OBJECTIVE: The study evaluated the anatomical and functional outcomes, as well as the safety data of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) using a lightweight macroporous mesh. METHODS: A multicentric observational study was developed including five expert centers between March 2011 and December 2019. Inclusion criteria were female patients with symptomatic ≥stage II POP (POP-Q classification), who underwent a LSC. A lightweight and macroporous mesh device (Surelift Uplift) was used. Baseline anatomical positions were evaluated using POP-Q stage. The anatomical outcomes and procedural complications were assessed during the postoperative period. Primary outcomes were anatomical success, defined as POP-Q stage ≤I, and subjective success, defined as no bothersome bulge symptoms, and no repeat surgery or pessary use for recurrent prolapse. RESULTS: A total of 325 LSCs were analyzed with a median patient age of 66 (interquartile range [IQR] 61-73). After a median follow-up of 68 months (IQR 46.5-89), anatomical success was found in 88.9%, whereas subjective success was seen in 98.5% of the patients. Recurrent prolapse presented as cystocele (1.5%). Reported complications were bladder (4.6%) or rectum lesions (0.6%), de novo urinary incontinence (12.9%), and mesh extrusion (1.2%). CONCLUSIONS: LSC provides significant clinical improvement and excellent anatomical results, with a low risk of serious complications for women with ≥2 grade POP in a real clinical practice setting.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) is a functional reconstructive surgery used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in middle-aged women. Although LSC is widely used, its implementation is hindered by perceived technical difficulties and surgical learning curves. Surgeons require adequate experience with LSC prior to performing the procedure on patients to improve their quality of life. This study is aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of the ovine model (OM) for training and research in LSC, while also comparing anatomical differences between ovine and human models during the procedure. METHODS: The animal model and training were provided by the Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Centre. Urologists and gynecologists with experience in LSC participated in a course and their findings were recorded and documented. RESULTS: Differences in patient positioning, trocar placement, and reperitonealization were identified between the ovine and human models. Hysterectomy is always performed in the ovine model, whereas it is not mandatory in humans. There are also differences in the dissection of the levator ani muscle and attachment point of the posterior mesh to the uterus between the two models. Despite differences in some areas, the ovine pelvic structure and vagina are similar in size to those of humans. CONCLUSIONS: The ovine model is a valuable tool for surgeons in their learning curve for LSC, allowing for safe and effective practice prior to performing the procedure on patients. The use of the OM can help to improve the quality of life for women affected by pelvic organ prolapse.

There are different surgical techniques for reconstruction of the urinary tract in kidney transplant. However, urinary complications are frequent in the postoperative period, being the ureter the frequent location of these complications. This results in high health care costs, increasing patient morbimortality and sometimes graft loss. For this reason, prevention, correct diagnosis and treatment are important. The aim of this review is to describe the surgical techniques most commonly used in kidney transplant for ureteroneocystostomy. To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each of them and to compare their complications. On the other hand, we summarize the recent literature on the four most frequent urinary complications in the postoperative period after transplantation. The possible causes and treatment of urine leak, ureteri cobstruction, hematuria and vesicoureteral reflux are presented.


Existen diferentes técnicas quirúrgicas para la reconstrucción del tracto urinario en el trasplante renal. Sin embargo es frecuente la aparición de complicaciones urinarias en el postoperatorio, siendo el uréterla localización frecuente de las mismas. Esto implica un alto gasto sanitario, aumentando la morbimortalidad del paciente y pudiendo llegar a desencadenar la pérdida del injerto. Por ello es importante la prevención, el correcto diagnóstico y su tratamiento. El objetivo de esta revisión es describir las técnicas quirúrgicas más usadas en el trasplante renal para la ureteroneocistostomía. Analizar las ventajas y desventajas de cada una de ellas y comparar sus complicaciones. Por otro lado se resume la literatura reciente sobre las cuatro complicaciones urinarias más frecuentes en el postoperatorio del trasplante. Se exponen las posibles causas y tratamiento de la fuga urinaria, la obstrucción ureteral, la hematuria y el reflujo ureterovesical.

