Efficacy, tolerance and predictors of response to the treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy for patients with hemorrhagic radiation cystitis.

Objectives: The aim was to study the efficacy and tolerance in patients with haemorrhagic radiation-induced cystitis (HRC) treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) and analyze which factors were related to the response to the treatment.

Material And Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients treated with HOT for HRC symptoms in a provincial referral centre from 2010 to 2020. We evaluated clinical response to treatment, number of hospitalizations due to HRC and subjective response using the PGI-I questionnaire.

Multicenter study on multidisciplinary committees in advanced prostate cancer.

Introduction And Objective: Although Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) are recommended in the management of Advanced Prostate Cancer (APC), their functioning in real practice has been poorly evaluated. We carried out a multicenter study with the objective of evaluating the functioning of uro-oncology MDTs in 6 hospitals.

Materials And Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed.

High-flow priapism in pediatric population: Case series and review of the literature.

Introduction: Priapism is a prolonged erection that lasts longer than four hours. It is a rare pathology in the pediatric population, with an estimation of 0.3-1.

High-flow Priapism in Pediatric Population: Case Series and Review of the Literature.

[Androgen deprivation therapy in advanced prostate cancer. Multicenter study.].

Objectives: Advanced prostate cancer (PC) is a frequent entity. The objectives of this paper are the presentation of a sample of patients with PC undergoing treatment with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in usual clinical practice and the determination of parameters associated with the development of resistance to castration (CRPC).

Material And Methods: Multicenter, observational, retrospective study that analyzes patients treated with ADT from January 2016 to January 2017.

Lateral-based Anterior Vaginal Wall Flap in the Treatment of Female Urethral Stricture: Efficacy and Safety.

Background: Female urethral stricture is a rare condition. Different types of urethroplasty have been described. However, high quality studies are sparse.

Is the adjustable TVA mesh effective for the long-term treatment of female stress incontinence?

Objectives: To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the adjustable TVA mesh in treating stress urinary incontinence.

Material And Methods: Pseudoexperimental study, before and after, conducted in a university urology department. Eighty-two patients were invited to participate from January 2002 to March 2005.

Transvaginal adjustable tape: an adjustable mesh for surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.

After transvaginal adjustable tape, approximately 15% of patients still suffer incontinence, and voiding dysfunction is present in a relatively important number of patients. Transvaginal adjustable tape (TVA) permits postoperative readjustment of tension, suggesting that better results could be obtained. Sixty-four incontinent women received TVA.

[Hypospadias repair with Snodgrass' technique].

Retrospective study of 124 patients (average age: 3.8 years) with midpenile hypospadias: 48.3% (60 children), distal penile: 45.

[TVA and TOA. New adjustable mesh for the treatment of female stress incontinence. Preliminaries results].

Objectives: Evaluation of a new mesh for incontinence (TVA/TOA) which enables the degree of tension applied during surgery to be readjusted at the post-operative stage.

Patients And Method: 62 patients treated with the TVA mesh and monitored over a 14-month period (SD 7.8, range 6-38).

[Brucellar orchiepididymitis].

Brucellosis is a cause of human disease, especially in regions whose brucellosis in animals is enzootic. Brucella orchitis is a rare complication of systemic brucellosis (2-14%). Necrotizing orchitis is posible and it must be distinguished from necrotizing involvement arising from other pathogens (TB or Salmonella).

[Vesicouterine fistula. Our experience of 25 years].

Objective: To determine the current state of vesicouterine fistulae in our hospital, the factors associated with their development and the findings obtained from the treatments used.

Material And Methods: We carry out a retrospective study on a group of patients suffering from vesicouterine fistulae who were treated in our service for the last 25 years with a 2 year minimum follow-up.

Results: 6 cases of vesicouterine fistulae were evaluated.

[Retrorbital metastasis an initial manifestation of prostatic cancer].

Orbital metastasis is an unusual localization within tumoral dissemination of prostatic cancer. Similarly, it is rare that orbital metastasis might be responsible for the clinic manifestations that determine the initial diagnosis of neoplasia. We illustrate the case of a patient suffering from prostatic adernocarcinoma that displayed alterations of facial sensitivity and right eye exophthalmos.

[Renal transplantation in patients with enterocystoplasty].

Objectives: To asses the impact of augmentation enterocystoplasty on the success of cadaveric renal transplantation in patients with dysfunctional bladders.

Patients And Methods: Between 1980 and 2001, 3 men and a woman with severe dysfunctional lower urinary tract underwent a total of 4 cadaveric renal transplantations. The etiologies of the bladder dysfunction were bladder contraction secondary to urinary tuberculosis in all cases.

[Necrosis of the skin of the penis as a complication of the use of a urine collector].

We illustrate a case of penile skin necrosis in a patient suffering from urinary incontinence caused by a secondary neurogenic bladder that, in turn, results from a spinal cord injury. The skin necrosis developed out of continuous pressure from the condom catheter. We report the case bearing into consideration that these complications are extremely rare and that references in the literature to the topic are likewise scarce.
