Introduction: Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is expressed by many different symptoms thatcan affect pelvic floor organs. These symptoms can appear alone or associated. The involvement of differentorgans and the wide variety of symptoms we have todeal with, has become teamwork essential for diagnosisand treatment of PFD. Currently, multidisciplinary pelvicfloor teams are essential when dealing with PFD.Objetive: The main objective of the article is to analyze characteristics and pathologies of the patients discussed during these multidisciplinary meetings.Material and methods: This is a descriptive study.Patients followed in the multidisciplinary pelvic floor team at Galdakao-Usansolo Hospital were recruited.We analyzed the patients discussed at the meetingsfrom January 2014 until March 2019.Results: We recruited 55 patients. 89.09% werefemale and the mean age of the analyzed patientswas 55.36 years. The most frequent reasons for medical consultation were pelvic floor prolapses in female(22.45%) and pelvic floor pain in male (33.33%). Association between symptoms occur in 78.18% of the patients. 41.82% of patients were referred to more than 2specialists and 21.82% needed associated treatments.Conclusions: Pelvic floor dysfunction is manifestedby a combination of symptoms which need different specialists, not only for diagnosis, but also for treatment.This is why multidisciplinary teams have become important for the management of pelvic floor disfunction.(AU)

Traumatic dislocation of testis is a rare event. We report a case of traumatic testicular dislocation in a 27-year-old patient presenting a right inguinal lump in a context of acute alcohol abuse with transient global amnesia. There was a tender mass in the right inguinal region and right hemiscrotum. He ascertained a previous scrotal position of both testes. The Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of a dislocated right testis in right inguinal canal and surgical reduction and orchidopexy was performed. It is necessary to perform a complete physical examination in a trauma patient, early detection and management are both essential to preserve normal spermatogenic function.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To describe stone-free rates and complications of ureteroscopic treatment for impacted compared with non-impacted ureteral stones and evaluate predictive variables for impaction. METHODS: The Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society prospectively collected 1 consecutive year of data from 114 centers worldwide. Patients eligible for inclusion were patients treated with ureteroscopy for ureteral stones. Patient characteristics, treatment details, and outcomes were compared with regard to stone impaction. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore predictive variables for ureteral stone impaction and to analyse the effect of impaction on outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 8543 treated patients, 2650 (31%) had impacted and 5893 (69%) non-impacted stones. The stone-free rate was 87.1% for impacted stones, which is lower compared with 92.7% for non-impacted stones (p < 0.001). Intra-operative complication rates were higher for impacted stones (7.9 versus 3.0%, p < 0.001). Significantly higher ureteral perforation- and avulsion rates were reported in the impacted stone group compared with the non-impacted stone group. No association between stone impaction and post-operative complications could be shown. Female gender, ASA-score >1, prior stone treatment, positive pre-operative urine culture, and larger stones showed to be predictive variables for stone impaction. CONCLUSIONS: Ureteroscopic treatment for impacted stones is associated with lower stone-free rates and higher intra-operative complication rates compared with treatment for non-impacted stones. The predictive variables for the presence of stone impaction may contribute to the identification of stone impaction during the diagnostic process. Moreover, identification of stone impaction may aid the selection of the optimal treatment modality.
