RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND METHODS: Prostate biopsy (PB) is an essential step in the diagnosis and active surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). Transperineal PB (TP-PB) is now the recommended approach and is mostly conducted under local anesthesia. However, this procedure can potentially cause anxiety for patients, given the oncological context and the fear of peri-procedural pain and complications. The objective of this narrative review is to summarize the currently available tools for the management of peri-interventional anxiety during TP-PB, with a particular emphasis on the potential role of virtual reality (VR) in this setting. RESULTS: In TP-PB, preoperative anxiety can lead to increased pain perception, longer procedure time, and decreased patient satisfaction. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches have been explored to reduce anxiety, such as premedication, deep sedation, education, relaxation techniques, hypnosis, and music therapy, albeit with mixed results. VR has recently emerged in the technological armamentarium for managing pain and anxiety, and the efficiency of this technology has been evaluated in various medical fields, including pediatrics, gastroenterology, urology, gynecology, and psychiatry. CONCLUSION: Despite the paucity of available data, VR appears to be a safe and effective technique in reducing anxiety in many procedures, even in frail patients. No studies have evaluated the role of VR in TP-PB. Future research should thus explore the optimal way to implement VR technology and any potential benefits for TP-PB patients.

RESUMO

Immersive technologies (IT) are undergoing significant expansion in medicine. Among them, virtual augmented or mixed reality offers an interactive or immersive virtual environments to its users, opening a wide array of applications in modern medicine. IT seem particularly interesting in urology, offering a real-time overlay of diagnostic information onto the surgical field and helping visualizing complex anatomical structures, potentially enhancing intraoperative decision-making. Training through realistic simulations with IT represent an excellent and secure tool for trainees and urologists. Finally, patient's comfort during procedures under local anesthesia could be optimized with the use of IT. Further studies are awaited to validate their effectiveness and evaluate their costs to permit their integration into routine medical practice.


Les technologies immersives (TI) connaissent une expansion significative dans le domaine médical. Parmi elles, la réalité virtuelle, augmentée ou mixte offre un environnement virtuel interactif ou immersif à ses utilisateurs, avec une vaste palette d'applications dans la médecine moderne. En urologie, elles sont particulièrement intéressantes, notamment dans la superposition d'informations diagnostiques en temps réel sur le champ opératoire ou la visualisation de structures anatomiques complexes, ce qui peut améliorer la prise de décision peropératoire. La formation à l'aide de simulations réalistes représente un excellent outil pour l'urologue. Enfin, le confort du patient lors des gestes techniques sous anesthésie locale peut être optimisé à l'aide des TI. Des études ultérieures sont nécessaires pour valider leur efficacité et évaluer leur coût avant une intégration dans la pratique médicale courante.

RESUMO

Radiation-induced cystitis (RIHC) is a late complication of pelvic radiation therapy defined by irritative lower urinary tract symptoms with recurrent and sometimes refractory hematuria. Conservative or endoscopic treatments are the first lines, but cystectomy in required in refractory cases. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) has recently emerged in the management charts for recurrent and refractory hematuria. Thanks to its neoangiogenic and stem-cell stimulation properties, HOT achieves a complete resolution of hematuria in almost two third of patients and appears to be a good therapeutic alternative for this fragile population. However, its geographical availability is currently limited in Switzerland and its implementation can sometimes require long hospital stays.


La cystite radio-induite (CR) est une complication tardive de la radiothérapie pelvienne se présentant notamment sous forme de troubles mictionnels irritatifs ou de macrohématurie récidivante. Le traitement est initialement conservateur ou endoscopique mais peut, dans des cas réfractaires, aboutir à une cystectomie à visée hémostatique ou fonctionnelle. L'oxygénothérapie hyperbare (OHB) a récemment fait son apparition dans les diagrammes de prise en charge de la CR réfractaire. Grâce à ses propriétés néoangiogéniques et à la stimulation des cellules souches, elle permet une résolution complète de l'hématurie chez près de deux tiers des patients et semble être une alternative thérapeutique pour cette population fragile. Actuellement, sa disponibilité géographique reste toutefois limitée en Suisse et sa réalisation implique parfois de longues hospitalisations.

RESUMO

Chronic testicular pain represents up to 5% of urological consultations. A simple workup can help identify an organic etiology in 50 to 75% of cases, leading to a targeted treatment. If this is not the case, chronic idiopathic orchialgia is diagnosed and multidisciplinary management is necessary. Treatment is initially conservative but is only effective in 4 to 15% of patients. Spermatic block by infiltration of the cord confirms the testicular origin of the pain and provides temporary relief. Microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord is the treatment of choice for responders. It provides significant pain relief in 77 to 100% of cases.


Les douleurs testiculaires chroniques représentent jusqu'à 5 % des consultations d'urologie. Un bilan simple retrouve une étiologie organique dans 50 à 75 % des cas permettant un traitement ciblé. Le cas échéant, le diagnostic d'exclusion d'orchialgie chronique idiopathique est retenu et une prise en charge multidisciplinaire est alors nécessaire. Le traitement est initialement conservateur, mais n'est efficace que chez 4 à 15 % des patients. La réalisation d'un bloc spermatique par infiltration du cordon permet de confirmer l'origine testiculaire des douleurs et apporte un soulagement temporaire. La dénervation microchirurgicale du cordon spermatique est le traitement de choix pour les répondeurs. Il permet un soulagement significatif des douleurs dans 77 à 100 % des cas.
