RESUMO
PURPOSE: We assess the efficacy, safety, and predictive factors for failure of synthetic mid-urethral slings for the treatment of urinary incontinence in a large cohort of women with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Women aged 18 years or older who received a synthetic mid-urethral sling for stress urinary incontinence or mixed urinary incontinence in 3 centers between 2004 and 2019 and who had a neurological disorder were included. Exclusion criteria were less than 1 year of follow-up, concomitant pelvic organ prolapse repair, previous synthetic sling implantation, and no baseline urodynamics. The primary outcome was surgical failure, defined as recurrence of stress urinary incontinence during follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate the 5-year failure rate. Adjusted Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify factors associated with surgical failure. Complications and reoperations during the follow-up have also been reported. RESULTS: A total of 115 women with a median age of 53 years were included. The median follow-up duration was 75 months. The 5-year failure rate was 48% (95 CI 46%-57%). Age above 50 years, negative tension-free vaginal tape test and transobturator route were associated with surgical failure. Thirty-six patients (31.3%) underwent at least 1 reoperation for complications or failure, and 2 required definitive intermittent catheterization. CONCLUSIONS: Synthetic mid-urethral slings may be an acceptable alternative to autologous slings or artificial urinary sphincters for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in a selected group of patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.

BACKGROUND: While intravesical injections of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) are currently recommended for patients experiencing refractory neurogenic overactive bladder and/or detrusor overactivity (OAB/DO), it is unclear how much this therapy is effective and sustainable in the long-term in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVES: To assess the mid-term continuation rate of BoNT-A injections to treat neurogenic OAB/DO in MS patients and to investigate MS-specific risk factors for discontinuation. METHODS: This retrospective study involved 11 French university hospital centers. All MS patients who received BoNT-A to treat neurogenic OAB/DO between 2008 and 2013 and were subsequently followed up for at least 5 years were eligible. RESULTS: Of the 196 MS patients included, 159 (81.1%) were still under BoNT-A 5 years after the first injection. The combination of the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS < 6 or ⩾ 6) and of the MS type (relapsing-remitting vs progressive) predicted the risk of discontinuation. This risk was 5.5% for patients with no risk factor, whereas patients presenting with one or two risk factors were 3.3 and 5.7 times more likely to discontinue, respectively. CONCLUSION: BoNT-A is a satisfying mid-term neurogenic OAB/DO therapy for most MS patients. Combining EDSS and MS type could help predict BoNT-A discontinuation.

