Teverelix is a potential treatment option for the prevention of acute urinary retention recurrence in men suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of teverelix in treatment naïve patients aged over 50 years with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and to explore teverelix' potential in preventing AUR secondary to BPH with the aim to inform a planned Phase 2 trial.

Methods: This Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved BPH patients with an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 13 and uroflow < 13 mL/sec. After a 4-week single-blind placebo run-in, patients were randomized to receive teverelix 60 mg (n = 41) or placebo (n = 40) subcutaneously on day 1 and day 3.

Complications after male adjustable suburethral sling implantation.

Introduction: Argus suburethral sling implantation is a minimally invasive operation with the possibility to adjust the tension of the sling at any time after the procedure, which provides good treatment results for male stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Aim: To determine the predictive factors, the incidence, severity and timing of the onset of complications after Argus sling implantation for males with post-operative SUI.

Material And Methods: A total of 41 patients who underwent Argus sling implantation due to post-operative SUI were included.

Complications and their treatment after midurethral tape implantation using retropubic and transobturator approaches for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction: Midurethral tape implantation procedures currently are the first-line treatment for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Aim: To estimate the most common intraoperative and postoperative complications and their treatment methods after midurethral tape implantation using retropubic (tension-free vaginal tape - TVT) and transobturator (TOT) approaches for the treatment of female SUI.

Material And Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was performed on 367 women operated on due to SUI in the period from 2004 to 2015.

Treatment of recurrent stress urinary incontinence in women: comparison of treatment results for different surgical techniques.

Introduction: There is still no consensus on which surgical technique is the most effective for female recurrent stress urinary incontinence after the initial surgery.

Aim: To compare the long-term treatment outcomes of Burch colposuspension operation, transobturator tape implantation (TOT) and tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedures performed for female recurrent stress urinary incontinence after the initial surgery.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 45 women operated on for recurrent stress urinary incontinence after the initial surgery.

[Laparoscopic colposuspension - effective, minimally invasive method of treatment of female urinary incontinence].

The Aim Of Work: To describe laparoscopic method of treatment of female stress urinary incontinence, indications and contraindications for this operation, to show the first results of this operation in Lithuania, to find out the advantages of this method in comparison with open classical operations.

Materials And Methods: Ten patients were operated on laparoscopically in the period 1999-2001 due to stress urinary incontinence. The original Burch operation with sutures was performed for two patients, in 8 cases the colposuspension was performed using ligaments (prolene mesh).
