Influence of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibition on simple renal cysts in patients receiving bevacizumab-based chemotherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrated that simple renal cysts were stable in size and number in the vast majority of cancer patients treated with bevacizumab. PMID: 26682018 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean Journal of Urology)

Multiple cores of high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and any core of atypia on first biopsy are significant predictor for cancer detection at a repeat biopsy.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with multiple cores of HGPIN or any core number of ASAP on a first biopsy had a significantly higher cancer detection rate on a second biopsy. Repeat biopsy should be considered and not be delayed in those patients. PMID: 26682019 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean Journal of Urology)

Urodynamic assessment of bladder and urethral function among men with lower urinary tract symptoms after radical prostatectomy: A comparison between men with and without urinary incontinence.
CONCLUSIONS: In our study, significant number of patients with LUTS following RP showed a reduced bladder compliance and detrusor overactivity. PPI is associated with both impairment of the urethral closuring mechanism and bladder storage dysfunction. PMID: 26682020 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean Journal of Urology)

Simultaneous treatment of anterior vaginal wall prolapse and stress urinary incontinence by using transobturator four arms polypropylene mesh.
CONCLUSIONS: The four arms polypropylene mesh is an effective device for simultaneous correction of anterior vaginal wall prolapse and SUI with a low complication rate at a medium-term follow-up. The majority of the subgroup with concomitant SUI were cured without a second simultaneous procedure. PMID: 26682021 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean Journal of Urology)

Characteristics of urinary retention in female inpatients managed with medical treatments.
CONCLUSIONS: UR in females managed with medical treatments could be occurred occasionally. We think that thorough attentions are needed for UR to patients with cardiovascular disorders including diabetes mellitus, metastatic malignancy, chronic renal disorders urinary tract infection, and more careful interests when managing with drugs with antimuscarinic effects.

Analysis of voiding dysfunction after transobturator tape procedure for stress urinary incontinence.
CONCLUSIONS: With the use of several definitions of VD after the midurethral sling procedure, postoperative peak flow rate and PVR were significantly different between groups. Although there were no independent risk factors consistent with various definitions of VD, preoperative obstructive voiding symptoms and objective parameters suggesting impaired detrusor tend to have predictive power for post-TOT VD.

Semen parameters from 2002 to 2013 in Korea young population: A preliminary report.
CONCLUSIONS: There were no significant changes in the semen parameters of Korean men from 2002 to 2013. In addition, semen volume, motility, and morphology showed higher negative correlation coefficients with age from 2002 to 2013, serially.

Noxious electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor and vagina induces transient voiding dysfunction in a rabbit survival model of pelvic floor dystonia.
CONCLUSIONS: In a majority of animals, tetanizing electrical stimulation of the rabbit pelvic floor resulted in voiding changes suggestive of pelvic floor dysfunction as characterized by a larger bladder capacity, longer interval between contractions and prolonged contraction duration.

Long-term oncologic outcomes of postoperative adjuvant versus salvage radiotherapy in prostate cancer: Systemic review and meta-analysis of 5-year and 10-year follow-up data.
CONCLUSIONS: ART showed favorable results in BCR-free survival during the 5-year follow-up period. However, the 10-year progression-free survival and overall survival did not show any difference between ART and SRT. PMID: 26568790 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean Journal of Urology)

Predictive factors of prolonged warm ischemic time (≥30 minutes) during partial nephrectomy under pneumoperitoneum.
CONCLUSIONS: Surgeon experience, tumor size, and PADUA score predicted prolonged WIT after RPN or LPN. Among these factors, increasing surgical experience with LPN or RPN is the most important factor for preventing prolonged WIT. PMID: 26568791 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean Journal of Urology)

Predictive value of pretreatment inflammation-based prognostic scores (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio) for invasive bladder carcinoma.
CONCLUSIONS: NLR may provide a simple, cost-effective and easily measured marker for MIBC. It can be performed at the time of diagnostic flexible cystoscopy, thereby assisting in the planning of further treatment. PMID: 26568792 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Korean Journal of Urology)
