[French language validation of the SSIPI questionnaire assessing the satisfaction of patients with penile implant].

Introduction: The objective of this study was to propose a French version of the satisfaction survey for inflatable penile implant (SSIPI) questionnaire.

Material: Questionnaire validation was performed in three steps: translation into French by two urologists, its validation by the committee of andrologist and sexual medicine (CAMS) and an independent translation in English by another urologist to exclude any distortion with the original version. Furthermore, the questionnaire was tested in few patients having penile implant.

Management of proximal penile prosthetic cylindrical complications: a novel direct crural approach.

Introduction: Patients with proximal penile prosthetic cylindrical complications (PPPCC) can be treated with a direct crural technique without using the original traditional approach. In this article we present our novel direct crural approach for management of patients with PPPCC.

Materials And Methods: Between 2014 and 2019, data were retrospectively collected from 13 patients who underwent surgical revision using our novel direct crural approach for PPPCC.

Hard flaccid syndrome: state of current knowledge.

Introduction: Hard-flaccid syndrome is gaining increased interest among male sexual dysfunctions in the last years. It is poorly understood and defined. Most of the information comes from online forums.

Transcorporal artificial urinary sphincter implantation as a salvage surgical procedure for challenging cases of male stress urinary incontinence: surgical technique and functional outcomes in a contemporary series.

Objectives: To describe the surgical technique of transcorporal artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation. To assess the efficacy of the AUS on continence and erectile function.

Patients And Methods: A prospective evaluation was conducted between December 2007 and October 2012 at a tertiary referral centre of all male patients treated by transcorporal AUS (AMS800™, AmericanMedicalSystems, Minnetonka, MN, USA) implantation for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) recurrence, after failure of previous anti-incontinence surgery.

The AdVance transobturator male sling for postprostatectomy incontinence: clinical results of a prospective evaluation after a minimum follow-up of 6 months.

Background: Transobturator male slings have been proposed to manage stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after prostatic surgery, but data are still lacking.

Objective: To determine the safety and prospectively evaluate the clinical outcome after management of SUI after prostatic surgery by placement of a transobturator male sling.

Design, Setting, And Participants: We conducted a prospective evaluation on 102 patients treated in a single center between 2007 and 2009 for mild to moderate SUI following prostatic surgery.

[Prospective evaluation of the effects of a practical introduction to urology session on the recruitment of urology intern in Paris: final results].

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of a practical introduction to urology session on the recruitment of Parisian interns since introduction of the National Classifying Examination.

Materials And Methods: Since 2004, all surgery interns appointed in Paris have participated in a practical introduction to urology session before starting work in hospital. They were asked to complete a questionnaire.

[Evaluation of visual stimulation combined with intracavernous injections for the treatment of severe erectile dysfunction].

Objective: To assess the value of visual sexual stimulation combined with intracavernous injections (ICI) in patients treated for severe erectile dysfunction.

Materials And Methods: All patients with severe erectile dysfunction were prospectively included in this study between 2005 and 2006. The outpatient protocol consisted of comparing the efficacy of alprostadil ICI alone on D0 and ICI combined with erotic stimulation on D8.

[How to anticipate specialization at the Examen National Classant (National Entrance Examination) to encourage interns to choose urology].

Objectives: To analyse the value of an introduction to urology session to recruit interns following the Examen National Classant (ENC) (National Entrance Examination).

Materials And Methods: Over a 2-year period, interns appointed to surgery in Paris participated in a one-day introduction to urology session before starting work as surgical interns. A questionnaire at the beginning of internship recorded: age, gender, teaching hospital, student attachment in urology and desired specialization as a function of the surgical training programmes proposed by the ENC.

Endoscopic lithotripsy and the FREDDY laser: initial experience.

Background And Purpose: The frequency-doubled double-pulse neodymium:YAG (FREDDY) laser has been developed for endoscopic lithotripsy and combines the characteristics of solid and dye lasers with a thin flexible optical fiber enabling it to be used with flexible ureterorenoscopy. Furthermore, it is less expensive and easier to maintain than other lasers. Our goal was to evaluate its efficacy and role in the ureteroscopic treatment of urinary stones.

[Endoscopic lithotripsy and FREDDY laser technology. Initial experience].

Introduction And Purpose: FREDDY laser technology was developed for endocorporeal lithotripsy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate, based on our initial experience, the efficacy and place of this technology in the treatment of urinary calculi by ureterorenoscopy. (World of Medicine) to treat 26 patients (29 stones) by ureterorenoscopy.

[Comparative study of two latest generation flexible ureterorenoscopes].

Introduction And Objectives: Miniaturization and development of flexible instruments have led to the development of flexible ureterorenoscopy. The objective of this study was to compare the capacities of active deflection of two latest generation flexible ureterorenoscopes and to evaluate alteration of deflection and flow of irrigating fluid in the presence of instruments in the operating channel.
