Our results with 105 pediatric renal transplantations, are reviewed. The identified complications were: 4 ureterovesical stenoses, 1 pyeloureteral stenosis, 1 vesical rupture, 1 vesicoureteral reflux on native ureters and 1 acute urinary obstruction. These incidences were scattered among 5 patients of whom 3 had 2 complications each. All were surgically corrected and 4 of the kidneys are well-functioning at present. We analyze the factors possibly involved and suggest that donor and recipient related parameters might not be determinant, save for those patients afflicted with lower urinary tract anomalies, and that ureteral catheters may prevent urinary extravasation or fistulae.

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.

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is common in males with benign prostate enlargement (BPE) and often presents with different lower urinary tract symptoms. Overactive bladder (OAB) has been reported to be related to BOO, although it can also be idiopathic. The storage symptoms of BOO are often similar to those of OAB.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and its related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are commonly observed among aging males and have a substantial effect on quality of life. Metabolic syndrome, with a specific focus on obesity, is believed to play a role in the development of BPH. This study intends to explore the relationship between several obesity-related metrics, including the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI), and LUTS/BPH within a national cohort of Chinese men.

Background: The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing in Asian countries. Although moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy is not inferior to conventional fractionated radiation according to the updated guidelines, data regarding its efficacy and safety in Taiwan are currently lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of prostate cancer patients treated with hypofractionated image-guided radiotherapy at a single institution in Taiwan.