PURPOSE: To report long-term results of artificial urinary sphincter implantation for urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency in children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective monocentric study included all patients who underwent artificial urinary sphincter (AMS 800) implantation before 18 years of age between 1986 and October 2018 for intrinsic sphincter deficiency. The primary outcome was the continence rate at the last follow-up, defined by the daily use of 0 pads. The secondary outcome was the overall survival of the device, defined as the absence of any repeated surgery (revision or explantation) during follow-up. Reoperation-free, revision-free, and explantation-free device survival rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Thirty-six patients with a median age of 12 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 10-14) were included (15 females, 21 males). The median follow-up was 18.7 years (IQR: 9-26). The main underlying condition was spinal dysraphism (n = 24; 67%). The median time to the first reoperation was 9 years (IQR: 3.75-14.7). At the last follow-up, survival rates without revision were 84%, 71%, 55%, and 33% at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years, respectively. Survival rates without explantation were 91%, 84%, 80%, and 72% at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years, respectively. At the last follow-up, 29 patients had a functional device. The overall continence rate was 88%. All patients who had their device still in place were continent at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: The artificial urinary sphincter is an effective long-term treatment for urinary incontinence related to intrinsic sphincter deficiency in children, providing a high rate of continence, even if associated with a high rate of reoperation.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess midterm functional outcomes and complications of robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a retrospective single center study including all patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion between January 2008 and December 2018 for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. Perioperative data, early and late complications, reoperation rate, renal function, and patient satisfaction (PGI-I) were evaluated. RESULTS: One hundred and forty patients were included (70 multiple sclerosis, 37 spinal cord injuries, 33 others) with a median follow-up of 29 months (12-49). The main indication for surgery was an inability to perform intermittent self-catheterization (n = 125, 89%). The early complication rate (<30 days) was 41% (n = 58), including 72% (n = 45) minor complications (Clavien I-II) and 29% (n = 17) major complications (Clavien III-V). Three patients died in the early postoperative period. Late complications appear in 41% (n = 57), with 9% (n = 13) being ureteroileal anastomotic stricture. The overall reintervention rate was 19% (n = 27), mainly for lithiasis surgery. Pre- and postoperative renal function were comparable. Most of patients reported an improvement in their quality of life following their surgery (PGI-I 1-2). CONCLUSION: Robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy with non-continent urinary diversion may be of particular interest in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction who are unable to benefit from conservative treatment, as it provides midterm protection of the upper urinary tract and an improvement in quality of life.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on functional urology procedures in France. METHODS: A prospective study was conducted within 11 secondary and tertiary referral centers in France. Patients aged > 18 years who were diagnosed with a functional urology disease before the national lockdown (March 17th, 2020) and who required a surgery were included. Study period went from March 17th to September 30th 2020. The included interventions were listed according to the guidelines for functional urology enacted by the French Association of Urology and delay of reoperation was compared to the guidelines' delay. The primary outcome was the number of procedures left unscheduled at the end of the study period. Descriptive statistics were performed. RESULTS: From March 17th 2020 to September 3 rd 2020, 1246 patients with a previous diagnosis of a functional urological disease requiring a surgery were included. The mean follow-up was 140.4 days (± 53.4). Overall, 316 interventions (25.4%) were maintained whereas 74 (5.9%) were canceled, 848 (68.1%) postponed and 8 patients (0.6%) died. At the end of the follow-up, 184 patients (21.7%) were still not rescheduled. If the intervention was postponed, the mean delay between the initial and final date was 85.7 days (± 64.4). CONCLUSION: Overall, more than two thirds of interventions had to be postponed and the mean delay between the initial and final date was about three months.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective was to report the management of post-operative urinary incontinence after midurethral sling (MUS) revision for chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and to report functional outcomes. METHODS: From November 2004 to February 2018, a total of 89 women who underwent removal or section of MUS for CPP, were enrolled. Patients were divided into the transobturator tape (TOT) group (50 patients) and the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) group (37 patients); 2 patients had had both slings implanted. We report the rate of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) recurrence, the rate of de novo urge urinary incontinence (UUI), the need for subsequent SUI or UUI surgery, and functional outcomes (pain and continence). RESULTS: Median follow-up was 41.4 months [0.9-138.8]. SUI recurrence or de novo UUI occurred in 52 cases (58.4%): 19 (51.3%) patients in the TVT group, 31 (62%) in the TOT group, and both patients (100%) who underwent total removal of both slings. Among patients with SUI recurrence or de novo UUI, 39 (75%) had pain relief after sling removal. Seventeen patients (32.6%) refused any treatment, 14 (26.9%) were cured with conservative therapy, and 21 (40.3%) underwent SUI or UUI surgery. One patient had de novo pelvic pain after reoperation. The overall continence rate for all patients who underwent sling revision was 82% (73 out of 89) at the last follow-up. CONCLUSION: After MUS revision for CPP, post-operative UI may occur in 58.4% of patients, of which, one-fourth may be managed with conservative measures only. Forty percent of them had redo surgery with a low risk of pain recurrence and a high rate of urinary continence.

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of synthetic mid-urethral slings (sMUS) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). METHODS: A systematic review was performed and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane controlled trials databases were systematically searched from January 1995 to April 2021. Studies including adult women with NLUTD who had a sMUS for SUI were considered for inclusion. Primary outcome was success of the surgery according to study criteria. Secondary outcomes were complications, especially de novo urgency, urinary retention, tape exposure and revision for complications. RESULTS: A total of 752 abstracts were screened and 9 studies were included, representing 298 patients. The mean age was 52 years and median follow-up was 41.3 months. sMUS insertion was successful in 237 patients (79.5%). The median rate of de novo urgency was 15.7% (range 8.3-30%). In patients with spontaneous voiding, the median rate of retention was 19.3% (range 0-46.7%) and 21 out of 26 patients required intermittent self-catheterisation. Four cases of tape exposure were reported, and 8 patients underwent a revision for complications. CONCLUSIONS: This review suggests that sMUS might offer interesting success rates and acceptable morbidity and could be considered for the treatment of SUI in women with NLUTD. Further studies are required to define which patients would be more likely to benefit from this intervention, as well as its place among the other surgical treatments for SUI.

