Purpose: Adequate position of the bone block during arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is critical for an optimal functional outcome. However, this procedure is complex with a long learning curve. Our aim was to compare the bone block position between a dedicated glenoid posterior instrumentation and suture button fixation versus an anterior screw fixation, on a postoperative computed tomography (CT) scan.

Objective: To describe a standardized technique of robotic bladder neck AUS implantation in female patients, and to report the perioperative and functional outcomes obtained by multiple surgeons with this technique.
Design, Settings, And Participants: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all female patients who underwent robotic AUS implantation for urinary incontinence due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency between March 2012 and March 2017 in five institutions.
Aim: To analyse current practice patterns and to evaluate (long-term) effectiveness and adverse events of sacral neuromodulation with InterStim™ Therapy based on data collected in a national register and to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the register.
Patients And Methods: This is a French multicenter prospective observational trial including patients with a permanent implant (2003-2009). Voiding diary variables and patient satisfaction were analysed based on last follow-up visit since implantation.
Twenty-three patients having undergone enterocystoplasty with a detubulated graft has an urodynamic study on an empty stomach and after a standardized meal. All patients (average age 62.9 years) had been operated more than 6 months earlier, and 30% still presented with urine leakages at night.

All patients were re-examined on February 1992 after a mean follow-up of 26 months (range 12 to 24 mths). The global success rate (recovery and improvement) was assessed as 72% at 3 months and 56% at follow-up.
