RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the specific contribution of ilioinguinal (II) and iliohypogastric (IH) nerve injury and referred pain to interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome and patient-reported chronic pelvic pain, and to enumerate the effects of II and IH nerve resection on the pain and voiding symptoms in patients with IC/BPS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prospective cohort study of 8 patients with ICS/BPS who had prior abdominal surgery. All patients received diagnostic image guided T12/L1 nerve blocks, followed by II and IH nerve resections. Validated O'Leary-Sant ICS symptom indices (OSPI) and pelvic pain and urgency/frequency patient symptoms scale (PUF) scores were collected at specified intervals pre- and post-operatively. RESULTS: Median scores at pre-operative (OSPI 13.9, PUF 20.4) and 1 week time points (OSPI 5.9, PUF 11), as well as differences between pre-operative and 10 month time points (OSPI 3.7, PUF 6) were all statistically significant (P = .008 and .009 at 1 week, and .007 and .008 at 10 months, for OSPI and PUF respectively). The mean difference in score from pre-operative to longest follow-up as measured by the OSPI was -14.4 (P < .001) and by PUF -10.3 (P < .001). All time points registered demonstrated improvement in pain scores. There were no surgical complications or adverse events. CONCLUSION: II and IH nerve resection may be an effective and durable treatment option for those with prior abdominal surgery who have referred interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome pain from these injured nerves.

OBJECTIVE: To better define patient-reported outcomes after urethroplasty. While urethroplasty is the most effective treatment for urethral stricture, the majority of outcomes are reported using surgeon-defined endpoints. METHODS: Patients were enrolled in a prospective study evaluating patient-reported outcomes after urethroplasty from 2012 to 2018. A number of domains were assessed preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively using both validated and nonvalidated measures including satisfaction, voiding function, urinary quality of life, erectile/ejaculatory function, penile appearance/curvature, and genitourinary pain. RESULTS: Of 357 patients completing the study, mean age was 49.7 years with mean stricture length of 4.4 cm. Total 95.9% of patients were stricture-free on 6-month cystoscopy. Eighty percent of patients reported being satisfied with surgery, while 7.3% of patients were unsatisfied. Voiding function was globally improved after urethroplasty including International Prostate Symptom Score (19.3 vs 6.0; P < .0001), urinary quality of life (4.7 vs 1.6; P < .0001), postvoid dribbling (2.7 vs 2.5; Pâ¯=â¯.04), and sitting to void (2.4 vs 1.9; P < .0001). Additionally, genitourinary pain improved postoperatively (2.2 vs 1.6; P < .0001). Mean erectile function remained unchanged (17.7 vs 17.2; Pâ¯=â¯.46) but 12.0% of patients reported new onset erectile dysfunction. Reported ejaculatory dysfunction did not change significantly postoperatively (Pâ¯=â¯.13) but 7.1% of patients reported new ejaculatory dysfunction. Total 6.7% and 3.1% of patients complained of bothersome loss of penile length or curvature, respectively. CONCLUSION: Urethroplasty improves voiding function and genitourinary pain associated with urethral stricture. While sexual function is preserved for the majority of patients, a small proportion of patients describe new onset erectile dysfunction, penile shortening or curvature and should be counselled accordingly.

We report a 22-year old gentleman who presented with postmicturition urinary dribbling for nearly 1 year along with urinary urgency and frequency. He had a history of brain tuberculosis 2 years back and was hospitalized for 4 months with a urethral catheter. Examination revealed a 3 cm cystic swelling in the penoscrotal junction. On pressing the sac, a gush of urine came out through the urethral meatus. A micturating cystourethrogram revealed a huge anterior urethral diverticulum. Cystoscopic assessment also confirmed the diagnosis and demonstrated transillumination. He subsequently underwent surgical excision of the diverticulum and is doing well on follow-up.

