Objectives: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a challenging chronic inflammatory condition affecting the urinary bladder, with limited treatment options. This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of repeated intravesical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for promoting urothelial regeneration and reducing inflammation in patients with IC/BPS and investigate its correlation with subjective and objective treatment-related outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Four monthly intravesical PRP injections were given to 98 patients with non-Hunner-type IC/BPS.

Background: To propose the bladder mucosal smoothness (BMS) grade and validate a predictive model including MRI parameters preoperatively that can evaluate the early recovery of urinary continence (UC) after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 203 patients (83 patients experienced UI at the three-month follow-up) who underwent LRP in our medical center and were diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) from June 2016 to March 2020. Patients' clinicopathological data were collected.

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Rua Dr. Ovidio Pires de Campos, 75, Cerqueira César, São Paulo, SP, 05403-010, Brazil.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and short-term (3-month) results of transperineal prostate thermal ablation (TPTA) as a minimally invasive outpatient treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Materials And Methods: A prospective nonrandomized study of 25 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to BPH seeking care at 2 interventional radiology centers between March and July 2024. TPTA was performed using a 17G radiofrequency needle with a 10-mm active tip under unconscious sedation combined with bilateral perineal and periprostatic nerve blocks.