OBJECTIVE:  LASER (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) technology consists of the emission of a high-energy light beam. In medicine, it is used to cut, coagulate, fragment and evaporate biological or synthetic tissues. In the field of Functional Urology and Urogynecology its use has been widely explored. This article tries to give an overview of its applications in this subspecialty. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A non-systematic free search was performed in Pubmed, Embase and Google Scholar,combining the terms "laser", "laser technology", "interstitial cystitis", "trigonitis", "urinary tract infections","mesh", "mesh complications", "microbiome", "menopause genitourinary syndrome", "vulvovaginal atrophy", "urinary incontinence", "pelvic organ prolapse", "lichensclerosus", "complications" and "vaginal laxity". All relevant studies were retrieved in full text, in order to prepare a summary of each of the pathologies in which laser therapy has been used in Functional Urology and Urogynecology over time. RESULTS: There are different types of lasers and different application modalities to treat a wide variety of functional pathologies, including interstitial cystitis, trigonitis, mesh complications, urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. In some of them its use has been abandoned, despite the fact that, theoretically, they offer advantages over other therapies, such as in the case of interstitial cystitis. In others there is still not enough evidence in terms of safety and efficacy to be an alternativeto other conventional treatments. CONCLUSIONS: Although laser therapy offers certain advantages over other treatments, its use has not been generalized in the subspecialty of Functional Urology and Urogynecology. More evidence is needed to demonstrate its efficacy and safety.

RESULTADOS: Existen distintos tipos de láser y distintas modalidades de aplicación para tratar una amplia variedad de patologías funcionales, entre las que se encuentran la cistitis intersticial, la trigonitis, las complicaciones de las mallas, la incontinencia urinaria o el prolapso de órganos pélvicos. En algunas de ellas su uso se ha abandonado, a pesar de que, teóricamente, ofrecen ventajas respecto a otras terapias como en el caso de la cistitis intersticial. En otras todavía no hay suficiente evidencia en términos de seguridad y eficacia como para que supongan una alternativa a otros tratamientos convencionales. CONCLUSIONES: Aunque el láser ofrece ciertas ventajas respecto a otros tratamientos, su uso no se ha generalizado en la subespecialidad de Urología Funcional y Uroginecología. Se necesita mayor evidencia que demuestre su eficacia y seguridad.

OBJECTIVES: The utility and importance of the 3-day Bladder Diary (3dBD) for the diagnosis and management of patients with Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) was analyzed. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Epidemiological, observational, longitudinal and multicentric study, carried out under usual conditions of clinical practice. 37 Functional Urology and Urodynamics units included 329 women with BPS according to the criteria of the International Society for the Study of Bladder Pain Syndrome (ESSIC). Of all patients included, 319 were evaluable (79 with new diagnosis and 240 in follow-up). Sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected together with variables related to cystoscopy, biopsy and physical examination and BPS diagnostic tests. Patients completed the "Bladder Pain/Interstitial Cystitis - Symptom Score"(BPIC-SS), "Patient Global Impression of Severity" (PGI-S) and "EuroQoL-5D-5L" (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaires besides of the 3dBD. Results of the 3dBD were described according to urinary symptoms and the symptoms reported through questionnaires, in addition their association was studied. RESULTS: In anamnesis, 74.9% of patients reported increased Urinary Frequency (UF), 59.6% urgency and72.7% nocturia compared to 88.7%, 55.9% and 73.6% as reflected in the 3dBD. The highest correlation indexes (CI) were obtained between BPIC-SS and UF/24h (0.45) and between UF/24 h and PGI-S (-0.36) and EQ-5D-5L (-0.33). Mean voiding volume was higher in patients with better BPIC-SS score (163.72 (SD 68.02ml) y 154.1 (SD 70.63 ml)), at 6 and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS: 3dBD has proven to be a useful and complementary tool to the anamnesis in the evaluation of the repercussion of pain in the micturition pattern and for the differential diagnosis of the symptoms of BPS patients. It also allows to obtain complete and objective information about the symptoms. Although it is necessary to incorporate other tools that complete the clinical characterization of these patients.


