Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and weight loss measurements were used to assess the effectiveness of CdO-NPs as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 0.5 M HSO. It was amply shown that as the concentration of CdO-NPs increased, the cathodic currents decreased and the active corroding sites were blocked completely.

The abnormal division may also cause a short and patulous urethra. Sphincteric defects are likely to be associated and when combined with the short urethral length is a cause for severe urinary incontinence.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective review of consecutive women with gynecological supratrigonal Vesico Vaginal Fistulae (VVF) repaired at the fistula unit of Urogynecology department between 1996 and 2011 was done.Out of 48 cases of supratrigonal VVF of gynecological origin identified; 34 (70.
Introduction And Hypothesis: A retrospective study was done from January 2008 to January 2011 to analyze the outcome of ureterovaginal fistula management in relation to intervention mode.
Patients And Methods: Eighteen patients who developed ureterovaginal fistulae following gynecological and obstetric procedures were studied. Ureteroscopic stenting was attempted in 17 cases, and one patient electively underwent ureteral reimplantation.
Vaginal repair of supratrigonal vesicovaginal fistulae--a 10-year review.
Int Urogynecol J
December 2012
Article Synopsis
- - A 10-year study evaluated the outcomes of vaginal repair for supratrigonal vesicovaginal fistulae (VVF), including 132 urinary fistula cases from 2001-2011, with 53 being supratrigonal VVF.
- - Out of the 49 benign supratrigonal VVF cases, 77.5% were of gynecological origin, and the surgical success rates were 86.7% for vaginal repairs and 100% for abdominal repairs, with a follow-up period averaging 51.7 months.
- - The study concluded that vaginal repair is often an effective option for supratrigonal VVF, yielding a success rate similar to that of
