Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant complication after radical prostatectomy (RP). Although sphincter incompetence is considered the main cause; bladder dysfunction can contribute substantially. Our objective was to evaluate the results of the urodynamic study (UDS) in men with UI after radical prostatectomy and analyze the correlation between symptoms and urodynamic parameters.

Methods: A prospective observational study was carried out from 2012 to 2015 to evaluate infections in patients with CUUT.
Results: A total of 209 infections were included (99 with double-J, 81 with nephrostomy, and 29 with internal/external nephroureteral stents).
Purpose: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in urological patients have special features due to specific risk factors. Our objective was to evaluate the characteristics and risk factors for HAIs in patients hospitalized in a Urology ward.
Materials And Methods: We evaluated prospectively, from 2012 to 2015, the incidence, types and risk factor for HAIs, microbiological and resistance patterns.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on identifying the incidence and risk factors linked to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae in a urology ward, finding a 6.8% rate of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
- The most common pathogens identified were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp., with 26.4% of cases involving ESBL-producing strains, and various risk factors like prior UTIs and immunosuppression significantly increased the incidence.
- The research highlighted high resistance rates of these bacteria, particularly to fluoroquinolones (85.3%) and carbapenems (11.8%), indicating a concerning trend in antibiotic resistance among urology patients.

Objective: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are the most common nosocomial acquired infections, with high resistance rates. CAUTIs are a potentially severe complication in hospitalized patients and imply higher costs. Our aim was to analyze the characteristics of CAUTIs in our Urology department.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out using the SERVQHOS questionnaire, delivered at the time of discharge. A data sheet for each patient was collected, which included if they undergone surgery, type of surgery and whether or not presented postoperative complications, rated by the Clavien scale.
