Abstract

Background

The abuse of antimicrobical drugs has increased the resistance of microorganisms to treatments, thus to make urinary tract infections (UTIs) more difficult to eradicate.

Abstract

Objectives:

To investigate the safety, efficacy, and versatility of dorsolateral graft urethroplasty using penile skin.

Abstract

We investigated if an adequate histological diagnosis can be made from tissue after Thulium laser vapo-enucleation of the prostate (ThuVEP) and whether it is comparable to transurethral prostate resection (TURP) tissue findings in patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Abstract

Introduction:

Although several new measurements for female sexual dysfunction (fsd) have recently been developed, the female sexual function index (fsfi) remains the gold standard for screening and one of the most widely used questionnaires.

Abstract

Objective:

To evaluate the functional and operative results of thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (thulep) in patients with indwelling catheters for refractory urinary retention.

Abstract

Purpose:

Various articles have previously addressed the introduction of new surgical laser therapies for an enlarged prostate gland causing obstructive symptoms. The objective of this study was to report the feasibility of performing the thulium laser vapo-enucleation of the prostate (thuvep) procedure for benign prostatic obstruction in a 1-day surgery.

Abstract

Purpose:

To assess the validity of frozen section examination (fse) on testis nodules.

Abstract

Objective:

To evaluate the pre- and postoperative aspects of sexual life (sl) in patients with bulbar urethral stricture who underwent ventral oral graft urethroplasty.

Abstract

Epispadias is a rare condition in women. A postmenopausal 53-year-old woman with a known problem of epispadias came to our outpatient clinic complaining of persistent severe urinary stress incontinence without overactive bladder symptoms.

Abstract

Purpose

Interest in the disease-specific psychological well-being of patients with cancer has increased, and it has been estimated that less than half of all patients with cancer are properly identified and subsequently treated for anxiety or depression.

Abstract

Spermatozoa can be retrieved in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) patients despite the absence of ejaculated spermatozoa in their semen because of the presence of isolated foci with active spermatogenesis.

Abstract

Treatment of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may affect the quality of sexual function and ejaculation.

Abstract

Objective:

To determine national practice patterns in the management of male urethral strictures among italian urologists.

Abstract

Objective:

We present our preliminary experience with the use of autologous cell cultures of buccal mucosa (bm) in urethral repair.
