Holmium:YAG Laser for the Treatment of Genital and urethral Warts: Multicentre Prospective Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy.

Genital condylomatosis is a highly contagious disease caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). The aim of this prospective multicentre study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Holmium:YAG (yttrium-aluminium-garnet) laser in the treatment of genital and intra-urethral warts; the secondary aim was to assess the patients' postoperative satisfaction and cosmetic results. From December 2016 to March 2019, patients with genital warts were prospectively enrolled in three hospitals.

Variability of detrusor overactivity on repeated filling cystometry in men with urge symptoms: comparison with spinal cord injury patients.

Objective: To investigate the variation in urodynamic variables during repeated filling cystometry and the impact that the variability had on the observed incidence of detrusor overactivity, to evaluate the correlation of detrusor overactivity with the symptoms of urge in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and to compare the variability of detrusor overactivity in men with LUTS to that in men with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Patients And Methods: Sixty men with LUTS and 35 with neurogenic bladders after SCI were assessed. Investigations included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Madsen-Iversen Symptom Score (MSS), uroflowmetry, filling cystometry and pressure-flow, in three successive studies.

[Ultrasonographic assessment of bladder volume].

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate intra and inter-observatory variability in the sonography measurement of bladder volume.

Materials And Methods: We have evaluated 138 patients (128 men and 10 women) affected by lower urinary tract symptoms with a mean age of 64 years (range 36-75) between December 2000 and June 2001. Sonography measurement of bladder volume was obtained at the end of a pressure/flow study with the double lumen catheter in situ.

Invasive and minimally invasive treatment modalities for lower urinary tract symptoms: what are the relevant differences in randomised controlled trials?

Objectives: This manuscript reviews the outcomes of invasive and minimally-invasive treatments of lower urinary tract symptoms due to prostatic enlargement.

Methods: The MEDLINE database was searched for Medical Subject headings and text words including prostatic hyperplasia, treatment, surgery, thermal treatments, thermotherapy, laser, TUNA and vaportrode. Data from both randomised and non-randomised controlled trials were considered.
