Filter by:There are many factors that affect uroflowmetry parameters. One of these is the urination position. Research has mostly focused on standing and sitting urination positions. However, those who prefer the standing position as a habit can urinate by opening the zipper or lowering the trousers. Although the effect of these two applications on uroflowmetry parameters in healthy men has been investigated in only one study, their effect on patients with lower urinary tract symptoms has not been examined.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the surgical outcome of Z-scrotoplasty versus Heineke-Mikulicz scrotoplasty in the management of congenital penoscrotal web in pediatric age group. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Question 1: Is there a difference in the surgical outcome between using Z-scrotoplasty and Heinke Miculickz scrotoplasty in the management of congenital penoscrotal web?] Participants will be divided into two groups; Group A treated by Z-scrotoplasty and Group B treated by Heineke Miculickz scrotoplasty.
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.
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.
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.
In this study, we will try to emphasize the effects of using cranberry tablets, which is an alternative to antibiotic therapy, during uncomplicated urinary tract infections (only urinary tract, bladder and kidney infections did not).
Urological surgery patients will have their blood glucose measured before, during, and after surgery. Blood glucose will be measured using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device. We hypothesize the presence of a hyperglycemic state towards the end of surgery due to increased metabolic demand.
This study is designed to assess if there is a significant difference in same day discharge rates after Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). The investigators attempt to perform HoLEP as a same-day discharge (SDD) procedure, but at Northwestern Memorial, the SDD rate is currently approximately 60%. The limiting factor in SDD is hematuria. Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a clot promoting drug that is commonly used by orthopedic, cardiac and obstetric surgeons to prevent bleeding. The primary outcome will be to assess if there is a difference in SDD rates in those who receive TXA vs. those who do not. Secondary outcomes will assess bleeding complications (defined as unplanned ED visit/clinic visit/procedure/admission related to bleeding, clot retention, clot evacuation, need for perioperative transfusion) between participants who receive TXA vs. those do not. The study will also assess differences in perioperative complications associated with TXA including but not limited to: deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular events, between the groups. The study will also assess for the duration of postoperative hematuria between groups as well as differences in operative times between the groups. The investigators anticipate that there may be up to a 25% increase in SDD rates in those who receive TXA vs. those who do not.
