Association between voiding lower urinary tract symptoms and findings on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging with regard to pelvic organs and their supportive structures.

Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) causes voiding lower urinary tract symptoms (vLUTS). In the present study, we investigated the association between vLUTS and pelvic organ mobility (POM), including relevant supportive structures, on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI).

Methods: We included 118 patients who had POP of stage II or less before straining and stage III or more when straining during dMRI.

Association between overactive bladder and pelvic organ mobility as evaluated by dynamic magnetic resonance imaging.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent condition, which negatively impacts patients' quality of life. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), also prevalent in women, has been recognized as an important etiology of female OAB, although the pathophysiological mechanisms remain controversial. In this study, we reviewed findings of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in 118 patients with POP and investigated the association between dMRI findings, including positions and mobilities of pelvic organs as well as parameters of pelvic organ support and bladder outlet obstruction (urethral kinking), and OAB in order to elucidate the pathophysiology of OAB in patients with POP.

[Complications and Proposed Preventive Measure of Holumium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate during the Initial Phase at Our Hospital].

Clinical charts of 95 patients who underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) between May 2012 and January 2016 were reviewed for complications and their causative factors, as well as treatment outcomes. Of 23 intraoperative complications and 3 cases of prolonged post prostatectomy incontinence, 23 incidents (89%) occurred within the initial 20 cases performed by each surgeon. The details of the intraoperative complications were : bladder injury, 6 (6.

[Association between Proposed Cancer Foci from the Results of Systematic 12-Core Transrectal Needle Biopsies and Actual Cancer Foci from Radical Prostatectomy Specimens].

We investigated the diagnostic yield for systematic 12-core transrectal prostate needle biopsies. Subjects were 56 prostatic cancer patients who were diagnosed with transrectal ultrasound-guided 12 core prostate needle biopsies and who underwent open retropubic radical prostatectomy. Pathological findings were compared between needle biopsy specimens and total prostatectomy specimens in terms of the presence or absence of cancer foci.