INTRODUCTION: Management of idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB) after the failure of sacral nerve modulation (SNM) is very challenging. To the best of our knowledge, no study has evaluated the use of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) after SNM failure for iOAB. The aim of this study is to evaluate the tolerance and efficacy of BoNT-A injection after the failure of SNM for iOAB. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective multicentric analysis of all patients who had received either onabotulinumtoxinA or abobotulinumtoxinA intradetrusor injection for iOAB after SNM failure, between January 2004 and December 2017. The primary outcome was the percentage of success of first BoNT-A injection (either resolution of their urinary incontinence or their frequency or more than 50% reduction in frequency). Secondary outcomes were results of urodynamic studies, complications, total number of injections, causes of withdrawal, and subsequent treatment. RESULTS: Seventy-six patients (62 female) were included. The percentage of success of first BoNT-A injection was 43.4% (n = 33). All overactive bladder symptoms were significantly improved on the 3-day bladder diary. Twenty-eight patients (36.8%) were put under clean intermittent self-catheterization transitory. After a mean follow-up of 57.7 (±38.5) months, median number of injections was 2 (1-15). Overall, 42 patients (55.2%) stopped injections during follow-up. The estimated 36-months discontinuation-free rate was 48.1%. Mean cause of discontinuation was a primary failure (n = 32; 42.1%). CONCLUSION: BoNT-A can be used in SNM nonresponders with a success rate of 43.4% but is associated with a high long-term discontinuation rate.

PURPOSE: Data are lacking on long-term outcomes of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A for neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A for neurogenic detrusor overactivity after more than 10 years of followup. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all consecutive neurological patients who had received onabotulinumtoxin A or abobotulinumtoxin A intradetrusor injections for neurogenic detrusor overactivity between January 2002 and November 2007 at a total of 3 academic centers. The primary outcome measure was the 10-year discontinuation rate. Other outcomes of interest were failure, reasons for discontinuation and subsequent treatments of neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Discontinuation-free and failure-free survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analyses. RESULTS: A total of 140 patients were included in study. The 10-year discontinuation-free and failure-free survival rates were 49.1% and 73%, respectively. The most common reason for discontinuation was failure in 43.7% of cases, which was primary and secondary in 17.2% and 26.5%, respectively. Secondary failure occurred after a median of 8 injections and a median of 80.1 months from the first injection. Other reasons for discontinuation were patient decision in 28.1% of patients, nonbotulinum toxin A related improvement of urinary incontinence in 14.1%, neurological condition progression in 12.5% and an adverse event in 1.6%. Discontinuation-free survival was significantly poorer in patients with spina bifida than in patients with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury (p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: More than half of the patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity discontinued intradetrusor botulinum toxin A within the first 10 years after the initial injection. Patients with spina bifida are at high risk for discontinuation.

PURPOSE: The aim of the current study was to determine the outcomes of botulinum toxin A intradetrusor injections in adult patients with spina bifida. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients with spinal dysraphism who underwent intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A from 2002 to 2016 at a total of 14 centers were retrospectively included in analysis. The primary end point was the global success of injections, defined subjectively as the combination of urgency, urinary incontinence and detrusor overactivity/low bladder compliance resolution. Univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to seek predictors of global success. RESULTS: A total of 125 patients were included in study. The global success rate of the first injection was 62.3% with resolution of urinary incontinence in 73.5% of patients. All urodynamic parameters had improved significantly by 6 to 8 weeks compared to baseline, including maximum detrusor pressure (-12 cm H2O, p <0.001), maximum cystometric capacity (86.6 ml, p <0.001) and compliance (8.9 ml/cm H2O, p = 0.002). A total of 20 complications (3.6%) were recorded for the 561 intradetrusor botulinum toxin A injections, including 3 muscular weakness complications. The global success rate of the first injection was significantly lower in patients with poor compliance (34.4% vs 86.9%, OR 0.08, p <0.001). On multivariate analysis poor compliance was associated with a lower global success rate (OR 0.13, p <0.001). Female gender (OR 3.53, p = 0.01) and patient age (OR 39.9, p <0.001) were predictors of global success. CONCLUSIONS: Intradetrusor botulinum toxin A injections were effective in adult patients with spina bifida who had detrusor overactivity. In contrast, effectiveness was much lower in adult patients with spina bifida who had poor bladder compliance. The other predictors of global success were female gender and older age.

