Prospective urodynamic model for prediction of urinary incontinence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Objectives: To assess the preoperative urodynamic predictors of urinary incontinence (UI) 1 year after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and to design a nomogram capable of predicting its occurrence.

Materials And Methods: Our prospective study included 58 previously continent patients who underwent RARP, in most cases, bilateral nerve-sparing and bladder neck preservation. A urodynamic examination including a urethral pressure profile was performed preoperatively.

Malacoplakia of the seminal vesicles. Case report and particularities.

Objective: Malacoplakia is a rare chronic granulomatous disorder that mostly affects the urogenital system. This article describes a case of uncommon location of this disease at the level of the seminal vesicles and the clinical, imaging and histological particularities of this medical entity.

Method: We report the case of a 69 year-old male consulting for constitutional syndrome that presented a pelvic tumor on the image studies, possibly arising in the seminal vesicles.

Comprehensive prediction model of urinary incontinence one year following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

Objectives: Urinary incontinence (UI) still remains one of the major functional complications after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). As the cause for UI is multifactorial, it is quite difficult to make a prediction preoperatively. Considering intraoperative and postoperative risk factors, besides the preoperative ones, we designed an incontinence prediction model, administered 1 month after the surgery, in order to identify incontinent patients at 1 year.
