Bladder outflow obstruction in women: Clinical and basic evaluation.

Aim: Female bladder outflow obstruction is an underdiagnosed and undermanaged condition. This review article aims to illustrate the basic and clinical evaluation of patients who might have this condition.

Review: Clinical evaluation includes clinical history, examination, and basic investigations, including uroflowmetry and postvoid residual, urinalysis and culture, renal function assessment, ultrasound of kidneys and bladder, voiding cystourethrography, and magnetic resonance imaging.

Is Sacral Neuromodulation a Treatment Option for Primary Bladder Neck Obstruction?

Here, we present the first reported case that used sacral neuromodulation as a treatment option for bladder neck obstruction in a 48-year-old man who presented with a long-standing history of lower urinary tract symptoms such as storage and voiding symptoms unresponsive to conservative and medical treatments, including chemodenervation. The patient was diagnosed with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) using a urodynamic study, voiding cystourethrography, and cystoscopy. Sacral neuromodulation was used because the patient refused bladder neck incision because of the risk of retrograde ejaculation.

Technical aspects and outcome review of continent catheterizable channels in the adult neurourologic population.

Multiple techniques for the creation of continent catheterizable channels have been reported. Several continence mechanisms have been used, including tunneled flap valves, nipple valves, and hydraulic valves. Moreover, several organs have been used, including the appendix, bowel, ureters, and bladders.

Histopathological diagnoses and patterns in transrectal ultrasound-guided prostatic biopsy series from a large tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia.

Aim: The aim of the study was to report our transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostatic biopsy histopathological diagnoses and clinical findings in our prostate cancer patients in a tertiary care center.

Methods: We have reviewed our TRUS biopsy series done in our department from January 2011 to December 2016. We reviewed our patient's prebiopsy prostate-specific antigen (PSA) findings and the histopathological diagnoses and determined the clinical and pathological features of prostate cancer patients in our series.

Is Early Surgical Treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Preferable to Prolonged Medical Therapy: Pros and Cons.

Treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has shifted over the last decades, with medical therapy becoming the primary treatment modality while surgery is being reserved mostly to patients who are not responding to medical treatment or presenting with complications from BPH. Here, we aim to explore the evidence supporting or not early surgical treatment of BPH as opposed to prolonged medical therapy course. The debate was presented with a "pro and con" structure.

The use of vaginal lasers in the treatment of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder, systematic review.

Objectives: To evaluate the available literature to assess the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of lasers in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB).

Methods: Pubmed search was conducted up to May 2020, including observational and investigational human studies that documented the effects on laser treatment in SUI and OAB.

Results: A total of 27 studies, recording subjective or objective measures in SUI or OAB were included.

Relationship between urinary incontinence symptoms and urodynamic findings using a validated Arabic questionnaire.

Background: Urinary incontinence is common, particularly in women. Urodynamic studies (UDS) can accurately assess the condition. Less invasive objective measuring tools correlate with urodynamic findings, but the Arabic version of the Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) questionnaire has not been previously correlated with UDS in Arabian patients.

Priapism associated with pregabalin.

Priapism is a well-known cause of erectile dysfunction. There are a wide variety of causes, including hemoglobinopathy, neurological diseases, and drugs. We present a case report of an Asian man who presented with priapism that was continuous for 3 days after taking three doses of pregabalin for chronic back pain.
