Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy as well as the complications associated with transurethral removal (TUR) of intravesical mesh after suburethral sling, transobturator tape-TOT (Monarc™) or "minisling" (MiniArc(®)), in the treatment of female urinary stress incontinence (USI).
Material And Methods: retrospective and consecutive study on 9 women with bladder perforation after midurethral slings (3 Monarc™ and 6 MiniArc®) placement for urinary stress incontinence. To remove the mesh, transurethral resection with an electrode loop (TUR-E) was used.
Objective: The treatment of female stress urinary incontinence has undergone a revolution in recent years due the emergence on the market of suburethral slings. The aim of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for treating stress urinary incontinence: Monarc™ (transobturator suburethral sling) and MiniArc(®) (single-incision suburethral mini-sling).
Material And Methods: Comparative, retrospective, observational study from January 2005 to December 2011 on 317 women diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence.
Objective: To report a case of fibromyxoid sarcoma of the kidney.
Clinic Report: A 28-year-old male patient attended the urological outpatient clinic for left varicocele associated with abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss.
Conclusions: Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the kidney is an uncommon tumor.
Objective: To find out the outcomes of endopyelotomy alter a long-term follow-up and determine the variables that may influence the results.
Material And Methods: We review the results obtained in 77 patients that underwent antegrade endopyelotomy with ureteropelvic junction obstruction, after 10-year follow-up. We used the Kaplan-Meier curve in order to determine the probable failure rate at a certain point.