BACKGROUND: Endourological procedures are widely used to treat benign urinary disorders and the double-J stent is routinely used. However, its potential impact on sexual function remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a quantitative systematic review to determine the relationship between endourological procedures with or without double-J stent and post-operative sexual function. METHODS: We conducted a search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases up to December 2018 for studies that compared sexual function before and after endourological procedures. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I). We performed subgroup analyses to explore heterogeneity. A random effects model was used to combine the results. RESULTS: Five prospective studies involving 485 sexually active participants were identified. Pooled results showed that, in patients without a double-J stent, the change in sexual function after endourological procedures was not significant in men (mean difference [MD]: - 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI]: - 1.43 to 0.22, p = 0.148) or women (MD: 0.53, 95% CI: - 0.52 to 1.57, p = 0.322). However, in patients with indwelling double-J stent, sexual function scores significantly declined after the procedure in both men (MD: -4.25, 95% CI: - 6.20 to - 2.30, p < 0.001) and women (MD: -7.17, 95% CI: - 7.88 to - 6.47, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis suggests that indwelling double-J stent after endourological procedures could be a crucial factor causing temporary sexual dysfunction post-operatively. Our results may be used to provide evidence-based advice to patients.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the technique of robotic remnant vaginectomy/excision of urethral diverticulum in transmen and report postoperative outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2015 and 2018, 4 patients underwent robotic remnant vaginectomy/excision of urethral diverticulum for relief of urinary symptoms. Patients were of mean age 36 ± 10.1 years (range 26-50) at time of vaginal remnant excision, and were 26 ± 9.1 months (range 20-39) post-op following their primary vaginectomy and radial forearm free flap (n = 3) or anterolateral thigh (n = 1) phalloplasty. All had multiple urologic complications after primary phalloplasty, most commonly urinary retention (n = 4), urethral stricture (n = 3), fistula (n = 3), dribbling (n = 2), and obstruction (n = 2). Indication for revision was obstruction and retention (n =3 ) and/or dribbling (n = 2). In each case, the robotic transabdominal dissection freed remnant vaginal tissue from the adjacent bladder and rectum without injury to these structures. Concurrent first- or second-stage urethroplasty was performed in all cases at a more distal portion of the urethra using buccal mucosa, vaginal, or skin grafts. Intraoperative cystoscopy was used in each case to confirm complete resection and closure of the diverticulum. RESULTS: At mean follow-up of 294 ± 125.6 days (range 106-412), no patients had persistence or recurrence of vaginal cavity/urethral diverticulum on cystoscopic follow-up. Of 3 patients who wished to ultimately stand to void, 2 were able to do so at follow-up. CONCLUSION: Robotic transabdominal approach to remnant vaginectomy/excision of urethral diverticulum allows for excision without opening the perineal closure for management of symptomatic remnant/diverticulum in transgender men after vaginectomy.

PURPOSES: Midurethral synthetic sling (MUS) placement via either the retropubic or transobturator route is the standard surgical procedure for women with stress urinary incontinence. However, a small portion of patients experienced voiding dysfunction after the surgery, which was debilitating to their quality of life. Our study was aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of the unilateral sling cut down for post-midurethral sling (MUS) voiding dysfunction and, secondarily, at evaluating the changes in urodynamic parameters. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients who received unilateral midurethral sling cut down for voiding dysfunction after an MUS procedure. The cut-down procedures were performed at the urethral meatus, in the 9 or 3 o'clock direction. Preoperative and postoperative subjective and objective parameters were compared to evaluate the outcome of the cut-down procedures. RESULTS: We selected 15 patients who underwent unilateral MUS cut down for voiding dysfunction after anti-incontinence procedures with various MUSs. The cut-down procedures were performed at a median interval of 7.1 months after sling insertion. The subjective results of the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) after the cut-down procedure showed an overall satisfaction of 93.33%. After the cut-down procedure, the median flow rate increased from 14.8 to 22 ml/s (P > 0.05), and the post-void residual urine volume decreased from 193.5 to 35.0 ml (P < 0.05). All patients attained continence after the cut-down procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Unilateral MUS cut down is effective in the management of voiding dysfunction after anti-incontinence surgery, with a low risk of recurrence of urinary incontinence.

