Women in urology: what is their current situation in Spain?

Objective: To analyze the current state of women in urology in Spain.

Material And Methods: Descriptive study based on the results of an online survey sent between February and April 2020 through the database of the Residents and Young Urologists group (RAEU) of the Spanish Association of Urology (AEU). Characteristics of the survey and its results were analyzed.

Prevalence of metabolic acidosis in ileal diversions more than one year after radical cystectomy and associated secondary metabolic effects.

Introduction And Objective: Metabolic acidosis (MA) is a well-known complication in patients with ileal urinary diversions. It is common in the early postoperative stages and decreases over time. Our objective is to investigate the prevalence of MA after more than one year of follow-up, identify the associated risk factors, and analyze its secondary metabolic consequences.

Metabolic acidosis after ileal urinary diversion and radical cystectomy. Do we know as much as we think we do? A systematic review.

Urine contact with the mucosa of the urinary diversion (UD) after radical cystectomy (RC) produces different ion exchanges that favor the development of metabolic acidosis (MA). This phenomenon is a frequent cause of hospital readmission and short/long-term complications. We performed a systematic review of MA in RCs with ileal UD, analyzing its prevalence, diagnosis, risk factors and treatment.
