Purpose: Patients with artificial urinary eventually need surgical revision. Unfortunately, in women, this requires another invasive abdominal intervention. Robotic-assisted revision may provide a less invasive and more acceptable approach for sphincter revision in women.

Material And Methods: Each consecutive patient who underwent surgery for PUB placement before 2008 was included in this study. A PUB was proposed for patients with refractory to perineal reeducation stress urinary incontinence (SUI) caused by intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the 30-day mortality rate after renal trauma and determine factors that contribute to mortality, using data from 1,799 patients across 17 hospitals in France from 2005 to 2015.
- - The findings revealed a 30-day mortality rate of 3.27%, with only a small percentage of deaths directly attributable to renal trauma; significant risk factors included age over 40, hemodynamic instability, anemia, bilateral renal trauma, arterial contrast extravasation, and concurrent visceral and bone injuries.
- - The study highlights that mortality rates after renal trauma are primarily linked to multiple associated injuries rather than solely from the trauma itself, providing insights that could assist healthcare professionals in identifying patients at higher risk
Background: Some health care systems have set up referral trauma centers to centralize expertise to improve trauma management. There is scant and controversial evidence regarding the impact of provider's volume on the outcomes of trauma management.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of hospital volume on the outcomes of renal trauma management in a European health care system.
Purpose: Adipose distribution and sarcopenia could better assess kidney transplantation outcomes than body mass index (BMI) and have been poorly evaluated among obese and overweight recipients. We aimed to evaluate morphometric radiologic markers to predict post-operative dialysis within this population.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study including patients with a BMI > 25 kg/m undergoing kidney transplantation during 5 years.
