A transobturator adjustable system for male incontinence: 30-month follow-up of a multicenter study.

Purpose: To report long-term results of the Argus T adjustable system for treatment of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI).

Materials And Methods: From October 2007 to August 2008, 37 patients with PPI were included in a prospective, single-arm, multicenter trial of treatment with the Argus T adjustable system (Promedon, Argentina). Preoperative evaluation included urine culture, urethrocystoscopy, urodynamic testing, 24-h pad weight test (PWT) and quality of life questionnaires.

Lower urinary tract symptoms and erectile dysfunction from urological consultation in Argentina.

Unlabelled: Erectile dysfunction (ED) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are often associated, and they both reduce the quality of life of those who suffer from these conditions.

Objectives: Primarily, to determine the relationship of LUTS/BPH as an independent risk factor for suffering ED and, secondarily, the relationship of LUTS/BPH and ED according to the severity of the symptoms.

Methods: A descriptive, analytic, multicentre study was carried out in 580 patients consulting for prostatic control or LUTS.

[Long-term results of a phase III multicentre trial of the adjustable male sling for treating urinary incontinence after prostatectomy: minimum 3 years].

Objective: To communicate long-term results of the multicentre phase III trial post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (PPI) treated with an adjustable male sling.

Patients And Methods: 48 PPI patients were included in this trial from April 2003 to September 2004. 39 post radical prostatectomy and 9 post adenomectomy.

Painless inter epididymal testicular torsion of the spermatic cord.

Inter epididymal testicular torsion of the spermatic cord is extremely rare and usually diagnosed at surgery. We present an unusual case of spermatic cord torsion in a 14-year-old male patient. It is important to highlight that the torsion occurred only on the distal half of the epididymis leaving the head untwisted and edematous.

An adjustable male sling for treating urinary incontinence after prostatectomy: a phase III multicentre trial.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new adjustable bulbourethral sling (Argus, Promedon SA, Cordoba, Argentina) in the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after prostate surgery.

Patients And Methods: In all, 48 patients with SUI because of prostatic surgery for prostate cancer (39) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (nine) had a new sling implanted in a multicentre trial at six institutions between April 2003 and September 2004. All patients were fully evaluated, including a questionnaire (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form, ICIQ-SF, range 0-21), endoscopy, and urodynamic evaluation.

Total and immediate daytime and nighttime continence with a right colonic neobladder--What makes it possible? An 11-year followup.

Purpose: We report the long-term functional results of the colonic neobladder and provide the physiological and urodynamic foundations for them.

Materials And Methods: From March 1993 to February 2004, 38 patients with cystectomy received a neobladder constructed from detubularized, remodeled right colon and intact cecum following our design at the urology service at our institution. Most patients underwent urodynamics and videourodynamics as postoperative followup.
