[Correlation between symptoms and urodynamic results in patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.].

Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant complication after radical prostatectomy (RP). Although sphincter incompetence is considered the main cause; bladder dysfunction can contribute substantially. Our objective was to evaluate the results of the urodynamic study (UDS) in men with UI after radical prostatectomy and analyze the correlation between symptoms and urodynamic parameters.

Healthcare-Associated Infections after Lower Urinary Tract Endoscopic Surgery: Analysis of Risk Factors, Associated Microorganisms and Patterns of Antibiotic Resistance.

Objectives: To review the incidence of healthcare-associated infections/urinary tract infection (UTI), risk factors, microorganisms isolated and antibiotic resistances in patients who underwent lower urinary tract endoscopic surgery (LUTES) in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out including 1,498 patients who undergo LUTES. Patients with and without UTI after surgery were compared.

[Training program on medical urology: Future perspectives.].

Urology is defined as the medical-surgical specialty that includes the study, diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions of the urinary system. It is well specified by the National Commission of Specialties that we must know the medical pathology that concerns us. However, on occasions, resident training focuses on the surgical field and oncological pathology, which, although one of the main pillars of the specialty, is usually to the detriment of training in medical and functional pathology.

Urinary Infections in Patients with Catheters in the Upper Urinary Tract: Microbiological Study.

Background: Infections related to catheters in the upper urinary tract (CUUT) are associated with specific characteristics.

Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out from 2012 to 2015 to evaluate infections in patients with CUUT.

Results: A total of 209 infections were included (99 with double-J, 81 with nephrostomy, and 29 with internal/external nephroureteral stents).

Prospective study analyzing risk factors and characteristics of healthcare-associated infections in a Urology ward.

Purpose: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in urological patients have special features due to specific risk factors. Our objective was to evaluate the characteristics and risk factors for HAIs in patients hospitalized in a Urology ward.

Materials And Methods: We evaluated prospectively, from 2012 to 2015, the incidence, types and risk factor for HAIs, microbiological and resistance patterns.

[Healthcare-associated urinary tract infections in patients with a urinary catheter: Risk factors, microbiological characteristics and patterns of antibiotic resistance].

Objective: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are the most common nosocomial acquired infections, with high resistance rates. CAUTIs are a potentially severe complication in hospitalized patients and imply higher costs. Our aim was to analyze the characteristics of CAUTIs in our Urology department.
