Precise Robotic Y-V Plasty for Vesico-Urethral Anastomotic Stenosis: Avoiding Urinary Incontinence [PDF]

International Brazilian Journal of Urology
Objective: The treatment of vesico-urethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) is difficult because of the high risk of urinary incontinence. Cystoscopy-guided robotic Y-V plasty is hypothesized to reduce the incidence of urinary incontinence compared to ...

Multiscale Entropy Analysis of Surface Electromyographic Signals from the Urethral Sphincter as a Prognostic Indicator for Surgical Candidates with Primary Bladder Neck Obstruction

Entropy, 2015
To explore information hidden in the electromyographic (EMG) signals of the urethral sphincter that may be of prognostic significance for patients with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO), 41 patients with voiding difficulty were divided into four ...

Urethral Sphincter Botulinum Toxin A Injection for Non-Spinal Cord Injured Patients with Voiding Dysfunction without Anatomical Obstructions: Which Patients Benefit Most?

Toxins, 2023
Objective: Treating voiding dysfunction without anatomical obstructions is challenging. Urethral onabotulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) is used in treating voiding dysfunction; however, the success rate varies widely, and patients may not be satisfied with the ...

Optical EUS Activation to Relax Sensitized Micturition Response

Life, 2023
This study aims to activate the external urethral sphincter (EUS), which plays a critical role in micturition control, through optogenetics and to determine its potential contribution to the stabilization of sensitized micturition activity.

A canine model of irreversible urethral sphincter insufficiency [PDF]

, 2009
OBJECTIVE: To develop a canine model of external urinary sphincter insufficiency by creating irreversible damage to the sphincter, because there is a need for a reliable and reproducible large animal model for the study of stress urinary incontinence ...

Past, Present, and Future in the Study of Neural Control of the Lower Urinary Tract [PDF]

International Neurourology Journal, 2020
The neurological coordination of the lower urinary tract can be analyzed from the perspective of motor neurons or sensory neurons. First, sensory nerves with receptors in the bladder and urethra transmits stimuli to the cerebral cortex through the ...

Locomotor Exercise Enhances Supraspinal Control of Lower-Urinary-Tract Activity to Improve Micturition Function after Contusive Spinal-Cord Injury

Cells, 2022
The recovery of lower-urinary-tract activity is a top priority for patients with spinal-cord injury. Historically, locomotor training improved micturition function in both patients with spinal cord injury and animal models.

Laser neoureterocystostomy to treat ectopic ureters

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ureteral ectopia is an uncommon but clinically important congenital abnormality in horses. If left untreated, it can lead to persistent dermatitis, urinary tract infections, and failure to thrive. Surgical correction is necessary, but traditional approaches have produced mixed results with high morbidity.

Delivery of the 5-HT_2A Receptor Agonist, DOI, Enhances Activity of the Sphincter Muscle during the Micturition Reflex in Rats after Spinal Cord Injury

Biology, 2021
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts spinobulbospinal micturition reflex pathways and results in urinary dysfunction. Over time, an involuntary bladder reflex is established due to the reorganization of spinal circuitry.
