aim of this ongoing prospective, multicenter, global, postmarket study is to confirm safety and clinical performance of the InterStimTM Micro system for SNM in all indications. Reported here are the results for the OAB cohort through 6-month follow-up. METHODS: Eligible OAB subjects that had a successful therapy evaluation were enrolled after implant of an InterStim Micro implantable pulse generator (IPG). Subjects completed voiding diaries and the Overactive Bladder Quality of Life questionnaire (OAB-q) at baseline and follow-up visits occurring at 3 months and 6 months postimplant. Safety was evaluated as device-, procedure-, or therapy-related adverse events. The primary objective for the OAB cohort was to demonstrate an improvement in OAB-q Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) total score at 3 months postimplant compared to baseline. RESULTS: Sixty-eight OAB subjects were enrolled and implanted with an InterStim Micro IPG. Of those, 67 and 66 subjects completed the 3- and 6-month follow-up visits, respectively. The OAB-q HRQL demonstrated a statistically significant improvement from baseline to 3-month follow-up with an average increase of 33 ± 24 points (n = 67, p < 0.001). The change was also observed at 6-months with an average increase of 31 ± 23 points (n = 65) compared to baseline. Eighty-two percent of subjects achieved the minimally important difference in HRQL score at 3- and 6-month, respectively, with a change of 10 points or greater. The majority of subjects reported that their bladder condition was better at 3-month (92.5%, 62/67) and 6-month (89%, 59/66) compared to before they were treated with SNM therapy delivered by the InterStim Micro system. For subjects with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), the average change from baseline to follow-up in UUI episodes/day was -3.6 (95% CI: -4.7, -2.6; n = 62) at 3-month and -3.7 (95% CI: -4.7, -2.7; n = 61) at 6-month. Among subjects with urgency-frequency (UF), the average change from baseline to follow up in voids/day was -4.5 (95% CI: -6.3, -2.7; n = 52) at 3-months and -4.4 (95% CI: -6.0, -2.7; n = 52) at 6-month. The cumulative incidence of device-, procedure-, or therapy- related adverse events was 7.4% (5/68). Out of these five related adverse events, there was one serious adverse event (1.5%, implant site pain) at the time of database snapshot. CONCLUSIONS: These data confirm the safety and clinical performance of the InterStim Micro device for subjects with OAB by demonstrating a significant improvement in OAB-q HRQL score at 3-month. Similar improvements were observed at 6 months in addition to an incidence of adverse events that is comparable to previously reported rates for SNM.

AIM: To compare transanal irrigation with conservative bowel management for the treatment of bowel dysfunction in Spina bifida (SB) patients. METHODS: Patients with SB and bowel dysfunction were randomly assigned to receive either transanal irrigation or conservative bowel management. The effectiveness of the treatment was defined as a decrease of 4 points in the neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) score at week 10. Data on incontinence (Cleveland scores; Jorge-Wexner [JW]) and constipation (Knowles-Eccersley-Scott Symptom Constipation Score [KESS]) were recorded at 10 and 24 weeks after inclusion. Data were analysed on an intention-to-treat basis. RESULTS: A total of 34 patients were randomised: 16 patients to conservative bowel management and 18 patients to transanal irrigation. A total of 19/31 (61%) patients improved at week 10, 13 (76%) in the transanal irrigation group versus six (43%) in the conservative group (p = 0.056). In the irrigation group, the decrease in NBD score was -6.9 (-9.9 to -4.02) versus -1.9 (-6.5 to -2.8) in the conservative group (p = 0.049 in univariate and p = 0.004 in multivariate analysis). The NBD, Cleveland (JW and KESS) and Rosenberg scores were significantly lower in the transanal irrigation group than in the conservative bowel management group at week 10. CONCLUSIONS: This prospective, randomised, controlled, multicentre study in adult patients with SB suggests that transanal irrigation may be more effective than conservative bowel management.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: To assess the effectiveness, safety and risk factors of failure and complications associated with Adjustable Continence Therapy (ACT®) balloons as a treatment for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: In the present multicentric retrospective study, all women implanted with ACT® balloons between 2000 and 2018 were considered eligible. Effectiveness and safety were assessed at 1 year, and risk factors for failure and complications were sought. The effectiveness was categorized into three distinct groups: Success = maximum 1 pad/day and patient's impression of improvement using a numerical rating scale (NRS) ≥ 8/10; Improvement = decrease of daily pad use and NRS ≥ 5/10; Failure = increase or stability of daily pad use or NRS < 5/10. The intra- and postoperative surgical complications were collected. RESULTS: Over the study period, 281 women were included. Among them, 104 (37.0%), 94 (33.5%) and 83 (29.5%) were categorized as success, improvement, and failure, respectively. Intra-, early and late postoperative complications occurred in 13 (4.6%), 35 (12.5%) and 75 (26.7%) women, respectively. Most early surgical complications were minor according to the Dindo-Clavien classification. Of women that presented a late postoperative surgical complication, 64 (22.8%) underwent an explantation performed under local or general anesthesia without associated sequalae. CONCLUSIONS: The short-term effectiveness associated with ACT® balloons, their minimally invasive implantation and the frequent but easily manageable and sequelae-free complications suggest that they should be part of the therapeutic arsenal for female SUI.