Endo-Urological Techniques for Benign Uretero-Ileal Strictures Have Poor Efficacy and Affect Renal Function.

Introduction: Uretero-ileal strictures (UES) following urinary diversion are therapeutically challenging. We compared the efficacy, safety and renal outcome following therapeutic endo-urological techniques (EUTs) and open surgical revision of the anastomosis (SRA) for UES.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively analysed all EUTs and SRAs performed for UES in 2 hospitals between 1987 and 2015.

Primary urethral carcinoma in females: an epidemiologic study on demographical factors, histological types, tumour stage and survival.

Purpose: To obtain insight into demographical factors, histology and survival rates of females diagnosed with primary urethral cancer and to determine favourable treatment.

Methods: Data from 91 females with primary urethral carcinoma, age varying from 15 to 85 years, registered between 1989 and 2008 at the National Cancer Registry of the Netherlands were used for this study. Demographical factors, incidence rate, morphology and tumour stage according to TNM classification were analysed.

The international prostate symptom score overestimates nocturia assessed by frequency-volume charts.

Purpose: We analyzed differences in nocturia, as estimated by the International Prostate Symptom Score and 7-day frequency-volume charts.

Materials And Methods: A total of 398 forms were collected from 500 consecutive urological outpatients willing to record a 7-day frequency-volume chart. All patients completed a general questionnaire, an International Prostate Symptom Score, and a bladder symptom and bother score.

A cross-sectional study of the international prostate symptom scores related to age and gender in Dutch adults reporting no voiding complaints.

Objective: To determine the IPSS in a selected population reporting no voiding complaints.

Subjects And Methods: 1143 adults without voiding complaints were included. They were divided over both sexes and all decades.
