It is well documented that the prevalence of nephrolithiasis increasing in adults United States over time. Approximately 11% men and 7% women have reported a lifetime history cross-sectional studies. However, burden acute management may be better assessed from annual cumulative incidence. This accounting new stone occurrences, however, not described on national scale.The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey set large-scale health care utilization surveys families, individuals, their providers...
Large language models are artificial intelligence applications that can comprehend and produce human-like text language. ChatGPT is one such model. Recent advances have increased interest in the utility of large medicine. Urogynecology counseling complex time-consuming. Therefore, we evaluated as a potential adjunct for patient counseling.
Abstract Aim Female urethral stricture disease is rare and has several surgical approaches including endoscopic dilations (ENDO), urethroplasty with local vaginal tissue flap (ULT) or free graft (UFG). This study aims to describe the contemporary management of female evaluate outcomes these three approaches. Methods a multi‐institutional, retrospective cohort evaluating operative treatment for stricture. Surgeries were grouped into categories: ENDO, ULT, UFG. Time from surgery recurrence by...
Purpose: Develop real-world evidence that rapid identification of uropathogens and susceptibilities improves urologic outcomes for patients with complicated or history recurrent urinary tract infections (r/cUTIs). Standard urine culture (SUC) is slow, often missing polymicrobial altered antibiotic resistance from their metabolic interactions. Materials Methods: We compared 1-year UTI-related health care utilization costs UTIs diagnosed by outpatient multiplex polymerase chain reaction/pooled...
Studies have shown that multiple genes influence antibiotic susceptibility, but the relationship between genotypic and phenotypic susceptibility is unclear. We sought to analyze concordance presence of resistance (ABR) results in urine samples collected from patients with symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI). Urine were presenting 37 geographically disparate urology clinics across United States July 2018 February 2019. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction was used detect 27 ABR genes. In...
Abstract Aims In patients with pudendal neuralgia, prior studies have shown efficacy in chronic stimulation Interstim® (Medtronic, Inc.). This feasibility study reports on the initial experience of using a wireless system to power an implanted lead at nerve, StimWave®, treat neuralgia. Methods Retrospective chart review identified placed nerve for neuralgia and powered wirelessly. Clinical outcomes were assessed Postoperative visits phone calls. Administered non‐validated follow‐up...
Purpose: Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is highly prevalent among patients with neurologic disorders. Some studies have demonstrated that implantable neuromodulation can improve symptoms of NLUTD. We seek to describe our experience sacral and pudendal in NLUTD.Methods: A retrospective chart review “neurogenic bladder” ICD-9/10 (International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision/10th Revision) code was performed at a single institution. This included from 2008 2020 who...
Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate our experience using cyclosporine A (CyA) in the treatment Hunner lesion interstitial cystitis (HLIC). Methods Retrospective chart review performed on patients with HLIC treated CyA from August 2012 September 2019. Demographic and clinical variables, number therapies, frequency, nocturia, bladder pain visual analog scores before after were collected, as well Global Response Assessment (GRA) Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index Problem...
Abstract Objectives Fluoroscopy has significantly improved lead placement and decreased surgical time for implantable sacral neuromodulation (SNM). There is a paucity of data regarding radiation safety fluoroscopy during SNM procedures. Our study aims to characterize dose used surgery across multiple institutions assess predictors increased dose. Methods Electronic medical records were queried procedures (Stage 1 full implant) from 2016 2021 at four academic institutions. Demographic,...
Abstract Introduction There has been increased interest in using autologous tissues since the Food and Drug Administration banned transvaginal mesh for pelvic organ prolapse 2019. Our study aims to assess patients’ perspective of functional cosmetic impact on fascia lata harvest site patients undergoing treatment stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods This is a prospective survey retrospective cohort who underwent pubovaginal sling between 2017 2022. Participants completed regarding...
