Filter by:This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) via retroperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches.
The goal of this prospective observational trial is to assess the safety and reliability of the Glean Urodynamics System (GUS) in adult females with lower urinary tract symptoms. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • What is GUS's ability to safely and reliably conduct wireless, catheter-free monitoring of vesical pressure compared to the vesical pressures collected with conventional urodynamics? Participants will undergo a conventional urodynamics exam, a simultaneous urodynamics exam with GUS, ambulatory urodynamics with GUS, and extended home monitoring with GUS. Researchers will compare GUS data with that from a conventional urodynamics exam.
Hypothermia occurs frequently during general anesthesia. This study is to evaluate the efficacy of 10 minutes of prewarming during induction of general anesthesia during urologic surgery.
At the end of most urological procedures, the doctor inserts a urethral catheter for a period of up to 5 days. According to AUA's guidelines, prophylactic antibiotic is indicated during catheter removal. The aim of our study is to check the influence of the antibiotic treatment on urinary tract infections after catheter removal
After dividing the patients into two groups, sedation is performed with propofol and remimazolam, respectively, after spinal anesthesia. Compare the patient's body temperature change after surgery.
Background: Comparison between three different surgical techniques in the management of concealed penis. Methods: This prospective interventional non-randomized study included 150 pediatric patients with concealed penis. They were distributed equally into three groups; group A; patients treated by phallopexy only, group B; patients treated by complete dissection and excision of dartos fascia & group C; patients treated by both phallopexy and dartos excision.
The study aims to demonstrate that the "thrifty antibiotic strategy" applied to MS or SCI patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria prior to BoNTA intravesical injections does not increase the rate of symptomatic post-injection UTIs compared to the current peri-operative antibiotic strategy. Patients included in the study will be randomized in two balanced-parallel groups, 4 days (+/- 2 days) before intra-vesical BoNTA injections. Group 1: Experimental group: "Sparing antibiotic strategy" No antibiotic therapy will be administered during the peri-operative period. Group 2: Control group: Recommendations - Peri-operative antibiotic strategy An antibiotic therapy will be administered during the peri-operative period. The antibiotic will be selected according to the type of bacteria isolated and the antibiotic susceptibility testing, and started two days before and pursued until two days following intra-vesical BoNTA injections. The main objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of "antibiotic saving strategy" compared to peri-operative antibiotic strategy (current recommendations) for occurrence of symptomatic UTI after intra-vesical BoNTA injections in the management of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) among multiple sclerosis (MS) and spinal cord injured (SCI) patients undergoing clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC).
Aim: This study was carried out to compare the effects of different education methods utilized before a urodynamic testing procedure on patients' pain, anxiety, readiness for the procedure, and satisfaction. Background: Urodynamic testing is an invasive procedure that causes pain and anxiety. Patient education is an evidence-based nursing intervention that relieves pain and anxiety and increases patient satisfaction. Design: The study is a single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial. Method: Participants (n=80) were randomly assigned to four groups. While patients in the control group were provided with routine clinical information, patients in the intervention group were given education with brochures, videos, and brochure-supported videos. The research data were collected by using a Data Collection Form with items about participants' descriptive characteristics, the State Anxiety Inventory, and the Visual Analog Scale.
Supplements and functional foods are now readily available and usable by the general population. Many supplemnets are commonly used in poly-treated patients where interactions or adverse events may develop, therefore we evaluate in the rela life the use of nutraceuticals, their clinical effects and the development of adverse drug reactions
This study is being done to compare usefulness of data collected in uroflowmetry, a test that measures the amount of urine released from the body, at home versus in the doctor's office. Additionally, investigators are assessing patient satisfaction when completing a virtual visit for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), related to prostatic enlargement, compared to an in person visit. The three devices being investigated have not been used in the home setting to make urinary measurements as is typically done in clinic. The goal is to test the effectiveness and accuracy of these devices compared to our standard clinical practices and demonstrate their ability to provide useful information in the home setting.
