OBJECTIVE To determine the sensitivity of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) in the detection of vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). METHODS The study included 15 patients with urinary incontinence suspected or diagnosed to be due to vesicovaginal fistula that were originally referred to the department for intravenous urography (IVU). Complimentary TVS was done with consent. Cases with stress incontinen...

INTRODUCTION Endometriosis is a disease with causes still unclear, affecting approximately 15% of women of reproductive age, and in 1%-2% of whom it may involve the urinary tract. The bladder is the organ most frequently affected by endometriosis, observed around 85% of the cases. In such cases, the most effective treatment is partial cystectomy, especially via videolaparoscopy. Study Objective...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the role of fluorescence-guided cystoscopy in a high-risk bladder cancer population undergoing screening based on a multi-marker panel of urine-tests (UroScreen-study). PATIENTS AND METHODS UroScreen was conducted as a validation study for tumor markers within the frame of a health surveillance program of workers with occupational exposure to aromatic amine...

Primary ureteral neoplasms are very rare and its prevalence is less than 1% of all genitourinary neoplasms. We report a symptomatic giant ureteral fibro epithelial polyp in adult women presenting as a bladder mass which was resected ureteroscopically and reported at the first time from Iran. Cystoscopy is growing use in the treatment of urinary tract lesions Cystoscopy can be used in large lesi...

Background: The International Bladder Cancer Group (IBCG) recently proposed a new definition of disease progression in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), including change in T-stage, change to T2 or higher or change from low to high grade. Objective: To establish whether blue light cystoscopy with hexaminolevulinate (HAL) impacts the rate of progression and time to progression using th...

The increasing radicalism of the treatment for cervical cancer-the operation as well as the irradiation -has made therapy increasingly serious for the patient in general, but especially for the organs near the uterus, mainly the urologic system. The care for the patient does not start with the treatment but begins before, with a thorough examination. One of the most important parts of this exam...

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A for non-neurogenic urinary urge incontinence. METHODS We conducted a six-month, randomized, double-blind controlled trial involving women with urinary urge incontinence. Participants received intradetrusor injections of either botulinum toxin (100U in 10 mL) via cystoscopy or a placebo control (saline injecti...

When urethral catheterisation is difficult or impossible in spinal cord injury patients, flexible cystoscopy and urethral catheterisation over a guide wire can be performed on the bedside, thus obviating the need for emergency suprapubic cystostomy. Spinal cord injury patients, who undergo flexible cystoscopy and urethral catheterisation over a guide wire, may develop potentially serious compli...

Abstract Background Microscopic abnormalities are common findings on routine urinalysis performed for various clinical reasons. As a small proportion of these may indicate an underlying malignancy, large number patients with referred further investigations, which includes cystoscopy. We aim to investigate the diagnostic utility cystoscopy in detecting malignancy this group patients. Methods A r...
