Article Abstract
Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of bladder outlet surgery in patients with detrusor underactivity (DU) and to identify factors associated with successful outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of men diagnosed with DU in urodynamic studies who underwent bladder outlet surgery for lower urinary tract symptoms between May 2018 and April 2023. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire, uroflowmetry (UFM), and multichannel urodynamic studies were administered. Successful treatment outcomes were defined as either an IPSS improvement of at least 50% or the regaining of spontaneous voiding in patients urethral catheterization prior to surgery.
Results: The study included 93 male patients. Men diagnosed with significant or equivocal bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) experienced significant postoperative improvements in IPSS (from 20.6 to 6.0 and from 17.4 to 6.5, respectively), maximum urine flow rate (from 5.0 mL/sec to 14.4 mL/sec and from 8.8 mL/sec to 12.2 mL/sec, respectively) and voiding efficiency (from 48.8% to 86.0% and from 61.2% to 85.1%, respectively). However, in the group without obstruction, the improvements in IPSS and UFM results were not significant. The presence of detrusor overactivity (odds ratio [OR], 3.152; P=0.025) and preoperative urinary catheterization (OR, 2.756; P=0.040) were associated with favorable treatment outcomes. Conversely, an unobstructed bladder outlet was identified as a negative prognostic factor.
Conclusion: In men with DU accompanied by equivocal or significant BOO, surgical intervention to alleviate the obstruction may enhance the IPSS, quality of life, and UFM results. However, those with DU and an unobstructed bladder outlet face a comparatively high risk of treatment failure. Preoperative detrusor overactivity and urinary catheterization are associated with more favorable surgical outcomes. Consequently, active deobstructive surgery should be considered for patients with DU who are experiencing urinary retention.

Introduction: Although rare, incontinent diversions still has a place in the management of challenging conditions. Ureterocutaneostomy (in refluxing or non-refluxing moieties) is a viable option for relief of obstruction. It can be performed open or laaproscopically.

Purpose: To characterize the learning process by comparing the clinical outcomes and learning curves of prostatic urethral lift (PUL) performed by experienced versus naïve urologists.
Methods: Consecutive patients treated with PUL at a tertiary center by an experienced urologist with > 100 PUL cases or by naïve urologists with no prior PUL experience were included in this study. Perioperative parameters, functional outcomes, complications, and retreatment rates were compared.

Purpose: Changes in bladder contractility due to aging are among the important causes of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in elderly males. The purpose of this study was to observe changes in bladder contractility due to aging in male patients taking medications commonly used to treat LUTS in clinical practice.
Materials And Methods: Male patients aged over 40 years who underwent urodynamic studies for LUTS from January 2012 to December 2024 were included.
Research on the auxiliary diagnosis of male neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction based on a deep-learning algorithm.

Background: The diagnosis of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is complicated and often misdiagnosed by inexperienced physicians. Therefore, we used deep-learning algorithm models combined with video urodynamics to aid in the diagnosis of male NLUTD patients and construct an automated diagnosis and treatment process for such patients.
Methods: The urodynamic data from two cohorts of patients in our center with NLUTD were used: (1) A total of 284 male patients with NLUTD from 2009 to 2019 were used for model training and validation optimization; and (2) A cohort of 100 male patients with NLUTD from 2020 to 2021 were used for model testing.
