Eighteen years of experience in laparoscopic implantation of artificial urinary sphincter in women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

Introduction And Objectives: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is a treatment option for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after failure of previous surgery or as a primary procedure in severe intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). The aim of the study was to assess the long-term efficacy and risk factors for surgical revision and definitive explantation of AUS laparoscopic implantation in female patients.

Methods: A retrospective review of all women submitted to AUS implantation between April 2005 and March 2023 was conducted.

Five-year Results from the Prospective, Multicenter, Observational SOUNDS Study of Patients with Overactive Bladder Treated with the InterStim System for Sacral Neuromodulation.

Background: Although sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for overactive bladder (OAB) is an established therapy, there is a lack of high-quality, long-term data on real-life practice.

Objective: To report on real-life therapeutic effectiveness, quality of life (QoL), disease severity, and safety as well as patient-reported symptom bother after approximately 5 yr of follow-up.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A total of 291 OAB patients were enrolled at 25 French sites according to local standard of care.

Sacral Neuromodulation with the InterStim System for Overactive Bladder: 3-Year Results from the French Prospective, Multicenter, Observational SOUNDS Study.

Background: SOUNDS strengthens the evidence basis of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for overactive bladder (OAB) through real-world data.

Objective: To analyze diary-based effectiveness, quality of life (QoL), disease severity, symptom bother, and safety data for SNM with the InterStim system up to 3 yr after implantation.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Twenty-five representative French sites enrolled 291 patients with OAB followed according to the local standard of care.

Sacral Neuromodulation with the InterStim™ System for Intractable Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunctions (SOUNDS): Results of Clinical Effectiveness, Quality of Life, Patient-Reported Outcomes and Safety in a French Multicenter Observational Study.

Background: Real-world data that support the use of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for lower urinary tract dysfunctions are of continued interest.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness, quality of life (QoL), patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and safety of SNM with the InterStim™ system in real life during 1-yr postimplant.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study at 25 representative public and private French sites.

Laparoscopic appendicovesicostomy and ileovesicostomy: A step-by-step technique description in neurogenic patients.

Aims: This study aims to describe our surgical technique and report our preliminary experience with laparoscopic ileal or appendicovesicostomy in adult patients with neurogenic bladder caused by spinal cord injury.

Subjects And Methods: From January 2014 to March 2017, seven patients were submitted to an appendicovesicostomy under Mitrofanoff procedure and two patients to an ileovesicostomy under Yang-Monti procedure by laparoscopy. Clinical indications were patients with a history of neurogenic bladder secondary to spinal cord pathology, with proper dexterity and willing to have a more accessible continent derivation.

[Primary adenocarcinoma of the bladder and renal transplantation].

Primary bladder adenocarcinoma is a rare tumour which represents between 0.5% and 2% of malignant bladder tumours. The incidence of malignant tumours is increased in renal transplant recipients.

[Paraneoplastic urticarial vasculitis and renal carcinoma].

Paraneoplastic syndromes have been described in various types of tumours, but are rarely associated with renal cancer. Paraneoplastic cutaneous manifestations, consisting of urticarial vasculitis are exceptional and can sometimes constitute the presenting sign of a completely asymptomatic renal cancer. This vasculitis resolves after curative treatment of the tumour, confirming its paraneoplastic nature.

[Pelvic pain caused by bladder leiomyoma: diagnostic and radiologic difficulties].

Uterine leiomyoma is a frequent benign lesion. It is usually asymptomatic and can be responsible for acquired dysmenorrhoea in some women, leading to gynaecological assessment. However, the development of this type of muscle lesions arising from the bladder wall and accompanied exclusively by dysmenorrhoea is rare.

[Ureteral multiplicity: report of 3 cases].

The ureteric multiplicity is a rare malformation with about one hundred cases described in the literature. The rarity of this anomaly and the complexity of possible associated anomalies often make the preoperative diagnosis difficult. The authors report 1 case of partial quadruplicate ureter associated with bladder duplication and 2 cases of triplicate ureter, corresponding to types I, II and III of Smith's classification.