PURPOSE: We report long-term data on a large cohort of adults who underwent formation of a continent catheterizable channel for various indications. We examined outcomes according to the tissue used for channel formation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the case notes of 176 consecutive adult patients in whom a continent catheterizable channel was created using the Mitrofanoff principle for a broad range of indications a median of 142 months (range 54 to 386) previously. We evaluated outcomes in terms of continued use and continence for each type of material used for channel formation. RESULTS: At the time of this review 165 of the 173 patients (95.4%) included in this study were alive. We included 114 women (65.9%) and 59 men (34.1%) who underwent surgery at a median age of 42 years (range 18 to 73) with a mean followup of 78.6 months (median 60, range 2 to 365). The rate of revision for all causes was higher in the ileal group than in the group with an appendiceal channel (channel stenosis rate 22.7% vs 17.2%, p = 0.39, and channel incontinence rate 36.0% vs 19.5%, p = 0.03). Although 38.7% of patients underwent major surgical revision of the channel at some point, 75.9% of channels continued to be used, of which 90.2% were continent. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides a pragmatic overview of the outcome of these challenging cases. Mitrofanoff channel formation represents a durable technique. Appendix and ileum are each a viable choice for tissue use. Tissue selection depends on availability and individual patient factors.

BACKGROUND: Neuropathic bladder, voiding dysfunction, and posterior urethral valves may cause a great challenge in children. Preserving the kidney function is the main aim in all of these patients which can be achieved by cutaneous vesicostomy. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients who have undergone cutaneous vesicostomy in an 11-year period at the study center. STUDY DESIGN: In this retrospective study, the authors evaluated the long-term treatment results and complications of cutaneous vesicostomy on children with bilateral severe hydronephrosis, bilateral vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and urosepsis who were operated at our center from 2007 to 2018. RESULTS: There were 64 (80%) boys and 16 (20%) girls. Their mean of age was 15.27 months old when they underwent vesicostomy. Twenty-three (28.75%) of them had neurogenic bladder and 17 (21.25%) of them had intact neuronal pathway defined as dysfunctional voiding. Twenty-five (31.25%) boys had posterior urethral valves. Fifteen (18.75%) of them were younger than six months old with primary bilateral high-grade VUR and urosepsis. Mean of follow-up time was 65.34 ± 37.82 months (11.5 months-10.5 years). Cure rate was 95% in urinary tract infection, 80.7% in secondary VUR, and 40% in primary VUR. Creatinine level was significantly reduced after vesicostomy and during follow-up (P < 0.001). Complications after vesicostomy were stoma stenosis (11.25%), mucosal prolapse (7.5%), dermatitis (3.75%), and febrile urinary tract infection (5%). In primary VUR after vesicostomy, 60% of the patients did not require an intervention to correct the reflux (Table). DISCUSSION: A number of 29 of 66 patients with closed vesicostomy needed another surgery: three modified Gil-Vernet antireflux surgeries, one ureteral reimplantation, two endoscopic Deflux injections, 13 valve ablations, six ileocystoplasties, and four Botox injections. The 37 (56.06%) remaining patients did not require any other surgery after closure of vesicostomy. CONCLUSION: Vesicostomy should be considered in children with neuropathic bladder or bladder outlet obstruction in case first-line therapies fail. This simple and reversible procedure can reduce febrile urinary tract infections, protect the upper urinary tract, and reduce the need for a major surgery without decreasing the bladder capacity.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term results after the construction of a Continent Catheterizable Urinary Conduit (CCUC) in adults. Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the charts of 41 adults from two tertiary centers who received a CCUC. The demographics, underlying diseases, indications for a CCUC and outcomes such as the reoperation rate and the occurrence of complications were extracted. The patient reported outcome was measured with the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) scale and four additional questions about continence, leakage and stomal problems. Results: Twenty-nine patients were women. The median age at surgery was 32 years, with a median follow-up of 52 months. Twenty-six patients had a neurogenic bladder. The reoperation rate was 48.8%, with a median of 10.5 months after constructing the CCUC. Superficial stomal stenosis was the most common registered complication (20 times) and stoma revision was the most often performed reoperation (12 times). Twenty-four patients completed the PGI-I; the mean improvement rating was 2 (=much better). Conclusion: The construction of a CCUC in adults is associated with a high complication and reoperation rate. The high reoperation rate is in accordance with the sparse literature. Despite this, patients reported 'much better' on the PGI-I.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Compare outcomes of medical therapy as compared to minimally invasive surgical therapy (MIST) for treatment of bladder outlet obstruction RECENT FINDINGS: Treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) remains largely driven by patient symptomatology with medical therapy or watchful waiting as the first-line management strategies. However, most patients are not adherent to prescribed medical therapies and are hesitant to accept the risks associated with more invasive therapies. Minimally invasive surgical therapies are treatments providing short-term symptom relief superior to medical therapies without the sequela of more invasive procedures. Though there are few direct comparisons, MIST seems to relieve LUTS/BPH symptoms at least as well as medical therapy without the need for daily adherence.

