BACKGROUND
We produced a novel model of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) by periurethral injection of hyaluronic acid and compared the cystometric features, postoperative complications, and histopathological changes of that model with that of traditional open surgery.
METHODS
Forty female
BACKGROUND
Benign prostatic hyperplasia; BPH is associated with the symptoms of the bladder overactivity. This disease can be comparatively easly induced using an animal model of the partial bladder outlet obstruction; PBOO. The pathophysiological description of BPH is still incomplete, thus
Overt bladder distension can compress the iliac vessels and result in lower extremity swelling mimicking deep venous thrombosis (DVT). This phenomenon has been reported in patients with bladder outlet obstruction due to prostatism but no report has been made in relation to poststroke urinary
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the protective effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a green tea extract, on partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO)-induced bladder injury in a rat model.
METHODS
The female Sprague-Dawley rats underwent sham or BOO procedures, and were divided into several groups
Lymphocele is a well-known complication of kidney transplantation. Patients usually present with deteriorating renal function, hydronephrosis, a nontender lower abdominal mass or ipsilateral leg edema. Urinary retention, however, is an unusual presentation of lymphocele. We herein report a case of a
The morphologic response of smooth muscle cells in the urinary bladder to a standardized bladder neck obstruction and the cell changes subsequent to release of that obstruction were studied in both growing and adult rabbits. The bladder reacted first by gross dilation and then by concentric
Vesical calculi were detected in 5 patients with a vesicovaginal fistula. Of these patients 3 had undergone unsuccessful repair of the fistula previously. The predisposing factors for vesical calculous formation in patients with a vesicovaginal fistula in whom urine leaks continuously into the
Retroperitoneal pelvic lymphoceles are one of the most common complications following renal transplantation, and usually present with a palpable mass, ipsilateral leg edema, hydronephrosis caused by ureteral obstruction, decreased renal function and cutaneous lymphatic fistula. However, lymphocele
We investigated the effectiveness and associated complications of treatment with an endoluminal urethral sphincter prosthesis in 153 spinal cord injury men (mean age 36 years, range 16 to 74 years) with urodynamically diagnosed detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia. These patients were
OBJECTIVE
We studied the outcomes of fetuses in whom cystic hygroma was diagnosed in the first trimester of pregnancy through the application of transvaginal ultrasonography.
METHODS
In the period 1990 to 1991 22 fetuses with cystic hygroma were found. All fetuses had karyotyping and a complete
Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) of prostate was administered to 10 patients with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. The mean age of the patients was 74.4 years (range 63 to 85). The Prostatron device, which provides microwave heating of the prostate and
In an attempt to minimize the need for hospitalization and the associated perioperative and postoperative morbidity, alternatives to transurethral resection of the prostate (the standard treatment modality for benign prostatic hyperplasia) have been sought. Various types of laser prostatectomy have
In the last decade therapeutic options for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) have constantly increased. Although transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is still considered the surgical gold standard, different OBJECTIVE
Self-reinforced bioabsorbable stents can be made self-expanding due to the viscoelastic memory of the oriented bioabsorbable materials. A new self-expandable self-reinforced copolymer of lactic/glycolic acid, lactic/glycolic molar ratio 80:20 stent was developed to prevent postoperative
Introduction: Although several cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors have been suggested to play a role in the development of bladder fibrosis and functional changes, the mechanisms that are effective in the pathogenesis of partial
