Simultaneous transurethral resection of the prostate and cystolithotripsy: A urological dilemma examined.

Introduction: Controversy exists over whether transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in men with bladder stones prevents recurrence of stone formation and facilitates stone discharge. We sought to evaluate whether TURP in patients who underwent cystolithotripsy led to a lower recurrence of bladder stones for which a re-cystolithotripsy was necessary.

Methods: Patients (n=127) who underwent transurethral cystolithotripsy with (n=38) or without simultaneous TURP (n=89) between January 2009 and December 2013 were retrospectively included in five centers in the Netherlands.

Discrepancy between Expectations and Experiences after Prostate Cancer Treatment: A Dutch Multicenter Study.

Objectives: To evaluate possible discrepancies between patients' expectations concerning sexual side effects related to prostate cancer treatment, based on the obtained information prior to treatment. Moreover, to determine if demographic or clinical factors may have an effect on the accuracy of patients' expectations concerning sexual side effects after treatment.

Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional survey was performed among men treated with prostatectomy, brachytherapy, external-beam radiotherapy and/or hormonal therapy.

Investigating the effect of a symposium on sexual health care in prostate cancer among Dutch healthcare professionals.

Aims And Objectives: To investigate whether a symposium aimed at healthcare professionals in the uro-oncological field changes knowledge, competence and general practice regarding sexual dysfunction after prostate cancer treatment.

Background: Sexual dysfunction is not frequently discussed by healthcare professionals; lack of knowledge and training are two of the most often reported barriers. Provision of additional training could improve knowledge, competence and general practice of healthcare professionals.

Treatment-Related Sexual Side Effects From the Perspective of Partners of Men With Prostate Cancer.

A cross-sectional survey was performed among partners and men who received treatment for prostate cancer to investigate whether demographic and clinical characteristics are associated with the extent of how difficult partners found it dealing with sexual side effects and the degree of having experienced sexual problems after treatment. Moreover, an aim was to determine whether sexual side effects have an impact on the relationship. A total of 171 partners were included.

A 64-year-old man was referred to our urology outpatient clinic with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). During rectal examination a smooth nodule was identified. MRI-images showed a prostatic cyst, originating from the utriculus.

Suitable sexual health care according to men with prostate cancer and their partners.

Purpose: To determine which health care provider and what timing is considered most suitable to discuss sexual and relational changes after prostate cancer treatment according to the point of view of men and their partners.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among men diagnosed with prostate cancer or treated after active surveillance, who received laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, brachytherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and/or hormonal therapy. If applicable, partners were included as well.

Omissions in Urology Residency Training Regarding Sexual Dysfunction Subsequent to Prostate Cancer Treatment: Identifying a Need.

Objective: To assess urology residents' current knowledge, practice, previous training, barriers, and training needs regarding prostate cancer treatment-related sexual dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire study inventoried the practice patterns and training need of urology residents attending a national training course in June 2015.

Results: Of 101 urology residents throughout the Netherlands, 87 attended the training (response rate 100%).
