Purpose: This study directly compares peri-catheter retrograde urethrography (pcRUG) and voiding cysto-urethrography (VCUG) as early postoperative imaging after urethroplasty and aims to assess whether pcRUG is superior at avoiding catheter reinsertion.
Methods: This is a single-center, prospective, interventional study comparing pcRUG and VCUG after urethroplasty in a within-patient fashion. All participants were first evaluated with pcRUG and subsequently with VCUG, unless pcRUG revealed significant contrast extravasation warranting further catheter stay.
Objectives To explore the effect of electromotive drug administration of mitomycin C (EMDA-MMC) using a single dose of intravesical mitomycin C (MMC) to avoid transurethral resection (TURBT) for small non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Material and methods All patients presenting small (<2 cm), single or multiple papillary bladder tumors were proposed to undergo a single EMDA-MMC instillation with 60 mg MMC before planning TURBT. The end point is complete disappearance of all papillary tumors at 2-4 weeks after EMDA-MMC.