PURPOSE: To analyze the outcome after untethering surgery in patients with spinal dysraphism (SD), with or without associated anorectal malformation (ARM). METHODS: Patients operated on for SD, with (Group A) or without (Group B) associated ARM (1999-2015), were included. The post-operative outcome was analyzed in the two groups in terms of improving of clinical symptoms (neuro-motor deficits, bladder dysfunction, bowel dysfunction) and of instrumental examinations (urodynamics, bladder ultrasound, neurophysiology). Fisher's exact test and χ2 test were used as appropriate; p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. MAIN RESULTS: Ten patients in Group A and 24 in Group B were consecutively treated. One patient was lost at follow up. Six patients (25%) in Group B underwent prophylactic surgery. The analysis of the pre-operative symptoms in the two groups showed that a significantly higher number of patients in group A needed bowel management and presented with neuro-motor deficits, compared to group B (p = 0.0035 and p = 0.04, respectively). Group A showed a significant post-operative neuro-motor improvement as compared to group B (p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Based on our results, untethering seems to be effective in neuro-motor symptoms in selected patients with ARM. In ARM patients, untethering surgery does not seem to benefit intestinal and urinary symptoms. The presence of the associated ARM does not seem to impact the medium-term outcome of patients operated for SD.

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate the effectiveness of adenotonsillectomy on resolving urinary storage symptoms such as frequency, urgency, and urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) in indicated sleep disordered breathing (SDB) patients. METHODS: We prospectively analyzed changes in storage symptoms and SDB score before and after surgery in 102 children (74 males, 28 females, mean age 8.4⯱â¯2.8 years) who underwent adenotonsillectomy between July 2011 and Feb 2012. Before and 3 months after surgery, all children and their parents were requested to answer a self-reported SDB scale-questionnaire (22 questions, 0-22 points) and a urinary storage symptoms questionnaire. RESULTS: The prevalence of urgency in the overall patients was 31.2%. After adenotonsillectomy, prevalence of frequency and, urgency in addition to SDB score were significantly decreased (p ⦠0.001). The prevalence of UUI was also significantly lower (11.6%-7.4%, pâ¯<â¯0.001). Patients with urgency had a significantly higher SDB score than those without (11.4⯱â¯4.3 vs. 7.8⯱â¯4.0, pâ¯<â¯0.001). After treatment, there was no difference between these two groups. CONCLUSION: Adenotonsillectomy markedly improved both SDB score and decreased the prevalence of voiding symptoms (frequency, urgency, and UUI). There was a strong correlation between preoperative SDB score and severity of urgency in children with SDB.

BACKGROUND: Urethral duplication and megalourethra are rare urethral anomalies. However, the concomitance of urethral duplication and double megalourethra has not been reported previously. CASE REPORT: A newborn was presented with penile swelling during voiding. Physical examination revealed a retractable foreskin and two external meatus of a double urethra. Retrograde urethrography demonstrated two complete megalourethras. Urethro-urethrostomy and urethroplasty were performed when the patient was 10 months old. The patient was followed up for one year without any urinary problems and has good cosmetics and urinary continence. CONCLUSION: The concomitance of these two rare anomalies and more importantly its surgical treatment makes this case report unique and valuable.

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to introduce our technique describing the removal of a chronic implanted tined-lead in patients with a sacral neuromodulator implant. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective review of patients who had chronic sacral neuromodulator (InterStim) implanted by a single surgeon from 2001 through 2015. This simple surgical technique was developed and successfully performed to remove the leads. Primary reasons for removal were elective due to poor symptoms control and failure to maintain response or lead migration. Patient demographics, indication for implantation, as well as installation and removal complications were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients were included [mean age: 60.4 years (32-86), 17 females]. Primary indications for sacral nerve stimulation were overactive bladder in 16 (64%), mixed incontinence in 6 (24%), urinary retention in 2 (8%), and interstitial cystitis 3 (12%). Mean implant duration was 24.2 (0.5-90) months. The existing tined lead was removed and replaced in 11 (44%) patients while the remaining 14 (56%) underwent complete removal of the unit without subsequent replacement. Successful lead removal without complications was achieved in 24 (96%) patients. CONCLUSIONS: This minimally invasive technique is a simple, safe, and effective method of removing chronic implanted tined leads en bloc.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To review and summarize the current literature of the implications of obesity on nononcological urological surgery. We conducted a comprehensive search of the current literature with emphasis on the published literature in the last 18 months. RECENT FINDINGS: Over time, obese patients have become a more common encounter in clinical practice. Obesity represents a considerable operative challenge and has been linked to a higher rate of postoperative complications. Data regarding surgery for incontinence are inconsistent. Nevertheless, the success rates in obese women are high, and complication rates are relatively low with comparable results to nonobese women. In renal surgery, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and minipercutaneous nephrolithotomy are feasible, well tolerated, and effective even in obese patients. However, certain precautions and availability of proper instruments are necessary. SUMMARY: Although randomized clinical data are lacking and the results of many studies are inconsistent, evidence supports the feasibility and safety of different nononcological urological interventions in obese patients. Moreover, the success rates and the overall complication rates seem to be comparable to nonobese patients with some exceptions.

