Aim: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the frequency and risk factors of urinary dysfunction after autonomic nerve-preserving surgery for rectal cancer.

Methods: This was a retrospective multiinstitution study of 1002 rectal cancer patients conducted between January 2008 and December 2012 in Yokohama Clinical Oncology Group. Patients who had preoperative urinary dysfunction or had not undergone autonomic nerve preservation surgery were excluded. Urinary dysfunction was defined as that with a Clavien-Dindo classification grade ≥ 2. Patient-, tumor-, and surgery-related variables were examined by univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results: A total of 887 patients were analyzed. Postoperative urinary dysfunction was observed in 77 patients (8.8%). A multivariate logistic analysis showed that a tumor location in lower rectum (odds ratio [OR] 2.16; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-3.71; p = 0.02), tumor diameter ≥ 40 mm (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.19-4.44; p < 0.01), operation time ≥ 240 min (OR 2.07; 95% CI 1.19-4.44; p < 0.01), blood loss ≥ 300 ml (OR 2.35; 95% CI 1.12-3.84; p = 0.02), and diabetes (OR 3.26; 95% CI 1.80-5.89; p < 0.01) were independent risk factors of urinary dysfunction. The incidence of urinary dysfunction exceeded 20% in patients with 3 preoperative predictors (tumor location, tumor diameter, diabetes).

Conclusions: This result demonstrated that high-risk patients with more than two risk factors should be informed of the risk of urinary dysfunction.

Background: The existing criteria for living kidney donors (LKDs)in Japan are controversial. We evaluated the roles of computed tomography volumetry (CTV) and 99 m Tc-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) scintigraphy in assessing preoperative and postoperative renal function and predicting early recovery of residual renal function.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 175 consecutive LKDs who underwent donor nephrectomy (DN) at our institution between 2006 and 2022.

Impaired bladder compliance secondary to congenital or acquired bladder dysfunction can lead to irreversible kidney damage. This is managed with surgical augmentation utilizing intestinal tissue, which can cause stone formation, infections, and malignant transformation. Co-seeded bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)/CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell (HSPC) scaffolds (PRS) have been successful in regenerating bladder tissue.

Background: Type-III prostatitis is the most common prostate disease in adult males below 40 years old. The actual operation of its diagnosis process is cumbersome. Recently, a group of top Chinese urologists have proposed the theory of "prostate-pelvic syndrome (PPS)" and suggested using it to replace the traditional term for type-III prostatitis.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common and debilitating condition among people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and is more prevalent among women. Over the past decade, numerous studies have investigated the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) as a treatment for UI in people with MS. MS negatively impacts pulmonary function even in the early stages of the disease and people with MS may experience respiratory muscle weakness.
