Eighteen years of experience in laparoscopic implantation of artificial urinary sphincter in women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

Introduction And Objectives: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is a treatment option for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after failure of previous surgery or as a primary procedure in severe intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). The aim of the study was to assess the long-term efficacy and risk factors for surgical revision and definitive explantation of AUS laparoscopic implantation in female patients.

Methods: A retrospective review of all women submitted to AUS implantation between April 2005 and March 2023 was conducted.

[CamiCon study: Evaluation of a new tool for automated and connected voiding calendar].

Introduction: A voiding diary (VD) is a key element in the evaluation of patients with overactive bladder (OAB) at initial presentation and during treatment to assess its effectiveness. In order to be clinically relevant, it must be performed over 3 days according to the International Continence Society (ICS). Unfortunately, some patients find it cumbersome.

External validation of the Briganti nomogram predicting lymph node invasion in patients with intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging-targeted and systematic biopsies: A European multicenter study.

Objective: To validate a nomogram predicting lymph node invasion (LNI) in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy taking into consideration multiparametric-magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) parameters and targeted biopsies in a western European cohort.

Patients And Methods: A total of 473 men diagnosed by targeted biopsies, using software-based MRI-ultrasound image fusion system, and operated by radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection across 11 Europeans centers between 2012 and 2019 were identified. Area under the curve of the receiver operator characteristic curve, calibration plot and decision curve analysis were used to evaluated the performance of the model.

Performing an early systematic Doppler-ultrasound fails to prevent hemorrhagic complications after complex partial nephrectomy.

Background: The aim of this work was to assess the clinical relevance of a systematic postoperative Doppler-ultrasound (DU) after complex partial nephrectomy (PN).

Materials And Methods: All patients who underwent open, laparoscopic or robotic PN from 2014 to 2017 at our institution were included. Postoperative hemorrhagic complications (HCs) were defined as the occurrence of blood transfusion, hemorrhagic shock, arterial embolization, or re-hospitalization for hematoma.

Laparoscopic artificial urinary sphincter implantation in women with stress urinary incontinence: update on 13 years' experience in a single centre.

Objectives: To update the outcomes and analyse the safety of laparoscopic implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) as a result of intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD).

Patients And Methods: Seventy-four women with SUI caused by ISD underwent laparoscopic AUS implantation between 2005 and 2018 in our centre. Urodynamic assessment was required.

Laparoscopic implantation of artificial urinary sphincter in women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency: Mid-term outcomes.

Objectives: To analyze the safety and the mid-term continence rates of laparoscopic implantation of artificial urinary sphincter in women.

Methods: A total of 52 women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency underwent a laparoscopic artificial urinary sphincter implantation from 2005 to 2015 at Surgical Clinic Du Pré, Le Mans, France. The artificial urinary sphincter was implanted around the bladder neck by a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach to the Retzius space.

Effect of Sulforaphane in Men with Biochemical Recurrence after Radical Prostatectomy.

Increases in serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) occur commonly in prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy and are designated "biochemical recurrence." Because the phytochemical sulforaphane has been studied extensively as an anticancer agent, we performed a double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled multicenter trial with sulforaphane in 78 patients (mean age, 69 ± 6 years) with increasing PSA levels after radical prostatectomy. Treatment comprised daily oral administration of 60 mg of a stabilized free sulforaphane for 6 months (M0-M6) followed by 2 months without treatment (M6-M8).

Extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: A prospective 2-year single-surgeon experience with 171 cases.

Objective: To assess the safety and the oncological and functional efficacy of a prospective series of extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (ELRP).

Patients And Methods: This prospective study included 171 consecutive patients (mean age 62.9 years, SD 6.

Laparoscopic promontofixation for pelvic organ prolapse: a 10-year single center experience in a series of 501 patients.

Objectives: To assess the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic promontofixation (LP) for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Methods: A total of 501 consecutive patients with POP were included in this prospective study. The patients' mean age was 63.

Artificial urinary sphincter (AMS 800) implantation for women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency: a technique for insiders?

Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation is one of several surgical options for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. It is indicated for women with both clinically and urodynamically defined intrinsic sphincter deficiency that significantly affects quality of life. The erosion/revision risk increases after several previous surgical interventions.

Laparoscopic artificial urinary sphincter implantation for female genuine stress urinary incontinence: technique and 4-year experience in 25 patients.

Objective: to assess the safety, feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic implantation of the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) in women with genuine stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Patients And Methods: from April 2005 to July 2009, 25 women (mean age 66.8 years) with genuine SUI had a laparoscopic implantation of the AUS (AMS 800(TM) , American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN, USA).

Long-term anatomical and functional results of laparoscopic promontofixation for pelvic organ prolapse.

Objective: To assess the long-term anatomical and functional outcomes of laparoscopic promontofixation (LP) for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), and the long-term safety of LP, as POP is a common problem in women of all ages, with treatment including vaginal, abdominal, laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgical approaches.

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective study of the first consecutive 186 women who underwent LP for POP, with or without stress urinary incontinence (SUI), from January 1998 to December 2002 in one centre. Those patients with concurrent SUI had LP with a Burch colposuspension or tension-free vaginal tape (TVT).

Laparoscopic sacral colpopexy approach for genito-urinary prolapse: experience with 363 cases.

Objective: To evaluate the surgical outcome, complications and benefits of laparoscopic double promonto-fixation for patients with pelvic prolapse.

Methods: Women with genito-urinary prolapse underwent a transperitoneal placement of a 100% polyester mesh on the anterior vaginal wall and a posterior mesh on the levator ani muscle. Both of these were anchored to the sacral promontory.