AIMS: To evaluate the impact of the pre-operative maximum detrusor pressure (MDP) on efficacy outcomes after incontinentation by sphincterotomy or urethral stent placement in male patients with neurogenic detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD). METHODS: A retrospective study was performed in 41 male patients treated between 2006 and 2013 in a tertiary reference center. All patients had a neurogenic DSD confirmed by baseline urodynamic studies, and were unable or secondary failed to practice CISC. Success was defined as a post-void residual volume <150 mL. Influence of MDP on treatment efficacy was evaluated through a Mann-Whitney U-Test. RESULTS: Median (range) age was 39 years (20-69). Spinal cord injury was the main underlying condition. Twenty-six patients had a sphincteric stent placement (Memocath®, Bard, Covington) and 15 had surgical sphincterotomy. Treatment was successful in 31 patients (76%). Patients with immediate successful outcomes had a significantly higher mean preoperative MDP (59.6 vs 29.7 cmH2 O; P = 0.002). Patients with MDP over the threshold of 40 cmH2 O had a 90% success rate. These differences were maintained at 6 months, MDP being higher in the success group than in the failure group (59.5 vs 39.8 cmH2 O, respectively, P = 0.008). The technique used (stent placement or incision) had no impact on immediate or 6-month success rates. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggested that MDP is associated with treatment success rate after surgical management of DSD of neurogenic origin by sphincteric stent placement or surgical sphincterotomy. A threshold of 40 mH2 O is associated with higher success rates.

BACKGROUND: Functional dyspepsia and bladder pain syndrome are well-known to overlap with irritable bowel syndrome. Whether functional dyspepsia overlaps with bladder pain syndrome remains unknown. Our aim was to evaluate the presence of bladder pain syndrome in functional dyspepsia patients and its impact. METHODS: All consecutive patients with investigated dyspeptic symptoms in our tertiary care center between March 2015 and November 2018 were studied. Functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome were diagnosed according to Rome III and IV criteria while bladder pain syndrome was diagnosed using ESSIC criteria. Validated questionnaires were filled to assess quality of life (GIQLI), anxiety and depression (HADS), sleep (PSQI), and insomnia (ISI). Dyspeptic symptoms severity was assessed individually for eight dyspeptic complaints. KEY RESULTS: Among 1453 patients with dyspeptic symptoms, 61.4% fulfilled Rome criteria for functional dyspepsia. Bladder pain syndrome was present in 16.0% of the patients not fulfilling diagnostic criteria for functional dyspepsia, 22.2% of patients with functional dyspepsia alone, and 36.4% of patients with overlapping functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome (p-values <0.0001). In patients with bladder pain syndrome overlapping with functional dyspepsia, dyspeptic symptoms severity, anxiety, depression, and insomnia levels were higher while quality of life and sleep quality were reduced (p-values <0.0001). These results were even more pronounced in case of overlap with irritable bowel syndrome (p-values <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES: Bladder pain syndrome is present in 26.9% of functional dyspepsia patients and is associated with higher gastrointestinal, psychological distresses, and sleep symptom burdens, and with reduced quality of life.

BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome and bladder pain syndrome often overlap and are both characterized by visceral hypersensitivity. Since pelvic organs share common sensory pathways, it is likely that those syndromes involve a cross-sensitization of the bladder and the colon. The precise pathophysiology remains poorly understood. AIM: To develop a model of chronic bladder-colon cross-sensitization and to investigate the mech-anisms involved. METHODS: Chronic cross-organ visceral sensitization was obtained in C57BL/6 mice using ultrasound-guided intravesical injections of acetic acid under brief isoflurane anesthesia. Colorectal sensitivity was assessed in conscious mice by measuring intracolonic pressure during isobaric colorectal distensions. Myeloperoxidase, used as a marker of colorectal inflammation, was measured in the colon, and colorectal permeability was measured using chambers. c-Fos protein expression, used as a marker of neuronal activation, was assessed in the spinal cord (L6-S1 level) using immunohistochemistry. Green fluorescent protein on the fractalkine receptor-positive mice were used to identify and count microglia cells in the L6-S1 dorsal horn of the spinal cord. The expression of NK1 receptors and MAPK-p38 were quantified in the spinal cord using western blot. RESULTS: Visceral hypersensitivity to colorectal distension was observed after the intravesical injection of acetic acid vs saline (P < 0.0001). This effect started 1 h post-injection and lasted up to 7 d post-injection. No increased permeability or inflammation was shown in the bladder or colon 7 d post-injection. Visceral hypersensitivity was associated with the increased expression of c-Fos protein in the spinal cord (P < 0.0001). In green fluorescent protein on the fractalkine receptor-positive mice, intravesical acetic acid injection resulted in an increased number of microglia cells in the L6-S1 dorsal horn of the spinal cord (P < 0.0001). NK1 receptor and MAPK-p38 levels were increased in the spinal cord up to 7 d after injection (P = 0.007 and 0.023 respectively). Colorectal sensitization was prevented by intrathecal or intracerebroventricular injections of minocycline, a microglia inhibitor, by intracerebroventricular injection of CP-99994 dihydrochloride, a NK1 antagonist, and by intracerebroventricular injection of SB203580, a MAPK-p38 inhibitor. CONCLUSION: We describe a new model of cross-organ visceral sensitization between the bladder and the colon in mice. Intravesical injections of acetic acid induced a long-lasting colorectal hypersensitivity to distension, mediated by neuroglial interactions, MAPK-p38 phosphorylation and the NK1 receptor.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the outcomes of ileal conduit as a salvage therapy for refractory lower urinary tract dysfunctions (LUTDs) due to multiple sclerosis (MS) in a national neurourology referral center network. METHODS: A retrospective multicenter French study was carried out to identify MS patients who underwent non-continent urinary diversion for refractory LUTDs from January 2010 to December 2015. Multiple sclerosis status, urological history, surgical indication and technique, postoperative complications, renal anatomy and function at last follow-up as well as number of rehospitalizations for urinary tract infections (UTI) were collected. Preoperative and postoperative urinary-related quality of life (urQoL) through the Qualiveen short-form questionnaire (QSF) and patient global impression of improvement (PGI-I) were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Overall, 10 centers identified 211 patients with a mean age of 54±11 and mean preoperative EDSS (expanded disability status scale) score of 7.3±0.9. The main indication for diversion was MS progression leading to impossible intermittent self-catheterization (55%). Cystectomy was performed either by open (34.6%), laparoscopic (39.3%) or robotic (21.8%) approach (unknown: 4.2%) with cystectomy in all cases. Early complications were reported in 42% of the patients, mainly Clavien I or II grades. There was no difference in GFR (glomerular filtration rate) after surgery. After diversion, patients had fewer hospitalizations for UTI and better urQoL on QSF confirmed by evaluation of PGI-I. CONCLUSION: This study, reporting the largest series of ileal conduit in selected MS patients with end-stage LUTDs, showed significant improvement in symptomatic UTI and quality of life with a low high-grade complication rate.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin type A (IDBTX-A) in children with spina bifida. METHODS: All patients aged less than 16 years old who underwent IDBTX-A between 2002 and 2016 at 6 institutions were included in a retrospective study. Our primary endpoint was the success rate of IDBTX-A defined as both clinical improvement (no incontinence episodes between clean intermittent catheterizations [CICs], absence of urgency, and less than 8 CICs per day) and urodynamic improvement (resolution of detrusor overactivity and normal bladder compliance for age) lasting ≥12 weeks. Predictive factors of success were assessed through univariate analysis. RESULTS: Fifty-three patients with a mean age of 8.5 years were included. All patients were under CIC and 88.7% had received anticholinergics with either poor efficacy or bothersome adverse events. The global success rate of the first injection (clinical and urodynamic) was 30%. Patients with closed spinal dysraphism had a significantly better success rate than patients with myelomeningocele (P = .002). The clinical success rate was 66% and was significantly associated with maximum urethral closure pressure (34 cm H2O vs 54.4 cm H2O, P = .02). The urodynamic success rate was 34%. Maximum cystometric capacity (P <.0001) and compliance (P = .01) significantly improved after the first IDBTX-A and maximum detrusor pressure tended to decrease (P = .09) except in the subgroup of patients with poor compliance. After a mean follow-up of 3.7 years, 23 patients (43.4%) required augmentation cystoplasty. Excluding 6 patients who were lost to follow-up, 38.3% of patients were still undergoing botulinum toxin injections at last follow-up. CONCLUSION: In this series, despite the fact that IDBTX-A enabled clinical improvement in 66% patients, urodynamic outcomes were poor resulting in a low global success rate (30%).

Intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin are the cornerstone of medical treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The primary aim of this treatment is to ensure a low pressure regimen in the urinary bladder, but the mechanisms leading to long-term protection of the urinary tract remain poorly understood. In this paper, we highlight the potential benefits of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin regarding local effects on the bladder structures, urinary tract infections, stone disease, vesico ureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, renal function based on a comprehensive literature review.
RESUMO
Thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney is an extremely rare histological variant of renal cell carcinoma. It was described only recently and is not included in the World Health Organization classification of renal tumors. This tumor characteristically shows similar histology to thyroid follicular carcinoma but lacks typical thyroid markers. Herein, we report a new case of thyroid-like follicular carcinoma of the kidney diagnosed in a partial nephrectomy specimen in a 68-year-old-woman. We present typical histological and immunohistochemical findings, discuss differential diagnosis and provide a review of the literature.Virtual Slides: The virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/13000_2014_186.
