To investigate combined therapeutic efficacy of human adipose-derived stem cells (h-ADSCs) application on injured cavernous nerve and low-energy shockwave therapy (SWT) on the corpus cavernosum in a rat model of post-prostatectomy erectile dysfunction.Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: control, bilateral cavernous nerve injury (BCNI), adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) (BCNI group with h-ADSCs...
To determine a nationwide contemporary description of surgical Fournier gangrene (FG) and necrotizing fasciitis of the genitalia (NFG) outcomes because historically reported mortality rates for FG and NFG are based on small single-institution studies from the 1980s and the 1990s.The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program is a risk-adjusted surgical database used by nearly 400 hospitals nationwide,...
To evaluate contemporary national trends and outcomes of open pyeloplasty (OP) vs minimally invasive pyeloplasty (MIP) in the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction using the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database.Patients treated by OP or MIP between 2006 and 2011 were identified by The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes...
To investigate the effect of hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy (RT) on sexual function in patients treated for localized prostate cancer, and also to determine the effect of radiation dose to the penile bulb or crura of the corpus cavernosum on sexual function outcome.Forty-one patients treated with hypofractionated RT without androgen deprivation were prescribed 67.6-70.2 Gy to the...
To identify the causative pathogens and evaluate the antibiotic sensitivity, resistance patterns, and virulence in a contemporary series of patients with Fournier's gangrene.The medical records of 41 consecutive cases of Fournier's gangrene were evaluated. The patient demographics, causative pathogens, antibiotic sensitivity, and resistance patterns were assessed. The Fournier's gangrene severity...
To investigate the clinical outcomes of nonoperative management of emphysematous urinary tract infections (EUTIs). We retrospectively reviewed 28 consecutive cases of EUTI over a 5-year period, all of which were treated with urinary drainage and medical management without surgical intervention. EUTIs were classified as either emphysematous pyelonephritis (EP) or emphysematous cystitis (EC). Clinical,...
To describe a novel technique to block the distal ureter, thus preventing spillage of tumor cell bearing urine during laparoscopic pluck nephroureterectomy. Currently, there is no consensus on the appropriate management of distal ureter during laparoscopic nephroureterectomy.A review was performed of patients who underwent modified laparoscopic pluck nephroureterectomy for upper tract transitional...
