Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a modified type C1 hysterectomy, using the deep uterine vein (DUV) and its branches as an anatomical landmark, to reduce postoperative bladder dysfunction in cervical cancer patients.
Methods: One hundred fifty-two stage IA2-IIB cervical cancer patients were enrolled to undergo a laparoscopic hysterectomy. According to the operation methods, 93 or 59 of the patients were assigned to a type C1 hysterectomy (group 1), using the DUV and its branches as an anatomical landmark, and a type C2 hysterectomy (group 2), respectively. The baseline data, operation time, blood loss, hospitalization time, survival rate, and bladder dysfunction of both groups were compared.
Results: The patients in group 1 experienced shorter overall and postoperative hospitalization time, less blood loss, and shorter catheterization time, as compared to those in group 2. There were no statistically significant differences in intraoperative damage, postoperative complications, numbers of dissected lymph nodes, and rates of positive resection margins between two groups. The incidences of long-term overall bladder dysfunction, urinary retention, and bladder-emptying difficulties were lower in group 1 than those in group 2. There was no statistically significant difference in bladder storage dysfunction, such as urinary incontinence and frequent urination, between two groups. The 3-year disease-free survival rates and 3-year overall survival rates in the two groups were both similar.
Conclusion: Compared to type C2 hysterectomies, type C1 hysterectomies, using the DUV and its branches as an anatomical landmark, resulted in shorter hospitalization time, less blood loss, reduced bladder dysfunction, and uncompromised radicality.

Importance: Strong evidence demonstrates long-term cognitive decline associated with anticholinergics. While prevalent among older populations, medical management of overactive bladder (OAB) is dictated by insurance coverage rather than medical provider and patient preferences.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess Medicare insurance plan coverage for select OAB medications and evaluate coverage of preferred medications to medications with a greater risk of cognitive dysfunction.
MRI Signs Associated With Bladder Injury During Cesarean Delivery in Severe Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorders.

Background: Bladder injury during cesarean delivery (CD) in pregnant women with severe placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders mostly occurs in the dissection of vesico-uterine space. Placental MRI may help to assess the risk of bladder injury preoperatively.
Purpose: To identify the high-risk MRI signs of bladder injury during CD in women with severe PAS.
Cauda Equina Syndrome Without Perineal Sensory Changes or Lower Extremity Neurological Deficits Following Postoperative Spinal Epidural Hematoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Department of Orthopedics, Ningbo No. 6 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Postoperative spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) is a rare but serious complication following lumbar surgery, with cauda equina syndrome (CES) being one of its most devastating outcomes. While CES typically presents with a combination of bladder and/or bowel dysfunction, diminished sensation in the saddle area, and motor or sensory changes in the lower limbs, atypical cases with isolated urinary symptoms are less recognized and pose significant diagnostic challenges.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 46-year-old male who developed CES following lumbar microdiscectomy, presenting solely with urinary retention, without the classic signs of lower limb weakness or perineal sensory loss.
Prognostic value and immune landscapes of disulfidptosis‑related lncRNAs in bladder cancer.

Disulfidptosis, which was recently identified, has shown promise as a potential cancer treatment. Nonetheless, the precise role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in this phenomenon is currently unclear. To elucidate their significance in bladder cancer (BLCA), a signature of disulfidptosis-related lncRNAs (DRlncRNAs) was developed and their potential prognostic significance was explored.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: Retrograde ejaculation (RE) consists of the reflux backwards, towards the bladder, of the ejaculate, during the emission phase of ejaculation, causing a total or partial absence of sperm emission, with the consequent diversion of semen into the bladder during the emission phase of ejaculation. Evaluating the ejaculate may not be sufficient for identifying RE in some patients. Hence, the management of infertility may involve the use of invasive methods such as epididymal fluid retrieval or testicular biopsy.
