RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Patient Blood Management (PBM) is defined as a patient-centered, systematic, evidence-based approach to improve patient outcomes by managing and preserving a patient's own blood, while promoting patient safety and empowerment. As a corollary, it also reduces the utilization of allogeneic blood components. However, demonstrating cost-effectiveness depends on the health insurance system considered. This analysis aims to estimate the one-year budget impact of PBM in four elective surgical areas, from French National Health Insurance and hospital perspectives. METHODS: A budget impact model was developed to estimate the difference in the cost of care between scenarios with and without PBM. The impact of hematopoiesis optimization (first pillar of PBM) was studied throughout the management of preoperative anemia and iron deficiency in four types of surgeries: orthopedic, cardiac & cardiovascular, vascular & thoracic, and urologic & visceral surgery. Estimation of model's parameters was based on data collected in 10 French hospitals, literature, and on data from the French national medico-administrative database. RESULTS: A total of 980,125 patients were modeled for all four therapeutic areas. Results shows that implementation of a PBM program could generate annual savings up to 1079 M from the French National Health Insurance perspective (1018 M from the hospital perspective), and the sparing of 181,451 red blood cells units per year. The deterministic sensitivity analysis showed that PBM generates savings for both perspectives in most parameters tested. CONCLUSION: Implementing PBM programs could result in important savings for the health care system in France.

INTRODUCTION: Among genitourinary traumas, blunt trauma to the kidney are the most frequent: their initial management has been well studied but their development at a distance is poorly documented. The objective of this study was to assess the late complications of blunt renal trauma, and to investigate their predictive factors for occurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective observational study of the TraumAFUF project was conducted, including, between 2005 and 2018, all blunt renal trauma treated in 18 French hospitals and followed for more than 3 months. The characteristics of the initial trauma, as well as any complications occurring after three months, were identified. The patients were divided into two groups: onset of a late complication (LC) or uncomplicated (UC). The groups were compared in univariate and multivariate analyses to identify the risk factors for the occurrence of these complications. RESULTS: Among the 454 patients included, 50 presented with LC (11%), as symptomatic morphologically altered kidney (2.9%), secondarily impaired biological renal function (2.9%), or secondary arterial hypertension (2.4%). The risk factors identified were, during initial medical care, a high-grade renal trauma≥IV (OR=2.4, P=0.025), active bleeding (OR=2.6, P=0.007), the need for transfusion (OR=2.3, P=0.001), or interventional (R=1.7, P=0.09) or endoscopic treatment (OR=2.0, P=0.035). CONCLUSION: In this study, late complications occurred in 11% of cases after blunt renal trauma. The risk factors identified make it possible to draw up a patient profile who would benefit from prolonged follow-up to detect these complications.

INTRODUCTION: Urine flowmetry (UF) is a key non-invasive urodynamic test for the evaluation of the voiding phase in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Traditional free urodynamic testing (FUT) performed on a one-time basis in the office is limited by difficulty in capturing normal voiding and high intrapatient variability in urine flow parameters. Home measurement of urine flow by the patient could be a way to obtain multiple data in real-life conditions, addressing its limitations. The objective of this article was to review the literature on the different techniques of home uroflowmetry (HUF) and their clinical interest in comparison with FUT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A search on the PubMed database using the key words "Urodynamics, Uroflowmetry, non-invasive urodynamics, Ambulatory urodynamics, bladder outlet obstruction, male LUTS" was performed to find articles in English or French that had been published with no time limit and March 2022. The sorting by reading the abstract allowed the selection of all articles describing and/or evaluating a HUF technique that were read entirely according to the same collection grid to propose a narrative synthesis. RESULTS: Thirty-one articles were identified, selected, and analyzed. Simple and inexpensive techniques by timing or use of funnels reliably and reproducibly estimate the average and maximum urine flow in relation to the FUT, without providing a complete flow curve. More sophisticated electronic or sonometric methods, some using connected mobile applications, present results that are more consistent with ICS recommendations for flow measurement. With the possibility of studying the average of several values of the maximum urinary flow (Qmax) captured during micturition in physiological conditions, some studies suggest a gain in diagnostic value in the evaluation of the emptying phase and lower urinary tract symptoms in men. However, the literature is sparse, old and the clinical benefits are not yet proven. CONCLUSION: There is a wide range of techniques for measuring urine flow in the patient's home, all of which aim to fill the gaps in conventional urine flow measurement. Further studies are needed to demonstrate the acceptability of this type of measurement by patients, the existence of a real clinical benefit, to assess the cost/benefit balance and finally to define a possible place for home uroflowmetry in daily practice, compared with traditional free flowmetry and invasive urodynamics (pressure-flow test).

