Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if the length of the membranous urethra can predict the need for surgical intervention for postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI).
- Researchers analyzed men who underwent artificial urinary sphincter or male sling surgeries for PPI and compared them to a control group of men who remained continent after surgery.
- Results showed that those requiring surgery had significantly shorter membranous urethral lengths, indicating that lengths over 17 mm are unlikely to need surgery, while those under 12 mm have a much higher risk for requiring PPI surgery.
Bladder paragangliomas (bPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors arising from the sympathetic paraganglia present in the bladder wall. Bladder PGLs are typically submucosal or intramural but when subserosal may not be readily visible at cystoscopy. The average size at presentation is 3.

Hounsfield Units (HU) are used in other stone types to estimate 'hardness' and treatments based on that finding. Our objective was to report mean HU of cystine stones in vivo in a large case series of cystinuria patients and assess for differences in genotype.

This diverse range of surgical procedures can make imaging interpretation difficult and so familiarity with the postoperative anatomy is essential. Multiple imaging modalities and techniques are available for the radiologist's assessment including fluoroscopic studies, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and radionuclide imaging.
