Conservative Resolution of a Vesicovaginal Fistula Including Laser Therapy in a Patient Who Underwent Recurrent Surgery After Prior Radiotherapy for Endometrial Cancer.

Background: Isolated vaginal vault recurrence of endometrial cancer can be treated with rescue radiotherapy. However, in previously irradiated patients, surgical resection can be considered the treatment of choice. Vesicovaginal fistulas (VVFs) sometimes complicate the surgical intervention because of the presence of massive ischemia and fibrosis of pelvic tissue from previous irradiation.

Three-year follow-up in patients with urinary stress incontinence treated with Altis® single-incision sling.

Background: The purpose of the study is to report three years follow-up of single incision slings for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The main outcomes are to evaluate the efficacy of the device and to assess safety, adverse events, quality of life, demographic features of treated women and prognostic factors for SUI.

Methods: We performed a retrospective, double-center, single-arm study.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of a single-use digital flexible cystoscope for double J removal.

Introduction And Objective: The novel single-use digital flexible cystoscope Isiris™ has been developed to perform in-office JJ stent removal, without the need of special equipment nor limitations linked to the disinfection of a reusable device. The aim of our study was to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of Isiris™ in our institution.

Patients And Methods: A total of 127 consecutive patients undergoing in-office stent removal with Isiris™ were prospectively included in study.

Therapeutic ureteral occlusion with Ifabond cyanoacrylate glue: an interesting solution.

Objective: The aim of this study was to present a novel approach for complete and permanent ureteral occlusion using a percutaneous injection of Ifabond cyanoacrylate glue.

Methods: We describe in detail all the steps of our surgery, performed on a 79-year-old patient with urinary leakage from ureteral stump following radical cystectomy. N-hexyl-cyanoacrylate glue (Ifabond) was used to occlude the distal ureter and solve the leakage.