OBJECTIVE: To update French oncology guidelines concerning penile cancer. METHODS: Comprehensive Medline search between 2020 and 2022 upon diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of testicular germ cell cancer to update previous guidelines. Level of evidence was evaluated according to AGREE-II. RESULTS: Epidermoid carcinoma is the most common penile cancer histology. Physical examination is mandatory to define local and inguinal nodal cancer stage. MRI with artificial erection can help to assess deep infiltration in cases of organsparing intention. Node negative patients (defined by palpation and imaging) will present micro nodal metastases in up to 25% of cases. Invasive lymph node assessment is thus advocated except for low risk patients. Sentinel node dynamic biopsy is the first line technique. Modified bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy is an option with higher morbidity. 18-FDG-PET is recommended in patients with palpable nodes. Chest, abdominal and pelvis computerized tomography is an option. Fine needle aspiration (when positive) is an easy way to assess inguinal palpable node pathological involvement. Its results determine the type of lymphadenectomy to be performed (for diagnostic or curative purposes). Treatment is mostly surgical. Free margins status is essential, but it also has to be organ-sparing when possible. Brachytherapy and topic agents can cure in selected cases. Lymph node assessment should be synchronous to the removal of the tumour when possible. Limited inguinal lymph node involvement (pN1 stage) can be cured with the only lymphadenectomy. In case of larger lymph node stage, one should consider multidisciplinary treatment including chemotherapy and inclusion in a trial. CONCLUSIONS: Penile cancer needs demanding surgery to be cured, surrounded by chemotherapy in node positive patients. Lymph nodes involvement is a major prognostic factor. Thus, inguinal node assessment cannot be neglected.

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this publication is to recall the initial work-up when faced with an adrenal incidentaloma and, if necessary, to establish the oncological management of an adrenal malignant tumor. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The multidisciplinary working group updated French urological guidelines about oncological assessment of the adrenal incidentaloma, established by the CCAFU in 2020, based on an exhaustive literature review carried out on PubMed. RESULTS: Although the majority of the adrenal masses are benign and non-functional, it is important to investigate them, as a percentage of these can cause serious endocrine diseases or be cancers. Malignant adrenal tumors are mainly represented by adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC), malignant pheochromocytomas (MPC) and adrenal metastases (AM). The malignancy assessment of an adrenal incident includes a complete history, a physical examination, a biochemical/hormonal assessment to look for subclinical hormonal secretion. Diagnostic hypotheses are sometimes available at this stage, but it is the morphological and functional imaging and the histological analysis, which will make it possible to close the malignancy assessment and make the oncological diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: ACC and MPC are mainly sporadic but a hereditary origin is always possible. ACC is suspected preoperatively but the diagnosis of certainty is histological. The diagnosis of MPC is more delicate and is based on clinic, biology and imagery. The diagnosis of certainty of AM requires a percutaneous biopsy. At the end, the files must be discussed within the COMETE - adrenal cancer network (Appendix 1).

OBJECTIVE: Updated Recommendations for the management of testicular germ cell cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Comprehensive review of the literature on PubMed since 2020 concerning the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of testicular germ cell cancer (TGCT), and the safety of treatments. The level of evidence of the references was evaluated. RESULTS: The initial work-up for patients with testicular germ cell cancer is based on a clinical examination, biochemical (AFP, total hCG and LDH serum markers) and radiological assessment (scrotal ultrasound and thoracic-abdominal-pelvic [TAP] CT). Inguinal orchiectomy is the first therapeutic step whereby the histological diagnosis can be made, and the local stage and risk factors for stage I non-seminomatous germ cell tumours (NSGCT) can be determined. For patients with pure stage-I seminoma, the risk of progression is 15 to 20%. Therefore, surveillance in compliant patients is preferable; adjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin AUC 7 is an option; and indications for para-aortic radiotherapy are limited. For patients with stage I NSGCT, there are various options between surveillance and a risk-adapted strategy (surveillance or 1 cycle of BEP [Bleomycin Etoposide Cisplatin] depending on the absence or presence of vascular emboli within the tumour). Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for staging has a very limited role. The treatment for metastatic TGCT is BEP chemotherapy in the absence of any contraindication to bleomycin, for which the number of cycles is determined according to the prognostic risk group of the International Germ Cell Cancer Consortium Group (IGCCCG). Para-aortic radiotherapy is still a standard in stage IIA seminomatous germ cell tumours (SGCT). After chemotherapy, the size of residual masses should be assessed by TAP scan for NSGCT: retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is recommended for any residual mass of more than 1 cm, and all other metastatic sites should be excised. For SGCT, reassessment by 18F-FDG PET is required to specify the surgical indication for residual masses>3cm. Surgery is still rare in these situations. CONCLUSION: By adhering to TGCT management recommendations, excellent disease-specific survival rates are achieved; 99% for stage I and over 85% for metastatic stages.

