To assess the effects of abstinence time on semen parameters in normozoospermic and oligozoospermic men using a large cohort of subfertile men.From 2002 to 2013, we retrospectively reviewed data from 15,623 patients seen at our fertility clinic. Data on patient age and semen parameters were extracted along with abstinence time. Abstinence time was categorized into 4 groups (≤2 days; >2 and ≤5 days;...
To evaluate the effects of different subtypes of urinary incontinence (UI) on sexual function and quality of life (QoL).Ninety-three women with UI were enrolled in the observational study. By the urodynamic findings, 32 women (34.5 %) were diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), 35 (37.6%) with urgency urinary incontinence (UUI), and 26 (27.9%) with mixed urinary incontinence (MUI).

To characterize contemporary resource utilization and medical outcomes for infants with antenatal hydronephrosis and their mothers from a national claims database. We hypothesize that management of isolated hydronephrosis (IHN) varies widely, with decreased imaging following the 2010 Society for Fetal Urology Consensus Statement.Using MarketScan claims from 2007 to 2013, we identified infants 0-12...
To assess the outcomes of “watering can” ureterocele puncture (WCP), a technique previously associated with decreased incidence of de novo vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), as a durable option for management of ureteroceles and to determine the need for subsequent surgery for VUR following watering can puncture.We retrospectively reviewed records of 55 consecutive endoscopic ureterocele procedures performed...
To demonstrate the surgical management of adult acquired buried penis (AABP). Affected patients have poor sexual function, urinary dribbling with subsequent skin breakdown, mood disturbance, lichen sclerosus with subsequent urethral stricture, and poor quality of life. Previous efforts have described limited repairs including an isolated resection of the escutcheon, which unfortunately often leads...
To evaluate features from the medical student application record that predict for a high-quality urology resident because there are currently sparse data on factors that are associated with a successful urology residency.We reviewed the Mayo Clinic experience with 53 urology residents who matriculated between 2000 and 2011. Residents were independently scored 1-10 based on overall quality by the Program...
To evaluate the sexual function of young men with spina bifida and the impact of the disorder on the quality of life (QOL).To assess sexual function and QOL by using self-administered questionnaires (International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF] and 36-Item Short Form Health Survey) for young men with spina bifida. We collected data from 47 young men with spina bifida between June 2013 and October...
To present a rare case of testicular metastasis from prostatic adenocarcinoma origin and to provide a meaningful discussion of currently available supporting literature.Pertinent health information was obtained by retrospective analysis of hospital electronic medical records.A 93-year-old man with history of castration-resistant prostatic adenocarcinoma presented with recurrent episodes of epididymo-orchitis...
To evaluate the association between miRNAs and veno-occlusive erectile dysfunction. Recently, this association between miRNAs and erectile dysfunction was extensively studied using animal models. Our aim was to explore the miRNAs expressions and functions in the development of erectile dysfunction, especially veno-occlusive dysfunction, using a human tissue.We prospectively recruited 60 patients with...
To determine if there is correlation between nighttime 12-hour and traditional 24-hour urine collection in regard to chemistry values and the supersaturations of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, and uric acid for the metabolic evaluation of nephrolithiasis.Ninety-five patients were prospectively enrolled from 2013 to 2015. Patients >18 years of age who presented to a tertiary stone clinic and...
To compare 2 bladder cancer-specific health-related quality of life instruments (HRQOL) in the same patient population. Previous HRQOL studies in cystectomy patients have yielded conflicting results. Using a cross-sectional study design, we examined the only 2 validated bladder cancer-specific (HRQOL) measures.Of the 256 patients who had undergone radical cystectomy from 2009 to 2014, 131 met both...
To analyze lower urinary tract symptoms and benign prostate hyperplasia features among male BRCA1 and 2 carriers and an age-matched control group.Male BRCA carriers and noncarriers aged 40-70 years were enrolled in our cross-sectional study. Relevant clinical data were collected, and patients filled the International Prostate Symptom Score. Patients also underwent prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood...
To determine the clinical value of visually assessed renal tissue transit time (TTT) in 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3) renography for patients undergoing pyeloplasty.Medical records of 164 patients who underwent dismembered pyeloplasty were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline and postoperative renal ultrasonography and 99mTc-MAG3 renography were performed. Two urologists blinded to clinical...
