Outcomes after urethroplasty for radiotherapy induced bulbomembranous urethral stricture disease
The Journal of urology · 2013
We recently demonstrated that radiotherapy induced urethral strictures can be successfully managed with urethroplasty. We increased size and followup in our multi-institutional cohort, and evaluated excision and primary anastomosis as treatment for...
Safety of the "drain and retain" option for defunctionalized urologic prosthetic balloons and reservoirs during artificial urinary sphincter and inflatable penile prosthesis revision surgery: 5-year experience
Urology · 2013
To present our 5-year experience using a "drain and retain" option, in which existing urologic prosthetic balloons and reservoirs (UPBR) were emptied but not removed during routine artificial urinary sphincter (AUS)/inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP)...
Is prolonged catheterization a risk factor for artificial urinary sphincter cuff erosion?
Urology · 2013
To evaluate the relative risk of prolonged urethral catheterization (PC), >48 hours, on artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuff erosion in a tertiary referral population. All men who had undergone AUS implantation or revision by multiple surgeons at our...
Deep lateral transurethral incisions for recurrent bladder neck contracture: promising 5-year experience using a standardized approach
Urology · 2013
To evaluate our 5-year experience with deep lateral transurethral incisions of bladder neck contracture (TUIBNC), identify risk factors associated with failure of procedure, and assess outcomes of men subsequently treated for concomitant or de novo stress...
Poor quality of life in patients with urethral stricture treated with intermittent self-dilation
The Journal of urology · 2013
We assessed patient perceptions of regular intermittent self-dilation in men with urethral stricture. We constructed and distributed a visual analog questionnaire to evaluate intermittent self-dilation via catheterization by men referred for urethral...
Transcorporal artificial urinary sphincter cuff placement is associated with a higher risk of postoperative urinary retention
The Canadian journal of urology · 2013
To explore the association of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuff sizes and placement techniques with the development of postoperative urinary retention. We analyzed the outcomes of AUS cases performed by a single surgeon at a tertiary referral center...
Cost-effectiveness of risk stratified followup after urethral reconstruction: a decision analysis
The Journal of urology · 2013
We propose a novel risk stratified followup protocol for use after urethroplasty and explore potential cost savings. Decision analysis was performed comparing a symptom based, risk stratified protocol for patients undergoing excision and primary...
Reconstruction of traumatic and reoperative anterior urethral strictures via excisional techniques
The Urologic clinics of North America · 2013
Reoperative urethroplasty is complicated by increased urethral and periurethral scar and the frequent persistence of comorbid conditions that caused the original failure. Nevertheless, by experienced clinicians, reoperative urethral reconstruction can be...
Nationwide emergency department visits for priapism in the United States
The journal of sexual medicine · 2013
The epidemiology of priapism is not well characterized. A small number of studies based on inpatient data or small population samples have estimated the incidence to range from 0.34 to 1.5 cases per 100,000 males. To estimate the current epidemiology and...
Clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes of penetrating external genital injuries
The journal of trauma and acute care surgery · 2013
Penetrating external genital injuries, although uncommon, may present complex problems for the urologic and trauma surgeon. A paucity of data exists on the incidence, clinical characteristics, and management outcomes of these injuries because few...
Impact of increasing prevalence of minimally invasive prostatectomy on open prostatectomy observed in the national inpatient sample and national surgical quality improvement program
Journal of endourology · 2013
Laparoscopic and especially robot-assisted minimally invasive prostatectomy (MIP) has increased in popularity over the past decade. We analyzed how the increasing prevalence of MIP has affected the outcomes of MIP and open radical prostatectomy (RRP). In...