BACKGROUND: The overall mortality of hemodynamically unstable patients with pelvic trauma is high. Their management is controversial concerning places of arterioembolization and pelvic packing associated with pelvic stabilization. The aim of this study was to collect the pre-peritoneal pelvic packing (PPP) performed in our institution over 10years in order to propose a management algorithm. METHOD: From January 2010 to December 2020, all patients with a hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture who had PPP combined with pelvic stabilization were included. Data were collected prospectively and analyzed retrospectively. The main judgement criteria were early hemorrhage-induced mortality (<24h) and overall mortality (<30d). RESULTS: Twenty patients had PPP out of 287 polytrauma patients with pelvic fracture. The first-line PPP proposed in our algorithm significantly reduced the number of red blood cells (RBCs) (P=0.0231) and improved systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P<0.001) within 24hours of first-line PPP (compared with preoperative). Six patients (30%) were embolized postoperatively for active bleeding not necessarily pelvic. The overall mortality at 30days was 50% (10/20). CONCLUSION: PPP is a fast, easy, effective and safe procedure for venous, bone and sometimes arterial bleeding. PPP is part of damage control surgery and we propose it as a first-line procedure. AE remains complementary in a second step.

INTRODUCTION: To report the epidemiology and the care pathway for urological emergencies in France for the official report of the 115th Congres Francais d'Urologie. METHODS: We made a request to the Institut de Veille Sanitaire and its network Surveillance Sanitaire des Urgences et des Décès (SurSaUD®). Within this system, the OSCOUR® network (Organisation de la surveillance coordonnée des urgences) centralizes in real time the data of emergency visits from more than 720 emergency departments throughout the national territory (>93% of the national territory covered by the OSCOUR® network). For each emergency defined by its CIM-10 code, the following data were collected from 2014 to 2019: age, gender, length of stay and post-emergency status (hospitalization vs. return home). RESULTS: From 2014 to 2019, urological emergencies represented on average 4.2% of all emergencies, with an average 591,080±66,782 passages/year including 25% that resulted in hospitalization. Infectious disease represented 35% of all urological emergencies. The 3 most common urologic emergencies were: renal colic, acute urine retention and hematuria for men; acute cystitis, pyelonephritis and renal colic for women. CONCLUSION: In an analysis of the OSCOUR® (Organisation de la surveillance coordonnée des urgences) registry, we determined the epidemiological profiles of the main urological emergencies with contemporary data.

INTRODUCTION: Among trauma emergencies, kidney damage is uncommon. The urologist is frequently on the second line in the management of patients with multiple traumatic lesions. Knowledge of treatment is necessary to be able to integrate the different teams involved in an approach that is both vital in the context of damage control and functional with a concern for parenchymal preservation. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was carried out using the Medline database in order to identify the most relevant articles in English and French. RESULTS: Kidney trauma occurs either by direct shock or by a deceleration mechanism. They are classified by severity according to the AAST classification. Management is mostly conservative by avoiding surgery and controlling bleeding by arterial embolization. Surveillance checks for complications occurrence in high-grade trauma. Traumatic dissection of the renal artery, with a poor functional prognosis requires a short delay before treatment. CONCLUSION: The prognosis for trauma to the kidney, regardless of the grade, is currently good, with improvements of effective resuscitation and embolization in the event of bleeding.

INTRODUCTION: Complications of kidney and ureter trauma are directly in the field of the urologist. If they have a second place in the vital prognosis, a good knowledge of these pathologies is essential. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was carried out using the Medline database in order to identify the most relevant articles in English and French. RESULTS: Urinary extravasation in the context of blunt kidney trauma has a good functional prognosis. Impaired function of the traumatized kidney is linked to vascular damage associated with grade IV and V. Non operative management is the treatment of choice with deferred management in the event of septic or painful deterioration. The lesions of the ureter are predominantly iatrogenic. While incomplete lesions can be treated endoscopically, complete lesions (stenosis or wound) require surgery. The most frequent lesions, in the distal ureter are easily treated by ureterovesical reimplantation. Large losses of substance may require ileal replacement. CONCLUSION: Blunt kidney trauma causing urinary extravasation, with an excellent prognosis, are treated conservatively. Conversely, lesions of the ureter require in the majority of cases an intervention to restore continuity.

