A real-world evidence study of interhospital variability in the surgical treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: the REVALURO study.

Purpose: Lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) is a growing condition in males associated with a high clinical, economic and humanistic burden. Several surgical techniques are available for the treatment of LUTS/BPH; thus, the aim of this study was to describe and explore the variability in the use of surgical procedures among Spanish hospitals.

Methods: The REVALURO was a retrospective, observational study conducted by collecting data from the clinical records of patients with LUTS/BPH aged ≥ 35 years, from 5 national reference hospitals, who were surgically treated between 2018 and 2022.

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.

Double J catheter migrated to the bladder and encrusted. Case report and bibliographic review.

Objective: Urinary tract obstruction is one of the most prevalent diseases in urology. The handling of it includes conservative (analgesia and fluid therapy) and invasive (urinary diversion) measures. Ureteral stent is the method currently employed for urinary tract diversion.

Hypebaric oxygen treatment in urology.

Objectives: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) has been successfully used in several disorders derived from tissue hypoxia, due to the extra oxygen supply to the tissues it enables. In this manuscript we performed a systematic review including all the existing data published until 2010 about HBO in urologic disorders.

Methods: We performed a Medline search using the terms "hyperbaric oxygen", "radical cystitis", "interstitial cystitis", "hemorrhagic cystitis", "urological/pelvic fistula"and "Fournier's gangrene".

Giant bladder lithiasis: case report and bibliographic review.

Objective: Urinary lithiasis is a very frequent urological disease but bladder lithiasis is very uncommon.Patients usually refer voiding symptoms and hematuria. The diagnosis is made after imaging tests.

[Brucella spp orchiepididymitis].

Objective: To report a brucellar orchiepididymitis case and to review the diagnosis and treatment of this pathology.

Method: We present the case of a 62 year old man presenting with fever, testicular pain and constitutional syndrome. The diagnosis was made after ultrasound, blood cultures and anamnesis.
