Objective: To compare the complications of direct and antirefluxing techniques of ureterointestinal anastomosis in continent urinary diversion.
Methods: Sixty-three patients underwent continent urinary diversion. Twenty-four patients were treated by the direct ureteroenteric anastomosis and the others treated by the antirefluxing technique. The follow up studies included following-up the information of ureteric stricture, ureteric reflux, renal function and acute urinary infection. It was assessed for 3 months to 6 years with a mean follow up of 26 months after operation.
Results: Of 78 ureters reimplanted using antirefluxing technique. A total of 12 ureters had anastomotic stricture formation postoperatively. Only one of 48 ureters reimplanted using direct anastomoses had anastomotic stricture. The difference between the direct and antirefluxing technique groups was remarkable (chi2 = 4.375, P < 0.05). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the direct and antirefluxing technique groups in regard to ureteric reflux, renal function and acute urinary infection.
Conclusions: Antirefluxing anastomoses resulted in obviously higher rate of ureterointestinal anastomotic stricture in comparison with the direct anastomosis. The direct ureteroenteric anastomosis may be the suitable choice for patients undergoing continent urinary diversion.

PRESIUS, Predictive value of sonographic functional urethral length and urethral closure angle for the diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction: Numerous anatomical theories have been developed to explain women stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and improve its management. The transperineal ultrasound is an efficient and non-invasive exam that perfectly studies the bladder neck movement and the urethral anatomy. The measurement of the static portion of the distal urethral length, considered as the functional urethral length (FUL), and of the posterior urethral closure angle (PUCA) have not been studied before and could be of interest.

Background: There is limited data within the urologic literature regarding bowel complications and leak rates following surgery requiring ileocolic anastomoses such as right colon pouch (RCP) and continent cutaneous ileocecocystoplasty (CCIC). We aimed to establish ileocolic anastomotic leak rates in urologic reconstructive surgery and determine bowel-related complications following RCP and CCIC surgeries.
Methods: We reviewed adult patients who underwent RCP or CCIC (2010-2022), investigating patient characteristics, perioperative variables, and outcomes.
A systematic review and meta-analysis show a decreasing prevalence of post-stroke infections.

Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Ghana Medical School, Accra, Ghana.
Background: Infection is a common complication in the acute phase after stroke; a systematic review in 2011 reported a post-stroke infection prevalence of 30%. Despite the plethora of primary data on post-stroke infections in recent times, a systematic review that synthesizes the data to provide comprehensive information to guide preventive, control, and management efforts is yet to be undertaken. This systematic review, therefore, aimed at bridging this gap by describing the epidemiology of post-stroke infections including the global prevalence and the associated mortality rates.

Purpose: Patients with refractory neurogenic bladder dysfunction may require urinary reconstruction due to severe incontinence, difficulty with catheterization, and to prevent upper urinary tract compromise. We evaluated long-term decisional regret and associated factors following urinary reconstruction in spinal cord injury patients.
Materials And Methods: We interviewed patients with spinal cord injuries who underwent bladder reconstruction surgery at least ten years ago, administering validated surveys on bowel quality of life and dysfunction, urinary tract infections, and decisional regret.
Health-Related Quality of Life Across the Spectrum of Bladder Cancer: A Current Review.

Department of Urology, Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, 41 Mall Road, Burlington, MA, USA.
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to highlight the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) burden of bladder cancer due to the disease itself and its treatments.
Recent Findings: Large database studies have provided evidence that patients with bladder cancer have worse HRQOL than the general population. While transurethral resections and intravesical therapy are known to cause urinary symptoms, a large impact on HRQOL otherwise has not been demonstrated.