INTRODUCTION: The aims of this narrative review was to report on the contemporary data of renal colic (RC) in terms of epidemiology and pressure on emergency structures and also to describe the latest therapeutic developments about uncomplicated RC, depending on the pediatric, adult and pregnancy population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A request to the health surveillance network for emergencies and deaths (SurSaUD®, Santé Publique France) revealed original data on the contemporary epidemiology of renal colic. A narrative synthesis of the articles (French, English) available on the Pubmed database was produced in June 2021. RESULTS: Renal colic represents 1.1% of the annual total of emergency room visits. The mean age at admission was 45 years and 62% of patients were men. NSAIDs and Paracetamol are the most effective analgesic treatments and should be given priority over opioids. Non-drug analgesic treatments by tactile stimulation probably have a place in the CN management, particularly in case of contraindications. Among the validated treatments, alphablockers allow better expulsion when the stone is located in the pelvic ureter and if its size is between 5 and 10mm in diameter. In pregnant women, the predominant problem is to confirm the diagnostic. If there is a strong suspicion, MRI or a low-dose CT scan is possible. Ureteroscopy is feasible in particular in the first part of pregnancy to avoid iterative ureteral catheter changes. The care for children is now based on that of adults. CONCLUSION: The renal colic care pathway in 2021 can benefit from various optimizations in the field of expulsion and analgesic treatments. Good knowledge of the specific situations in pregnant women and children allowing to improve the quality of care.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this article was to cite rare but sometimes serious emergencies that may be encountered by any urologist during their practice, and to outline the main principles of their management. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A systematic review of the literature using PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar was carried out between January 2000 and June 2021. The articles obtained were selected according to their age and type. The original articles, meta-analyses, recommendations and the most recent journal articles published in French and English have been retained. A total of 312 articles were identified and 58 selected from their abstracts. The articles were then analysed exhaustively by the authors, and 24 references were finally selected. RESULTS: Several rare emergencies of an infectious nature (xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, emphysematous cystitis and pyelonephritis, malacoplasia, hydatiduria), ischemic nature (Fournier's gangrene, penile calciphylaxis), or hemorrhagic nature (hemospermia, hemorrhages of the upper urinary tract or adrenal gland spontaneous hematoma), or at the origin of painful manifestations (spermatic colic, venous thrombosis of the penis), can pose diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties, in the absence of consensus concerning their management. CONCLUSION: These pathologies, rare but sometimes serious, must be recognized in order to not delay the treatment and to be able to reduce their morbidity and mortality. Combined with the constant improvement of our diagnostic and therapeutic arsenal, a better knowledge of these rare emergencies will help to preserve the functional and vital prognosis of patients.

INTRODUCTION: The objective of this narrative review was to report the most relevant data on the contemporary management of the main non-infectious emergencies of the lower urinary tract and genital organs. METHODS: A narrative synthesis of the articles (French, English) available on the Pubmed database was carried out in June 2021. A request to the health surveillance network for emergencies and deaths (SurSaUD®, Santé Publique France) revealed original data on the epidemiology of non-infectious lower urinary tract and genital organs emergencies. RESULTS: Non-infectious emergencies of the low urinary tract and genital organs represent a large panel of traumatic and non-traumatic situations, which constitute the 3rd reasons in urology for a consultation at the emergency department after, infectious disease (1st) and non-traumatic/non-infectious emergencies of the upper urinary tract (2nd). Hematuria is the 3rd urological reason for men for a consultation at the emergency department. Globally, pelvic trauma and genital traumatism mainly concern men. These emergencies rarely affect the prognosis but can be integrated into more complete situations which are likely to impact their treatment, particularly in multiple traumas. CONCLUSIONS: In this article we report the epidemiology and the principles of management of non-infectious emergencies of the lower urinary tract and genital organs.

