Article Synopsis
- - The SATURN registry, a European multicenter study, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical devices for treating male stress urinary incontinence, focusing on cure rates during a 10-year follow-up, with 1-year results currently reported.
- - The study involved 1,046 male patients, primarily post-radical prostatectomy, using various implants like AMS800 and Advance, and showed varying self-reported continence rates—ranging from 11% to 76% depending on the device, with 32% of patients still experiencing incontinence after one year.
- - Patient-reported outcomes indicated improvements in quality of life, but a notable percentage of patients required revisions of their devices, suggesting complications remained a concern
Article Synopsis
- - Surgery for male incontinence with artificial urinary sphincters and slings (SATURN) is an observational study aimed at gathering data on male stress urinary incontinence surgeries across various European centers.
- - The registry will assess both short- and long-term outcomes of these surgeries, focusing on their effectiveness and how they affect patients' quality of life.
- - By collecting this prospective data, the study aims to improve understanding and treatment strategies for male urinary incontinence.
Background: Adverse events induced by intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) to treat high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) often lead to treatment discontinuation. The EAU-RF NIMBUS trial found a reduced number of standard-dose BCG instillations to be inferior with the standard regimen. Nonetheless, it remains important to evaluate whether patients in the reduced BCG treatment arm had better quality of life (QoL) due to a possible reduction in toxicity or burden.

Purpose: We evaluated unmet needs of lower urinary tract symptoms-benign prostatic enlargement pharmacological treatment by measuring symptom improvement, persistence and deterioration in real life. A prospective registry was conducted for 24 months in 5 European countries and analyzed by the European Association of Urology Research Foundation.
Materials And Methods: Previously untreated and treated patients were enrolled to the registry in both primary care and urology referral centers in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
