Optimization of the outcome of percutaneous nephrolithotomy regarding urinary leakage, what should we do?

To evaluate the factors affecting urinary leakage post percutaneous nephrolithotomy. To define those at high risk in whom a double J stent for 4 weeks or external ureteral catheter fixation for at least 3 days is indicated at the end of procedure. A total of 140 patients who underwent single-stage Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with single or multiple accesses were included between February 2014 and March 2019.

Nocturnal enuresis in women and its relation to urinary incontinence.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis (NE) in Egyptian women, its relation to urinary incontinence (UI), and the impact on their quality of life (QoL).

The reliability and reproducibility of ultrasonography for measuring the residual urine volume in men with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Objective: To assess the reliability and reproducibility of abdominal ultrasonography (US) for measuring the postvoid residual urine volume (PVR), and to compare measurements by a radiologist and urologist, in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), as a significant PVR is common in patients with LUTS and an assessment of the PVR could protect patients from unnecessary catheterisation.

Patients And Methods: This was a prospective comparative study of 45 men aged ⩾45 years with LUTS attending a urological outpatient clinic from July 2011 to May 2012. A detailed history was taken, with an assessment of LUTS using the Arabic Validated International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and complete general and local examination.

The assessment of sexual dysfunction in Egyptian women with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) has been reported in 46% of women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). FSD is a common health problem that remains under-investigated, especially in Eastern communities, where discussion of the issue is considered a taboo. In this study we determined the prevalence of various subtypes of FSD in relation to LUTS in women in Ismailia, Egypt.

Assessment of female sexual function among women with pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence via an Arabic validated short-form sexual questionnaire.

Objective: To assess female sexual function among women with pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence via an Arabic, validated, short-form sexual questionnaire (PISQ-12).

Methods: The present study was conducted among women attending Suez Canal University Hospital, Ismailia, Egypt, between September 2009 and August 2011. In the pilot study, 42 women completed the final version of the Arabic PISQ-12 at recruitment and then 2 weeks later, and the data were compared to evaluate reliability and internal consistency.

Obstructive suburethral mass after transurethral injection of dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer.

Dextranomer/hyaluronic acid copolymer (Zuidex(R)) is a new bulking agent. There is little data about the complications of using this substance as urethral bulking agent for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence. We are presenting a 59-year-old female patient who developed a suburethral mass and urinary retention after zuidex urethral injection.
