Management of Post-RALP SUI and ED - What are and What Should we be Doing?
Curr Urol Rep
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- This review assesses the impact of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) on male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and erectile dysfunction (ED), highlighting the significant quality-of-life challenges these conditions present.
- It emphasizes the importance of patient history in determining treatment strategies, suggesting that penile rehabilitation may help improve erectile function post-surgery, though specific programs for optimal recovery are not yet agreed upon.
- The review concludes that effective treatments for post-RALP SUI include both adjustable slings and artificial urinary sphincters, while future research should focus on enhancing treatment methods and patient compliance for better outcomes.
Use of intracervical balloons and chorioamnionitis in term premature rupture of membranes.
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med
March 2016
Objective: To determine whether ripening and induction in patients with term premature rupture of membranes (PROM) via intracervical balloon placement (ICB) increases the risk of chorioamnionitis when compared to women with term PROM ripened and induced with other methods.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of term singleton gestations undergoing ripening and induction after PROM between July 2009 and June 2012 was conducted. Exposure of interest was ICB placement.
