Article Abstract

Tissue Engineering (TE) approaches are needed to advance the field of reconstructive urology. We indicate that regeneration of ureteral tissue and the formation of a urinary diversion using TE approaches are possible, although it is currently very time-consuming and complex to achieve well-developed neotissue. Faster regeneration approaches using novel scaffolds are desirable. The findings of this review may help to develop smart hybrid scaffolds and enhance the design of future studies, which may ultimately lead to improved care for patients with ureteral defects as well as to curb complications associated with urinary diversion.

Pug dogs are predisposed to thoracolumbar myelopathy associated with vertebral articular process dysplasia, suggesting a biomechanical etiology. While surgery is commonly pursued, long-term outcomes remain poorly defined. This retrospective descriptive case series reports on seven Pug dogs that underwent surgical treatment for thoracolumbar myelopathy and were followed up for at least 7 years postoperatively.

Objectives: To balance the extended functional urinary voiding and morbidity outcomes amid Ileal W and Y-shaped contrasted to spherical ileocoecal (IC) orthotopic bladders subsequent prostate-sparing radical cystectomy (PRC) versus standard radical cystoprostatectomy (RC).

Material And Methods: Two hundred eight male bladder cancer patients were grouped into 98 RC followed by 43-W, 31-Y, and 23-IC in comparison to 110 PRC followed by 35-W, 37-Y, and 38-IC. The functional voiding outcomes were determined by detailed patients' interview and urodynamic studies (UDS).

Purpose: To describe our integrated pelvic fascial structure-sparing (IPFSS) technique for robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder (ONB) reconstruction and to evaluate its impact on urinary continence and sexual function in male patients.

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at a single high-volume center. Male bladder cancer patients who underwent IPFSS RARC with ONB were included.