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a common occurrence after midurethral sling (MUS) insertion and can result in acute or chronic urinary retention or de novo lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). However, the management of BOO after MUS is not standardised. The objective of this study was to compare two therapeutic strategies for suspected BOO after MUS. METHODS: Patients who had surgical revision for voiding dysfunction with a post-void residual (PVR) ≥100 ml after MUS in five centres between 2005 and 2020 were included in a retrospective study. Patients were divided into two groups: early sling loosening (EL) vs delayed section/excision of the sling (DS). RESULTS: Seventy patients were included: 38 in the EL group and 32 in the DS group. The postoperative complication rate was comparable in both groups (10.5% vs 12.5%; p = 0.99). At 3 months, the rate of withdrawal from self-catheterisation was similar in the two groups (92.1% vs 100%; p = 0.25) as was the PVR (57.5 vs 63.5 ml; p = 0.09). After a median follow-up of 9 months, there were significantly more patients with resolved voiding dysfunction in the EL group (63.2% vs 31.3%; p = 0.01). The rate of persistent/recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) was higher in the DS group (21% vs 43.7%; p = 0.04). In multivariate analysis, the main predictive factor of recurrent SUI was DS (OR 2.87, 95% CI 1.01-8.60, p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS: Early loosening of MUS in the case of postoperative voiding dysfunction offers better efficacy than DS of the sling, with a lower risk of recurrent/persistent SUI.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Almost two decades after the description of robotic vesicovaginal fistula repair (R-VVF), the literature remains limited. The aims of this study are to report the outcomes of R-VVF and to compare the transvesical versus extravesical techniques. METHODS: We performed an observational, retrospective, multicenter study, including all patients who underwent R-VVF from March 2017 to September 2021 at four academic institutions. All abdominal VVF repair over the study period were performed using a robotic approach. The success of R-VVF was defined as the absence of clinical recurrence. The outcomes of the extravesical versus transvesical techniques were compared. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients were included. The median age was 43 years old (IQR 38-50). Fistulas were supratrigonal and trigonal in 18 and 4 cases respectively. Five patients had undergone previous attempts of fistula repair (22.7%). The fistulous tract was systematically excised, and an interposition flap was used in all but two cases (90.9%). The transvesical and extravesical techniques were used in 13 and 9 cases respectively. There were four postoperative complications, three minor and one major. None of the patients had vesicovaginal fistula recurrence after a median follow-up of 15 months. CONCLUSIONS: The present series, one of the largest R-VVF reported to date, is consistent with the few series already published with a 100% cure rate. Systematic excision of the fistulous tract and the high rate of flap interposition may explain the high success rate. The transvesical and extravesical approaches yielded similar outcomes.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of studies reporting the outcomes of ACT® balloons in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). METHODS: In accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) standards, a systematic search of the PubMed (Medline) and Scopus electronic database was performed in June 2022. Terms used for the query were ("female" or "women") and ("adjustable continence therapy" OR "periurethral balloons"). RESULTS: Thirteen studies were included. All were retrospective or prospective case series. The success rates ranged from 13.6% to 68% and the improvement rates from 16% to 83%. The intraoperative complication rate ranged from 3.5 to 25% and consisted of urethral, bladder, or vaginal perforations. The rate of postoperative complications varied from 11 to 56% without major complications. Between 6% and 38% of ACT® balloons were explanted and subsequently reimplanted in 15.2-63% of cases. CONCLUSION: ACT® balloons can be considered as an option to treat SUI due to ISD in female patients with a relatively modest success rate and quite a high complication rate. Well-designed prospective studies and long-term follow-up data are needed to fully elucidate their role.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to report the 30-day mortality (30DM) after renal trauma and identify the risk factors associated with death. METHODS: The TRAUMAFUF project was a retrospective multi-institutional study including all patients with renal trauma admitted to 17 French hospitals between 2005 and 2015. The included population focused on patients of all age groups who underwent renal trauma during the study period. The primary outcome was death within 30 days following trauma. The multivariate logistic regression model with a stepwise backward elimination was used to identify predictive factors of 30DM. RESULTS: Data on 1,799 renal trauma were recorded over the 10-year period. There were 59 deaths within 30 days of renal trauma, conferring a 30DM rate of 3.27%. Renal trauma was directly involved in 5 deaths (8.5% of all deaths, 0.3% of all renal trauma). Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that age >40 years (odds ratio [OR] 2.18; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20-3.99; p = 0.01), hemodynamic instability (OR 4.67; 95% CI: 2.49-9; p < 0.001), anemia (OR 3.89; 95% CI: 1.94-8.37; p < 0.001), bilateral renal trauma (OR 6.77; 95% CI: 2.83-15.61; p < 0.001), arterial contrast extravasation (OR 2.09; 95% CI: 1.09-3.96; p = 0.02), and concomitant visceral and bone injuries (OR 6.57; 95% CI: 2.41-23.14; p < 0.001) were independent predictors of 30DM. CONCLUSION: Our large multi-institutional study supports that the 30DM of 3.27% after renal trauma is due to the high degree of associated injuries and was rarely a consequence of renal trauma alone. Age >40 years, hemodynamic instability, anemia, bilateral renal trauma, arterial contrast extravasation, and concomitant visceral and bone lesions were predictors of death. These results can help clinicians to identify high-risk patients.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to report the rate of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) recurrence after sling revision, and to determine predictive factors of SUI recurrence. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a single academic center between 2005 and 2022, of patients who underwent sling revision. Four surgical techniques were used for sling revision (loosening, section, partial, and total excision). The primary endpoint was recurrence of SUI at 3 months postoperatively, and the other outcome of interest was the rate of subsequent anti-incontinence surgical procedure. RESULTS: Sixty-nine patients were included for analysis. SUI recurred in 46.4% of patients. Fifteen patients underwent a subsequent anti-incontinence procedure (21.8%). The time to revision was significantly longer in the group with recurrent SUI (median: 84.5 vs. 44.8 months; p = 0.004). The recurrence rate differed significantly depending on the revision technique: 7.7% after sling loosening, 22.2% after sling section, 60% after partial excision, and 66.7% after complete sling removal (p = 0.001). The risk of SUI recurrence was lower for those whose indication of reoperation was voiding dysfunction (27.3% vs. 66.7%; p = 0.002), and was higher for those who underwent a trans-obturator tap rather than a tension-free vaginal tape revision (68.4% vs. 35.7%; p = 0.02). In multivariate analysis, only the revision technique remained significantly associated with the risk of recurrence of SUI (complete excision vs. section: odds ratio = 4.66; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: The risk of SUI recurrence may differ widely according to the techniques used, and it seems that the less extensive the surgical procedure is, the lower the risk is.

Testis tumors are uncommon in oncology, and testicular metastasis from distant solid tumors are even rarer. We present two cases encountered in our department of pathology in CHU de Rennes, France. Moreover, we collected all reported cases in the Medline/PubMed databases of non-hematopoietic secondary testis tumors in adults, excluding autopsy studies, to propose an integrative study on this topic. In total, we report 98 cases of secondary testis lesions to prostate (n=38, 38.77 %), colorectal (n=19, 19.39%), gastric (n=12, 12.24%), kidney (n=7, 7.14%), lung (n=6, 6.12%) and other primary cancers. The median age at diagnosis was 66.5 years. We identified significantly more prostate adenocarcinoma (P<0.0001) when the primary tumor was known and significantly more colorectal adenocarcinoma (P=0.035) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (P=0.002) when the primary tumor was unknown. The age at diagnosis was older when the primary tumor was known (P=0.007). We present the challenges for the diagnosis and propose some elements for diagnosis orientation. Finally, we discuss the possible ways of metastatic dissemination from primary site to testis, as illustrated by the two cases we present.

OBJECTIVE: Neurogenic bladders can suffer from overactivity, underactivity or dyssynergia depending on the level of the initial lesion. These symptoms can lead to severe alterations of the upper urinary tract. One of the first-line treatments is the transcutaneous tibial posterior stimulation (TTNS), which was demonstrated to be efficient on urodynamics. But it is an invasive, expensive and sometimes not patient-accepted examination, contrary to the uroflowmetry. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a follow-up with a uroflowmetry when treated by TTNS and show that the maximum flow rate increased after treatment, displaying a better detrusor contraction. METHODS: In total, 38 patients with neurogenic bladder undergoing a 12-weeks TTNS treatment and with 2 uroflowmetries interpretable before and after treatment were included. The maximum flow rate (Qmax), the urinated volume and the post-void residual (PVR) were retrieved from the uroflowmetry, and the USP-score and the urinary discomfort were asked at each appointment. RESULTS: Qmax is increased from 17,53ml/s to 18,26ml/s, as well as the PVR (from 76,97ml to 79,16ml). Urinated volume is decreased from 241,4ml to 193,66ml. Patients feel enhanced after TTNS according to the decrease in the USP-score and the urinary discomfort scale. CONCLUSION: The increase of the cystomanometric capacity and the delay of the detrusor overactivity due to TTNS explains the reduction of the urinated volume and the increase of PVR. Increased Qmax might show a better voluntary bladder contraction, with a restraint due to the lack of abdominal pressure measurement during voiding.

