Efficacy and safety of Optilume® paclitaxel-coated urethral dilatation balloon in real-life: experience in a Spanish multicenter study.

Introduction: The Optilume® Paclitaxel-coated urethral dilatation balloon is an alternative to conventional endoscopic treatments that combines mechanical dilatation with local delivery of paclitaxel.

Objective: To describe the success rate and analyze the safety of the device in real clinical practice. To evaluate possible predictors of treatment failure.

Clinical application of the UroLift® prostatic urethral lift in Spain: consensus on the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with urinary flow obstruction and secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an increasingly common pathology in the adult male. BPH increases after the age of 40-45 years, and its management consumes an enormous amount of resources. The UroLift® System is an approved technology designed to treat lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to BPH and is used to perform the prostatic urethral lift (PUL) procedure.

Treatment for rectourethral fistulas after radical prostatectomy with biological material interposition through a perineal access.

Introduction: Rectal injury is a rare complication after extraperitoneal laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The development of rectourethral fistulas (URF) from rectal injuries is one of the most feared and of more complex resolution in urology.

Material And Methods: Between 2013 and 2020 we have operated on a total of 5 patients with URF after extraperitoneal endoscopic radical prostatectomy through a perineal access using the interposition of biological material.

[Nephroblastoma. Long-term experience in the multidisciplinary approach].

Objectives: Main objective: to perform a descriptive study of patients with nephroblastoma, diagnostic tests, medical and surgical treatment. Secondary objective: to evaluate the rate of relapse and 5-year survival and risk factors for relapse and death.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of patients with nephroblastoma treated according to the protocol of the SIOP-2001.

Maintenance of the response to dimethyl sulfoxide treatment using hyperbaric oxygen in interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome: a prospective, randomized, comparative study.

Introduction: Interstitial cystitis (IC)/painful bladder syndrome (PBS) is a difficult disease to manage and creates critical limitations in patients' daily lives. Our objective was to determine the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in the maintenance of response after the administration of intravesical dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

Materials And Methods: We conducted an open, prospective, randomized, comparative pilot study with women diagnosed with IC/PBS according to the European Society for the Study of Interstitial Cystitis criteria.
