Prostate cancer in solid organ transplant recipients: Results from a multicenter series.

Introduction: Prostate cancer incidence in immunosuppressed transplant recipients increases as life expectancy improves in this population. However, the management of treatments and immunosuppressive (IS) regimens for solid organ transplant recipients diagnosed with prostate cancer remains poorly defined. Therefore, we conducted a multicentric study to investigate these parameters more thoroughly.

Kidney transplantation from expanded criteria donors: an increased risk of urinary complications - the UriNary Complications Of Renal Transplant (UNyCORT) study.

Functional results after tape removal for chronic pelvic pain following tension-free vaginal tape or transobturator tape.

Purpose: The incidence of pelvic pain after placement of a suburethral sling for incontinence ranges between 0% and 30%. The management of this chronic pain after suburethral sling placement is complex and to our knowledge no consensus has been reached. We evaluated the functional results after removal of the suburethral tape responsible for chronic pelvic pain.

[Identification of lithogenic risk factors by a simplified first-line laboratory assessment in urinary calculi patients].

Introduction: A simplified first-line laboratory assessment is recommended by the Stones Committee of the Association Française d'Urologie (CLAFU) right from the first episode of renal stones to detect any lithogenic risk factors. This study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of this assessment in urology, to specify the frequency of risk factors and to compare the results between first stone formers and recurrent stone formers.

Material And Methods: This prospective study included patients with a first stone or recurrent stones with no previous laboratory assessment.

[Therapeutic management of ureteric strictures in renal transplantation].

Objective: Ureteric strictures, with a reported incidence ranging from 2% to 7.5%, are the most frequent urological complication of renal transplantation. This article reports the results of open surgery and percutaneous or endoscopic techniques used to treat these strictures, based on a single-centre retrospective series of renal transplantations.

[Ureteric catheter nephrostomy: simple and effective drainage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy].

The authors describe an original technique of postoperative drainage of percutaneous nephrolithotomy consisting of leaving a 5 F ureteric catheter in place, which descends into the bladder and drains into a conventional 18 or 20 F nephrostomy drain. It ensures ureteric drainage while eliminating the need for a urethral catheter, protects the nephrostomy tunnel by maintaining the nephrostomy drain in place and maintains access to the caliceal group used for percutaneous nephrolithotomy.

[Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in subjects over the age of 70: a multicentre retrospective study of 210 cases].

Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in subjects over the age of 70 is considered to be associated with a higher risk than extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL). However this technique is sometimes necessary for very large or complex stones in patients with several comorbidities.

Study Objective: To evaluate the predictive factors of success and operative risks likely to influence the results of PCNL in a population of patients over the age of 70.

Prognostic value of bone scan in patients with metastatic prostate cancer treated initially with androgen deprivation therapy.

Purpose: We analyzed whether classifying bone prostate cancer metastases correlates with survival in patients treated primarily with androgen deprivation.

[Tamsulosin with or without Serenoa repens in benign prostatic hyperplasia: the OCOS trial].

Objective: In the treatment of the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a French guideline opposes the use of drugs in conjunction, in the absence of proven utility. The OCOS trial therefore compared one of the possible drug combinations (tamsulosin and Serenoa repens) with tamsulosin alone, to see if there was any difference in effectiveness and to evaluate the clinical tolerance of each in patients with symptoms of BPH.

Material And Methods: In this double-blind, randomised trial, patients had to have an IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) > or = 13 and a Qmax between 7 and 15 mL/s.

[Prognostic factors of prostate cancer treated with first-line hormone therapy].

Objective: Endocrine therapy of prostate cancer is designed to eliminate the action of androgens to prevent the growth of hormone-sensitive cancer cells. The duration and quality of the response to this treatment vary from one patient to another. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors of patients treated by first-line endocrine therapy for prostate cancer.

Comparison of quality of life and anorectal function after artificial sphincter implantation.

Purpose: Quality of life, a major outcome parameter in the treatment of anal incontinence, has not been assessed after artificial sphincter implantation. The purpose of this single-center, prospective, nonrandomized study was to assess quality-of-life differences in patients before and after artificial sphincter implantation and compare them with clinical incontinence scores and anal manometry.

Methods: Quality of life was assessed in 16 patients (14 females; mean age, 43 years) consecutively implanted with an Acticon Neosphincter.
