Feminine urinary incontinence and urodynamic examination
No full textThe Authors performed urodynamic examinations on all patients affected by urinary incontinence. This examination enabled them to classify incontinence precisely, from the etiopathogenetic point of view. Incontinence may be due to an altered transmission of the abdominal pressure, to sphincteral lesions or insufficiency, or to stimuli. This classification provides clear indications for the choice of the most suitable therapy (surgical, medical, instrumental). It thereby contributes to improving the outcome and decreasing the number of relapses so far reported by all Authors using any of the suggested surgical techniques
Attuale ruolo dell'ecotomografia nella diagnosi dello staging e nel follow-up del carcinoma prostatico.
No full textImplant surgery in Peyronie disease
No full textThe etiology and evolution of Peyronie’s disease are not well known, and this certainly affects patient management. If spontaneous regression or stabilization of the disease is lacking, actually all therapies, except surgery, seem to be only partially successful. We attended 88 patients affected by Peyronie’s disease, and 21 patients (23.6%) were referred for surgery and penile implantation; plaque excision was necessary in 8 patients (38.1%). We implanted 10 malleable prostheses and 11 soft prostheses. So far, potency has been the only parameter for evaluating the results of surgery, but in our view both the patient and his partner should be satisfied aesthetically and functionally
