Effect of intra-vaginal electric stimulation on bladder compliance in stress urinary incontinence patients: the involvement of autonomic tone

Frontiers in Neuroscience
ObjectiveIn addition to the well-established advantage that strengthened pelvic musculature increases urethral resistance in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients, intra-vaginal electrical stimulation (iVES) has been shown in preclinical studies to ...

Tailored Vascular Approach in Robot‐Assisted Nephroureterectomy for a Horseshoe Kidney: A Case Report

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction A horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly with complex vascular variations that increase surgical difficulty. Few reports have specifically addressed the vascular approaches in robot‐assisted surgery. Case Presentation A man in his 70s was diagnosed with right ureteral urothelial carcinoma in a horseshoe kidney. Preoperative

Nerve at Risk: A Narrative Review of Surgical Nerve Injuries in Urological Practice

Surgeries
Background: Iatrogenic nerve injuries (NIs) are an under-recognized complication of urological surgery. Though less common than vascular or organ damage, they may cause lasting sensory and motor deficits, significantly affecting patients’ quality of life.

Pain Trajectories and Predictors Following Uterine Artery Embolization Using a Nitroglycerin–Lidocaine Protocol: A Prospective Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is an effective minimally invasive treatment for symptomatic fibroids; however, post‐procedural pain remains a major limitation. Intra‐arterial lidocaine administration has shown inconsistent results with concerns regarding vasospasm and incomplete embolization.

Inferior Hypogastric Plexus Block Affects Sacral Nerves and the Superior Hypogastric Plexus

ISRN Anesthesiology, 2012
Background. The inferior hypogastric plexus mediates pain sensation through the sympathetic chain for the lower abdominal and pelvic viscera and is thought to be a major structure involved in numerous pelvic and perineal pain syndromes and conditions. Objectives.

Effects of long-term fluoxetine treatment on adrenergic plasticity in rat vas deferens

Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014
Chronic antidepressant administration increases neurotrophin levels in the central and peripheral nervous system, leading to an increase of neuronal sprouting, reestablishment of neural networks and neurotransmitter levels.

Layer by Layer: The Anatomical ‘Onion Peel’ Approach to Surgery Beyond Total Mesorectal Excision

ANZ Journal of Surgery, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 1265-1269, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The global incidence of rectal cancer is rising, accompanied by the increasing use of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Although this approach improves oncological outcomes, it frequently increases operative difficulty during rectal resection.

Interval Vaginal Delivery of Term Twins From Bilateral Horns of a Uterus Didelphys: Insight Into Labor Initiation and Progression

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, Volume 52, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Uterus didelphys, characterized by two separate uterine cavities and cervices, is associated with increased obstetric complications. Twin pregnancy with one fetus in each horn is exceptionally rare, often managed by cesarean or resulting in preterm birth.

Enhanced BDNF and ROS in Mucosa of Lower Motor Neuron Lesioned Dog Bladder Following Somatic Motor Nerve Transfer

Cells
Neurotrophic factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate neuronal plasticity. In a model of a lower motor neuron lesioned bladder, somatic nerve transfer was used as a reinnervation strategy.