INTRODUCTION: Following the Paris attacks in 2015, the French hospital system has had to organize itself in mass casualties of serious injuries, especially hemorrhagic shock. Recent experience shows that the first flow of casualties is spontaneously directed to the structure closest to the events, whether it is suitable or not. Any surgeon can face such a crisis regardless of their practice structure, because terrorist attacks are unpredictable. The urologist must anticipate the responsibilities that they might be forced to shoulder in such a situation. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A systematic literature review based on PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar was conducted between January 2000 and June 2021. RESULTS: In addition to a coordinator role, reserved for the most experienced, his visceral surgical expertise would allow a urologist to apply damage control (DC) at each stage. We describe here the principles of DC, in particular the DC laparotomy including its strategy concerning genitourinary lesions. DISCUSSION: Whatever his role (sorter, organizer, technician) in the management of a mass casualties of hemorrhagic injuries, an urologist has to know the principles of DC. A damage control laparotomy (stage 1 of DC) requires the urologist surgeon to never seek to perform a primary reconstruction procedure but to favor speed and efficiency (both on the hemostatic and urostatic side) to lead the injured patient stabilized to faster in intensive care unit (stage 2). Revision surgery called "definitive surgical management" (stage 3) will be performed anyway at the end of this period.

OBJECTIVE: To report the nature, diagnosis and therapeutic strategy of infectious emergencies in urology. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Bibliographic research from Pubmed, Embase, and Google scholar in July 2021. A synthesis of the guidelines of national infectious diseases societies. RESULTS: Urosepsis and complicated urinary tract infection have a standardized definition. Diagnosis and therapeutic strategy are presented for upper tract urinary infection, male urinary infection, healthcare associated urinary infection, symptomatic canduria and urinary infections of the elderly. Appropriate antibiotherapy should be tailored to the degree of severity, bacterial ecosystem, patient characteristics et localization of the infection. CONCLUSION: Urinary infections can be critical and require immediate care. Knowledge of the guidelines and of appropriate diagnosis and therapeutics strategy improve care which should be rapidly applied, and collegial.

OBJECTIVE: - To update French guidelines concerning testicular germ cell cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: - Comprehensive Medline search between 2018 and 2020 upon diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of testicular germ cell cancer and treatments toxicities. Level of evidence was evaluated. RESULTS: - Testicular Germ cell tumor diagnosis is based on physical examination, biology tests (serum tumor markers AFP, hCGt, LDH) and radiological assessment (scrotal ultrasound and chest, abdomen and pelvis computerized tomography). Total inguinal orchiectomy is the first-line treatment allowing characterization of the histological type, local staging and identification of risk factors for micrometastases. In case of several therapeutic options, one must inform his patient balancing risks and benefits. Surveillance is usually chosen in stage I seminoma compliant patients as the evolution rate is low between 15 to 20%. Carboplatin AUC7 is an alternative option. Radiotherapy indication should be avoided. In stage I non seminomatous patients, either surveillance or risk-adapted strategy can be applied. Staging retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy has restricted indications. Metastatic germ cell tumors are usually treated by PEB chemotherapy according to IGCCCG prognostic classification. Lombo-aortic radiotherapy is still a standard treatment for stage IIA. Residual masses should be evaluated by biological and radiological assessment 3 to 4 weeks after the end of chemotherapy. Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy is advocated for every non seminomatous residual mass more than one cm. 18FDG uptake should be evaluated for each seminoma residual mass more than 3 cm. CONCLUSIONS: - A rigorous use of classifications is mandatory to define staging since initial diagnosis. Applying treatments based on these classifications leads to excellent survival rates (99% in CSI, 85% in CSII+).

OBJECTIVE: - To update French urological guidelines on retroperitoneal sarcoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: - Comprehensive Medline search between 2018 and 2020 upon diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of retroperitoneal sarcoma. Level of evidence was evaluated. RESULTS: - Chest, abdomen and pelvis CT is mandatory to evaluate any suspected retroperitoneal sarcoma. MRI sometimes helps surgical planning. Before histological confirmation through biopsy, the patient must be registered in the French sarcoma pathology reference network. The biopsy standard should be an extraperitoneal coaxial percutaneous sampling before any retroperitoneal mass therapeutic decision. Surgery is retroperitoneal sarcoma cornerstone. The main objective is grossly negative margins and can be technically challenging. Multimodal treatment risks and benefits must be discussed in multidisciplinary teams. The relapse rate is related to tumor grade and surgical margins. Reported Negative margins rate thus encourage surgery in high-volume centers. CONCLUSION: - Retroperitoneal sarcoma prognosis is poor and closely related to the quality of initial management. Centralization through dedicated sarcoma pathology network in a high-volume center is mandatory.
