Buccal Mucosal Graft as a Second Layer in the Vaginal Repair of Vesicovaginal Fistulas.

Objective: Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a pathological communication between the urinary bladder and the vagina. The most common cause of VVF is hysterectomy, while less common causes include obstetric trauma and pelvic surgery. Most cases require surgical intervention.

RNA-binding proteins RBM-HuR, RBM3 and PODXL expression in urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Prognostic and clinical implications.

Aim Of The Study: The clinical significance and predictive and prognostic value of HuR, RBM3, and PODXL expression in patients with urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) are not clear yet. The aim of this study was to assess HuR, RBM3 and PODXL expression in muscle invasive and non-muscle invasive UBC tissues, and to investigate the clinicopathological correlations and their predictive and prognostic impact in patients with such type of cancer.

Material And Methods: RBM-HuR, RBM3 and PODXL expression levels were evaluated in 70 patients with urothelial carcinoma by immunohistochemistry.

Role of shear wave elastography (SWE) in erectile dysfunction patients for evaluation of daily tadalafil treatment outcome.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and anticipate the outcome of daily use of tadalafil in patients with erectile dysfunction using elastography. 183 volunteers and 183 patients with erectile dysfunction were included. Pretreatment SWE readings for our patients were calculated with a linear probe.

Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Value can Predict Poor Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Responders in T1HG/NMIBC: Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Prediction of recurrence and progression and the choice of type of management are largely based on stage and grade; however, these prognostic features are limited in the prediction of clinical outcomes. The objective was to investigate the relation between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value and recurrence and progression of T1G3 of urothelial carcinoma after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin instillation.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 65 patients with single bladder mass T1G3 less than 3 cm without carcinoma in situ or lymphovascular invasion.

Outcomes of Flank-Free Modified Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Based on BMI.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of body mass index (BMI) on the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in the flank-free modified supine position.

Patients And Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the urology department during the period from May 2015 to October 2019 on 464 patients admitted for PCNL. The patients were divided into 4 matched groups according to their BMI: group A, normal weight with 18.

W-pouch With Modified Non-isolated Extra Limb for Continence in Cutaneous Diversion After Radical Cystectomy.

Objective: To report the functional results of continent cutaneous ileal urinary diversion using modified W-pouch with non-isolated extra limb for continence.

Patients And Methods: From January 2013 to January 2016, 21 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer with median (interquartile range) of 59 (56.5-62.

Single versus multiple instillation of povidone iodine and urographin in the treatment of chyluria: A prospective randomised study.

Objective: To compare the safety, efficacy and complications of single vs multiple instillations of povidone iodine (PI) and urographin as a sclerosing agent in the treatment of chyluria.

Patients And Methods: The study included 58 patients diagnosed with chyluria between March 2006 and January 2013. The inclusion criteria were either severe attacks of chyluria or patients with mild-to-moderate chyluria who had failed conservative treatment.
