In this prospective study, the incidence of depression in women who suffer from urinary incontinence (UI) is examined. Although the literature has confounding information directly linking depression to UI, this study revealed depression was significantly higher in women with UI as opposed to their counterparts without UI.

We report our experience with the safety and efficacy of salvage cryosurgery using the argon based CRYOCare system (Endocare, Inc, Irvine, California).
Materials And Methods: Between October 1997 and September 2000, 38 men with a mean age of 71.
Objectives: Cryotherapy of the prostate represents a potential treatment for localized recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy. We report our experience and evaluate the predictive factors for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) recurrence.
Methods: Between October 1994 and April 1999, 43 patients underwent salvage cryoablation.
Purpose: Transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate has been increasingly used as a surgical adjunct in the management of men with lower urinary tract symptoms. In this prospective study we compare the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate and electrovaporization.
Materials And Methods: We compared 32 consecutive men (mean age 68.
Objectives: Patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and no access to the rectum present a diagnostic challenge to the urologist. This study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of transperineal prostate biopsy using transurethral ultrasound guidance for the detection of prostate cancer.
Methods: Five men status post either total colectomy or abdominoperineal resection (age range: 58 to 73 years, mean age 65.
