Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the course of bladder evacuation and the predictors of intermittent self-catheterization (ISC) in individuals with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) during and after primary rehabilitation.

Methods: The patient database of a single spinal cord injury rehabilitation center was screened for patients with NLUTD admitted for primary rehabilitation. Patient characteristics and bladder evacuation details were collected during and after rehabilitation. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate predictors of ISC: sex, age > 65 years, injury severity, and bladder capacity ≥ 400 ml.

Results: Data of 255 men (74.3%) and 88 women (25.7%) with a mean age of 54 ± 19 years were analyzed. Early in rehabilitation, 21.6% of the evaluated individuals used ISC. In 17.8%, the bladder was evacuated by transurethral catheterization (TUC). The proportion of TUC decreased during rehabilitation and dropped below 2% at the last follow-up. In contrast, the proportion of ISC and suprapubic catheterization (SPC) increased to 28% and 12.8%, respectively, during rehabilitation. These proportions increased further thereafter and reached 37.7% and 18.6% for ISC and SPC, respectively. Age and injury severity were significant (p ≤ 0.041) negative predictors, whereas male sex and above-average bladder capacity were positive predictors of ISC.

Conclusions: There is a shift toward bladder evacuation by ISC and SPC during and after primary rehabilitation. Bladder evacuation by ISC, regarded as the gold standard, is less common in individuals > 65 years or with high-level tetraplegia. The optimal bladder evacuation method needs to be established individually, considering all medical and psychosocial factors rather than simply following a guideline.

Comparison of Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate to Bipolar Plasmakinetic Enucleation of the Prostate: A Randomized Prospective Controlled Trial at Midterm Follow-up.

Authors:
Ajay Dattatray Bhandarkar Dipen R Patel

J Endourol 2022 Aug 9. Epub 2022 Aug 9.

Sujay Urological Hospital, Baroda, India;

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) to bipolar plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (BPEP) in the surgical management of obstructive benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) at midterm (minimum 3 years) follow-up.

Patients And Methods: Between June 2016 and January 2018, one hundred and eighty-one patients who had bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or were in refractory retention of urine due to obstructive BPH (prostate size 32-128gms) were randomized to undergo either HoLEP or BPEP by en-bloc technique. Patient's age, associated comorbidities, baseline IPSS, maximum flow rate (Qmax), post void residual (PVR) urine and quality of life (QoL) scores were comparable in both the groups. Read More

[Radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis-possible treatment options!]

Authors:
P Nuhn J Thüroff

Urologie 2022 Jun 30;61(6):614-621. Epub 2022 May 30.

Klinik für Urologie und Urochirurgie, Universitätsklinikum Mannheim, Theodor-Kutzer-Ufer 1-3, 68167, Mannheim, Deutschland.

Radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis is a late-onset complication of radiation therapy of the pelvis with an incidence rate of approximately 5-10%. The severity of hematuria can vary from mild hematuria to more severe bleeding with clot formation and urinary retention to intractable life-threatening bleeding when blood transfusions fail to keep pace with blood loss. Management of radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis is based on the presenting symptoms after ruling out urinary tract infection or a tumor. Read More

Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is often diagnosed during an in-office examination, which looks for motion of the vaginal wall while performing a strain maneuver. It is believed that the pelvic organs in adequately supported women are relatively stationary. This study was aimed at investigating the physiological displacements of pelvic organs using MR defecography. Read More
