Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation's Impact on Sexual Function in Female Patients with Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity, Sexual Dysfunction, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) frequently results in both urinary and sexual dysfunction, which significantly impairs quality of life. Conventional treatments for bladder dysfunction often prove insufficient, leading to the exploration of alternative therapies such as percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS). This study aimed to assess the impact of PTNS on sexual function and bladder symptoms in female MS patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) and female sexual dysfunction (FSD).

Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation for the Treatment of Detrusor Overactivity in Multiple Sclerosis Patients: A Narrative Review.

Bladder dysfunction, particularly neurogenic detrusor overactivity (DO), poses a substantial challenge in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients, detrimentally impacting their quality of life (QoL). Conventional therapies often fall short, necessitating alternative approaches like posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for effective management. This narrative review critically examines the application of PTNS in treating DO among MS patients, aiming to provide a comprehensive synthesis of its efficacy, underlying mechanisms, and clinical outcomes.

The Urological Association of Asia clinical guideline for urinary stone disease.

The Urological Association of Asia, consisting of 25 member associations and one affiliated member since its foundation in 1990, has planned to develop Asian guidelines for all urological fields. The field of stone diseases is the third of its guideline projects. Because of the different climates, and social, economic and ethnic environments, the clinical practice for urinary stone diseases widely varies among the Asian countries.

[Lessons to be drawn from one year of surveillance of Escherichia coli in a urology department].

Unlabelled: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the micro-organism most frequently identified in urinary tract infections in adults. The authors analysed the nalidixic acid resistance rate of E.

[Vesicourethral anastomotic stricture after radical prostatectomy secondary to migration of a metal clip].

The frequency of vesicourethral anastomotic stricture after prostatectomy is estimated to be 14%, an average of 3 months after the operation. The authors report the cases of a 61-year-old man undergoing radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer. The postoperative course was marked by recurrent urinary retention and several urethrotomies failed to restore spontaneous voiding.
