Long-term Functional Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction After AdVance and AdVanceXP Male Sling Surgery.

Background: Transobturator male sling has gained increasing acceptance for the treatment of male urinary incontinence. Several prospective trials have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the AdVance and AdVanceXP slings.

Objective: To evaluate long-term functional outcomes after AdVance or AdVanceXP sling implant for non-neurogenic male stress urinary incontinence and identify factors associated with a higher risk for incontinence or decreased satisfaction.

Long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction after artificial urinary sphincter implantation.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term functional outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter implantation in men for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent artificial urinary sphincter implant for non-neurogenic stress urinary incontinence between June 1989 and January 2020 were included in this single-centre retrospective series. All patients with a functional artificial urinary sphincter in situ were contacted to evaluate long-term functional outcomes using validated questionnaires.

The feasibility and efficacy of catheterizable stoma's in adults.

Purpose Of Review: A continent vesicostomy represents a useful alternative for adult patients with impaired bladder emptying who are unable to perform clean intermittent (self-) catheterization through the urethra. In a pediatric setting, there exists a vast experience in these procedures. But experience with continent catheterizable vesicostomies is less abundant in adult patients.

Reduced length of stay in radical cystectomy patients with oral versus parenteral post-operative nutrition protocol.

Background: In Europe, parenteral nutrition is often used after radical cystectomy to avoid postoperative malnourishment. To the best of our knowledge, however, there is a paucity of data to conclude on the best modality for delivering nutritional support to this patient group.

Objective: The parenteral nutrition policy was reconsidered and an oral nutrition protocol was implemented by the clinical pharmacist and evaluated in terms of length of stay, number and type of postoperative complications and parenteral nutrition avoided costs.
