Long-term results of artificial urinary sphincter implantation for urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency in children.

Purpose: To report long-term results of artificial urinary sphincter implantation for urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency in children.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective monocentric study included all patients who underwent artificial urinary sphincter (AMS 800) implantation before 18 years of age between 1986 and October 2018 for intrinsic sphincter deficiency. The primary outcome was the continence rate at the last follow-up, defined by the daily use of 0 pads.

Management of post-operative urinary incontinence after midurethral sling explantation for pelvic or perineal pain.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to report the management of post-operative urinary incontinence after midurethral sling (MUS) revision for chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and to report functional outcomes.

Methods: From November 2004 to February 2018, a total of 89 women who underwent removal or section of MUS for CPP, were enrolled. Patients were divided into the transobturator tape (TOT) group (50 patients) and the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) group (37 patients); 2 patients had had both slings implanted.

Efficacy and tolerance of botulinum toxin injections after sacral nerve stimulation failure for idiopathic overactive bladder.

Introduction: Management of idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB) after the failure of sacral nerve modulation (SNM) is very challenging. To the best of our knowledge, no study has evaluated the use of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) after SNM failure for iOAB. The aim of this study is to evaluate the tolerance and efficacy of BoNT-A injection after the failure of SNM for iOAB.

Renal outcome after simultaneous heart and kidney transplantation.

Simultaneous heart-kidney transplant (HKTx) is a valid treatment for patients with coexisting heart and renal failure. The aim of this study was to assess renal outcome in HKTx and to identify predictive factors for renal loss. A retrospective study was conducted among 73 HKTx recipients: Donors' and recipients' records were reviewed to evaluate patients' and renal transplants' survival and their prognostic factors.

Artificial Urinary Sphincter in Male Patients with Spina Bifida: Comparison of Perioperative and Functional Outcomes between Bulbar Urethra and Bladder Neck Cuff Placement.

Purpose: We evaluated the perioperative and long-term functional outcomes of bladder neck and peribulbar cuff placement of an artificial urinary sphincter in a population of adult male patients with spinal dysraphism.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the French spina bifida network database. Patients who underwent implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter from January 1985 to November 2015 were selected and stratified into 2 groups according to cuff location, that is bladder neck vs bulbar urethra.