OBJETIVOS: Se analizó la utilidad e importancia del Diario Miccional de 3 días (DM3d) en el diagnóstico y manejo de las pacientes con Síndrome de Dolor Vesical (SDV).MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Estudio epidemiológico, observacional, longitudinal y multicéntrico, realizado en condiciones de práctica clínica habitual. 37 unidades de Urología Funcional y Urodinámica incluyeron 329 mujeres con SDV bajo criterio de la International Society for the Study of Bladder Pain Syndrome (ESSIC). 319 pacientes fueron evaluables (79 de nuevo diagnóstico y 240 en seguimiento). Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas y clínicas, variables relacionadas con la cistoscopia, biopsia y exploración física, y pruebas diagnósticas para el SDV. Las pacientes completaron los cuestionarios "Bladder Pain/Interstitial Cystitis ­Symptom Score" (BPIC-SS), "Patient Global Impression of Severity" (PGI-S), "EuroQoL-5D-5L" (EQ-5D-5L) y el DM3d. Se describieron los resultados del DM3d según los síntomas miccionales y los síntomas comunicados por las pacientes a través de cuestionarios y se estudiós u asociación. RESULTADOS: En la anamnesis, el 74,9% de pacientes reportaron frecuencia miccional (FM) aumentada, 59,6% urgencia miccional y 72,7% nocturia frente al 88,7%, 55,9%, 73,6% que reflejó el DM3d. Los mayores índices de correlación (ICC) se obtuvieron entre las puntuaciones BPIC-SS y FM/24h (0,45) y entre FM/24h y PGI-S (-0,36) y EQ-5D-5L (-0,33). El Volumen Miccional medio fue superior en las pacientes con mejor puntuación en BPIC-SS, a los 6 y 12 meses (163,72 (DE 68,02 ml) y 154,1 (DE 70,63 ml)). CONCLUSIONES: El DM3d ha demostrado ser una herramienta útil y complementaria a la anamnesis en la evaluación de la repercusión del dolor en el patrón miccional y en el diagnóstico diferencial de los síntomas de estas pacientes. Además, permite obtener información completa y objetiva de los síntomas. Si bien es necesario incorporar otras herramientas que terminen de completar la caracterización clínica de estas pacientes.

OBJETIVO: Determinar el valor de la neoplasia intraepitelial prostática (PIN) de alto grado (con o sin la influencia de determinados factores de riesgo) para predecir la existencia de cáncer de próstata (CaP) en posteriores biopsias. MÉTODO: Hemos estudiado 41 pacientes procedentes de un programa de screening del CaP a quienes se detectó PIN de alto grado. Se revisaron las biopsias posteriores, calculando la probabilidad de detectar un CaP en las mismas. También se analizó la influencia de la edad, el tacto rectal (TR), nivel de PSA, ecografía transrectal (ECOTR), y densidad del PSA (DPSA) sobre el resultado de estas rebiopsias. RESULTADOS: La edad de los pacientes estudiados osciló entre los 50 y 83 años, con una media de 62,8 (error estándar 1,6), y mediana de 61. De un total de 41 pacientes con diagnóstico de PIN de alto grado, sólo 27 aceptaron la repetición de la biopsia). De estos, 11 presentaron CaP (40,7 por ciento, todos ellos clínicamente localizados al diagnóstico), y 16 no presentaron alteraciones (59,3 por ciento) en la rebiopsia. Ni el análisis univariante, ni el multivariante, identificaron a la edad, PSA, TR, ECOTR, o DPSA como predictores de la existencia de cáncer en las posteriores biopsias. CONCLUSIONES: El hallazgo de un PIN de alto grado en la biopsia prostática conlleva un riesgo importante de detectar un cáncer en biopsias posteriores. Por este motivo, recomendamos la repetición sistemática de la biopsia en estos pacientes (AU)