OBJECTIVES: Transcutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation (TC-PTNS) is a validated option for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) management, with a short-term success rate of around 60% and few adverse events. Our goal was to report the efficacy and safety results of TC-PTNS using the newly issued device TENSI+ for LUTS management. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 7 urology departments in France. All patients treated with TC-PTNS for LUTS using the TENSI+ device between September 2021 and February 2022 were included. All patients received supervised at-home training by a specialized nurse. All patients were asked to do daily, 20minutes sessions of TC-PTNS. Patient demographics, history, initial symptoms and previous treatment were collected at inclusion. A follow-up visit was scheduled at 3 months. Efficacy was evaluated through treatment persistence at 3 months and PGI-I (Patient Global Impression of Improvement) score. Adverse events were recorded. RESULTS: One hundred and three patients (86 women and 17 men) were included. All patients had overactive bladder symptoms, 64 suffered from urgency incontinence, and 24 had associated voiding symptoms. Eighteen patients had neurogenic background, and 30 previously received anticholinergics. After a median follow-up of 12 [10-21]weeks, 70 patients were still using the device (68%). PGI-I score reflected an improvement in 70.9% and was 1, 2 and 3 in 28, 26 and 19 patients respectively, while 24 were unchanged and 6 were worse. No clinical baseline parameter was predictive of success. Adverse events included pain at stimulation site (two cases) and pelvic pain (two patients), which rapidly resolved after treatment interruption. CONCLUSIONS: TC-PTNS with TENSI+ device is an effective option for LUTS management, with results that seem similar to other TC-PTNS approaches. Adverse events were mild and reversible after treatment interruption.

INTRODUCTION: Multidisciplinary team meetings (MTMs) in the field of pelvic floor diseases in women tend to generalize, as they are required as mandatory before mid-urethral sling implantation or sacrocolpopexy by recent decrees published by the French health authorities. However, access to these meetings is variable in the French territory. The goal of the present study was to describe the existence and the settings of these kinds of meetings in France. MATERIEL AND METHODS: An on-line survey was conducted between June and July 2020 (stage 1) then between November 2021 and January 2022 (stage 2). A 15-item questionnaire was sent to all members of the Association française d'urologie (AFU). A descriptive analysis was conducted. RESULTS: Three hundred and twenty-two completed questionnaires were sent back during stage 1 and 158 during stage 2. Early 2022, 61.3% of respondents had access to a pelviperineology MTM, with important difference according to geographical areas. Main activity of MTMs was case discussion of complex situations (68% of meetings). At the end of 2021, 22% of the respondents declared willing to stop partially or totally their pelviperineology activity, given the new regulations set in place by the authorities. CONCLUSION: Despite being absolutely mandatory in current clinical practice, MTMs in pelvic floor disease have spread slowly. MTMs implementation was still insufficient in 2022, and variable on the French territory. Some urologists declare having no access to such resources and about 1 out of 5 were considering to voluntary stop of decrease significantly their activity in this difficult context.

AIMS: First described in 2014, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with TFEB amplification (6p21) is a rare molecular subgroup whose diagnosis is challenging. The prognosis and therapeutic implications remain unclear. METHODS: We report here the clinical, histological, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of nine novel cases. The pathological and immunohistochemical features were centrally reviewed by expert uropathologists. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) confirmed the diagnosis and comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) was performed to determine quantitative genomic alterations. We also performed an exhaustive review of the literature and compiled our data. RESULTS: TFEB-amplified RCC were locally advanced, with initial lymph node involvement in one case and liver metastasis in another case. They were high-grade eosinophilic tumours with papillary/pseudopapillary architecture, frequent positivity for melanocytic markers, and frequent PDL1 expression. FISH demonstrated high-level TFEB amplification in six cases. One case showed concomitant TFEB translocation. CGH analysis identified complex alterations with frequent losses of 1p, 2q, 3p, 6p, and frequent 6p and 8q gains. VEGFA coamplification was identified in all cases with a lower level than TFEB. The prognosis was poor, with five patients having lymph node or distant metastases. CONCLUSION: TFEB-amplified RCC is a rare molecular subgroup with variable morphology whose diagnosis is confirmed by FISH analysis. The complex alterations identified by CGH are consistent with an aggressive clinical behaviour. The coamplification of VEGFA and the expression of PDL1 could suggest a potential benefit from antiangiogenics and targeted immunotherapy in combination for these aggressive tumours.
