Article Synopsis
- - The SATURN registry, a European multicenter study, aims to evaluate the effectiveness of surgical devices for treating male stress urinary incontinence, focusing on cure rates during a 10-year follow-up, with 1-year results currently reported.
- - The study involved 1,046 male patients, primarily post-radical prostatectomy, using various implants like AMS800 and Advance, and showed varying self-reported continence rates—ranging from 11% to 76% depending on the device, with 32% of patients still experiencing incontinence after one year.
- - Patient-reported outcomes indicated improvements in quality of life, but a notable percentage of patients required revisions of their devices, suggesting complications remained a concern
Article Synopsis
- - Surgery for male incontinence with artificial urinary sphincters and slings (SATURN) is an observational study aimed at gathering data on male stress urinary incontinence surgeries across various European centers.
- - The registry will assess both short- and long-term outcomes of these surgeries, focusing on their effectiveness and how they affect patients' quality of life.
- - By collecting this prospective data, the study aims to improve understanding and treatment strategies for male urinary incontinence.

BackgroundAfter a large Q fever outbreak in the Netherlands in the period from 2007 to 2010, the risk of Q fever transmission through tissue and cell transplantation from undiagnosed chronic Q fever cases became a potential issue. We aimed to evaluate the risk of Q fever transmission through tissue and cell transplantation. We performed a retrospective observational cohort study among 15,133 Dutch donors of tissues and stem cells from 2010 to 2015 to assess seroprevalence of antibodies, to identify factors associated with presence of antibodies, and to assess the proportion of undiagnosed chronic Q fever cases.

The aim of this study was to compare displacement of the centre of rotation (COR) using a standard reaming technique with a technique in which the acetabulum was reamed immediately peripherally and referenced off the rim.
Patients And Methods: In the first cohort the acetabulum was reamed to the floor followed by sequentially larger reamers.