The buried penis, also called hidden or concealed penis, is associated with morbid obesity or seen after massive weight loss in adults. In highly obese, bariatric patients, the penile shaft invaginates into the pre-pubic fat masses, resulting in voiding problems and urine wetting of the surrounding tissue. This leads to infection, skin maceration, lichen sclerosus and eczema. Sole circumcision without mons pubis plasty or penile fixation does not suffice to alleviate the discomfort and leads to recurrence. In post-bariatric patients, penile retraction is only partially present or absent, but abundant pre-pubic skin tissue forms an apron covering the genitals with problems in hygiene and sexual intercourse. In these cases, plastic-reconstructive interventions include mons pubis plasty with or without penile fixation. This article provides a comprehensive overview on aetiology, a novel classification of the buried penis and plastic-surgical reconstructive interventions matched to the stages of the condition.

A "buried penis" causes functional problems and embarrassment. In the past, this complex condition was only seen in extremely overweight patients or as a result of severe inflammations in this region. More recently, this problem has also been observed in patients with massive weight loss following bariatric surgery. In these patients there is an abundance of extremely flaccid skin in the suprapubic region, which covers the penis and causes it to "disappear". This leads to balanitis and, in turn, further retraction of the penis. The only solution to this condition is a sophisticated surgical approach in 3 phases: At first, suprapubic tissues must be lifted. Secondly, the penis must be completely denuded and debrided and the correct penopubic/penoscrotal angles must be reconstructed. The last phase includes a strainless coverage of the remaining defect of the penis. This condition has not been widely described in the literature. The general incidence and prevalence in the postbariatric population is unknown, probably due to patients' embarrassment and lack of knowledge on the physicians' end. Nevertheless, the buried penis can be successfully exposed through careful, structured surgical treatment and an interdisciplinary approach between plastic surgeons and urologists.

PURPOSE: We evaluated the short and long-term surgical outcomes of urinary diversion done for urinary adverse events arising from prostate radiation therapy. We hypothesized that patient characteristics are associated with complications after urinary diversion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 100 men who underwent urinary diversion (urinary conduit or continent catheterizable pouch) due to urinary adverse events after prostate radiotherapy from 2007 to 2016 from 9 academic centers in the United States. Outcome measurements included predictors of short and long-term complications, and readmission after urinary diversion of patients who had prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy. The data were summarized using descriptive statistics and univariate associations with complications were identified with logistic regression controlling for center. RESULTS: Mean patient age was 71 years and median time from radiotherapy to urinary diversion was 8 years. Overall 81 (81%) patients had combined modality therapy (radical prostatectomy plus radiotherapy or various combinations of radiotherapy). Grade 3a or greater Clavien-Dindo complications occurred in 31 (35%) men, including 4 deaths (4.5%). Normal weight men had more short-term complications compared to overweight (OR 4.9, 95% CI 1.3-23.1, p=0.02) and obese men (OR 6.3, 95% CI 1.6-31.1, p=0.009). Hospital readmission within 6 weeks of surgery occurred for 35 (38%) men. Surgery was needed to treat long-term complications after urinary diversion in 19 (22%) patients with a median followup of 16.3 months. CONCLUSIONS: Urinary diversion after prostate radiotherapy has a considerable short and long-term surgical complication rate. Urinary diversion most often cannot be avoided in these patients but appreciation of the risks allows for informed shared decision making between surgeons and patients.
