Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at men's experiences after getting an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) surgery again after having it fixed multiple times.
  • Most men felt good about their initial surgery, but some didn't know the device needed future fixes and wanted better follow-up care.
  • Overall, the AUS helped reduce how many pads they used for incontinence, showing it worked well for most of them.

Purpose: Patients may remain catheterized after artificial urinary sphincter surgery to prevent urinary retention, despite a lack of evidence to support this practice. Our study aims to evaluate the feasibility of outpatient, catheter-free continence surgery using a multi-institutional database. We hypothesize that between catheterized controls and patients without a catheter, there would be no difference in the rate of urinary retention or postoperative complications.

This paper hosts the first meaningful dialogue between two important epistemic movements for criminology: zemiology and decolonisation. I identify that zemiology has a disciplinary blindness to colonialism and explain this using Gurminder K. Bhambra's scholarship-and cognate scholarship-as a frame.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how previous radiation therapy impacts the lifespan and failure rates of artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs) in men.
  • It found that men with a history of radiation experienced significantly shorter times to device failure compared to those without (1.4 years vs. 3.5 years).
  • Specifically, prior radiation dramatically increased the risk of erosion or infection related to the AUS but did not affect the risk of urethral atrophy or mechanical failures.

Adenocarcinoma is a rare finding following urinary diversion with gastrointestinal segments. This report describes an 80-year-old woman with a history of bladder cancer who subsequently developed a pT4 adenocarcinoma 8 years following her radical cystectomy and Indiana Pouch continent urinary diversion. An en bloc resection of the pouch and affected small bowel was performed and the patient underwent conversion to an ileal conduit diversion.

Cancer survivors often have poor outcomes compared to their peers without cancer. Mortality from prostate cancer has been steadily decreasing, and these cancer survivors have other comorbidities that progress over time. Current study explores the type of admissions and associated risk factors with recurrent hospitalizations among prostate cancer survivors.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia among women >55 years seeking care for pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) and to describe the impact of cognitive impairment on condition-specific quality of life (QoL). We hypothesized that the prevalence of MCI would be at least 15% among this population.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of English-speaking women >55 years presenting for evaluation of PFDs.

Objective: This study aimed to characterize long-term urogynecologic issues of women with a history of bladder exstrophy and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and to assess the impact of POP repair on continence and sexual function.

Design: Patient demographics and surgical history related to exstrophy and POP were collected through chart review. Patient perceptions regarding sexual function, urinary continence, and quality of life were assessed through Web-based administration of validated questionnaires: International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form and POP-Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire.

Background: Increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse in women with a history of bladder exstrophy poses difficult management owing to the absence of anterior support and pelvic angle. We present a case of recurrent prolapse in the setting of bladder exstrophy and discuss factors that may warrant consideration during the evaluation of such patients.

Case: A 26-year-old nulliparous woman with a history of bladder exstrophy and pelvic organ prolapse initially repaired with a porcine graft sacral hysteropexy presented with suspected recurrent apical prolapse.
