Lower urinary tract involvement in Ehlers-Danlos and Joint Hypermobility syndromes: Review of the literature.

Introduction: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and Joint Hypermobility syndrome (JHS) are still poorly understood, with a prevalence of 1/5000 for EDS and 1/500 for JHS. They are characterized by multisystem involvement. Urological involvement has been little studied.

Risk Factors for Artificial Urinary Sphincter Explantation and Erosion in Male Nonneurological Patients.

Purpose: This study was performed to assess the risk factors for artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) explantation in a large multicenter cohort.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records for all 1,233 implantations of the AMS-800 AUS device in male nonneurological patients from 2005 to 2020 across 13 French centers. Patients with neurological conditions were excluded from the study.

Prospective study of the epidemiology of urinary tract infections at short term and mid-term after initiation of intermittent self-catheterisation.

Introduction: Self-catheterisation (CIsC) is the gold standard treatment for bladder emptying disorders. A frequent complaint of patients undergoing CIsC is urinary tract infection (UTI). However, the epidemiology of UTIs remains poorly documented, particularly in the urological population.

Primary implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter using the perineal and penoscrotal approaches: Functional results and assessment of reoperative procedures.

Introduction: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the standard treatment for severe stress urinary incontinence in men. While the perineal access is considered the gold standard, some authors have proposed penoscrotal AUS in order to facilitate the procedure. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the duration of survival without revision surgery (SSRC) according to the surgical approach for primary implantation.

Which revision strategy is the best for non-mechanical failure of male artificial urinary sphincter?

Purpose: Persistence or recurrence of stress urinary incontinence (prSUI) after artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation may be secondary to non-mechanical failure (NOMECA). It have for long been assumed to result from urethral atrophy. Its existence is now debated.

[Sacral neuromodulation for bladder voiding dysfunction: Experience at a French university center].

Objective: To report the experience of a university hospital center with sacral neuromodulation for patients with bladder voiding disorders.

Material And Methods: All patients who underwent sacral neuromodulation between 1998 and 2022 for bladder voiding disorders were included. Medical records were analyzed retrospectively, and population, efficacy and follow-up data were collected.

Efficacy, Safety, and Reoperation-free Survival of Artificial Urinary Sphincter in Non-neurological Male Patients over 75 Years of Age.

Background: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is a gold standard treatment in male stress urinary incontinence but remains poorly used in elderly patients.

Objective: To assess the efficacy, safety, and reoperation-free survival of AUS implantation in male patients over 75 yr of age.

Design Setting And Participants: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all 1233 non-neurological male AUS implantations between 2005 and 2020 at 13 French centers.

Study of postoperative complications after the implementation of a multidisciplinary care pathway for patients with digestive endometriosis.

Purpose: To assess the quality of care following the establishment of a multidisciplinary care pathway for patient operated on for deep pelvic endometriosis with digestive impairment.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective monocentric study of patients suffering from deep infiltrating endometriosis, treated in Gynaecological Department at Toulouse University Hospital from January 2018 to December 2020. We compared our results to those of our previous study, Gornes et al.

[Artificial urinary sphincter in patients with urinary incontinence after High Intensity Focused ultrasound].

Introduction: Urinary incontinence after High Intensity Focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a poorly documented issue. To our knowledge, no study has evaluated the outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) after HIFU. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of AUS for post-HIFU urinary incontinence.

Impact of radiation therapy on artificial urinary sphincter implantation in male patients: A multicenter study.

Aims: To evaluate the impact of an history of radiation therapy on the outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in male patients.

Methods: The charts of all patients who underwent AUS implantation for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after prostate surgery in thirteen centers between 2004 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. We excluded patients with neurogenic SUI.

[Comparison of penoscrotal and perineal approaches for implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter in man].

Introduction: Artificial urinary sphincter is considered the gold standard of treatment for male urinary incontinence because of intrinsic sphincter deficiency. The objective of our study was to compare the functional results and complications of the penoscrotal and perineal incision for the implantation of artificial urinary sphincter.

Material And Methods: A retrospective, monocentric study comparing the perioperative and long-term results of primary implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter in men, performed by the penoscrotal or the perineal incision, was conducted in a French university hospital.

Early Efficacy and Safety Outcomes of Artificial Urinary Sphincter for Stress Urinary Incontinence Following Radical Prostatectomy or Benign Prostatic Obstruction Surgery: Results of a Large Multicentric Study.

Background: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard for the management of moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in the male population. While outcomes of this device in postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) are widely described, those obtained for incontinence after benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) surgery remains poorly explored.

Objective: To compare continence outcomes after AUS implantation in a PPI population with those obtained in men incontinent after BPO surgery.

Transcorporal vs. bulbar artificial urinary sphincter implantation in male patients with fragile urethra.

Purpose: To compare transcorporal vs bulbar artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in men with fragile urethra and to investigate the risk factors of AUS explantation in this population.

Methods: The charts of all male patients who had an AUS implantation between 2004 and 2020 in 16 centers were reviewed retrospectively. The primary endpoint was device explantation-free survival.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Artificial Urinary Sphincter Revision in Nonneurological Male Patients.

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of male artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) mechanical failures and nonmechanical failures.

Materials And Methods: The charts of all male patients who underwent AUS implantation between 2004 and 2020 in 16 centers were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with neurogenic stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were excluded as well as revisions/explantations due to infections and/or erosions.

[Survival analysis of adjustable continence therapy device (ACT®/proACT®): a new message for patients].

Introduction: The main purpose was to assess the failure free survival of adjustable continence therapy ACT®/proACT® after continence was obtained and to seek factors influencing it.

Material And Methods: Retrospective, single-center survival study of peri-urethral balloons implanted between 2007 and 2014. Efficacy was defined by the wearing of 0 or 1 safety pad per day.

[Knowledge, practices and expectations in the management of overactive bladder in general practice and gynecology in France].

Introduction: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a clinical syndrome characterized by urgency to urinate, with or without urinary incontinence, often associated with nycturia and pollakiuria. The aim of this practice survey is to identify diagnostic modalities and treatment circuits according to the patient's clinical profile and to practitioner's specialty.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 262 physicians practicing in France: 181 general practitioners (GPs) and 81 gynecologists.
