Postmicturition Dribble: A Physiological Phenomenon?

Background: Postmicturition dribble (PMD) is a common condition in the male population.

Objectives: Despite its common occurrence, there are only a few studies on this topic so far. The aim of this study was to investigate possible physiological aspects of PMD.

Bladder cancer in nonagenarians: a multicentre study of 123 patients.

Objective: To investigate the oncological outcome of nonagenarians with bladder cancer, as a substantial rise in bladder cancer in the old-old age group in the upcoming decades is expected, due to demographic changes and the peak incidence around the age of 85 years. The paucity of data of nonagenarians prompted us to investigate the outcomes of such patients.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective, multicentre study was designed to assess patient demographics, tumour patterns, treatment strategies and outcome in patients aged ≥90 years treated at participating centres.

Telephone - delivered quality of life after 365 male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) operations.

Objectives: To assess patient satisfaction and quality of life and factors that may be related to these outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Between 2000 and 2008 a retrospective chart review and te¬lephone survey of all surgeries for male SUI was performed. Average age at times of operation was 69.

[An incidental finding of retrocaval extraadrenal pheochromocytoma].

As part of diagnostic work-up of a 71-year-old patient with resistant hypertension, an extraadrenal mass was found. After further imaging and biochemical evaluation an extraadrenal pheochromocytoma was diagnosed and after alpha-receptor blockade was removed via posterior approach laparoscopically in the course. The pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-producing tumor with an incidence of 1-2 per 100 000.

Laparoscopic treatment of a spontaneously ruptured kidney (wunderlich syndrome).

Spontaneous, nontraumatic retroperitoneal hemorrhage or Wunderlich syndrome (WS) is a rare but potential life-threatening condition. In most patients a bleeding renal neoplasm is the cause of the retroperitoneal hematoma. The management of this condition includes a conservative approach in the hemodynamically stable patients and active treatment in the unstable patients.
