Mp22-08 intraoperative mri-guided navigation of the pelvic floor during classic bladder exstrophy and cloacal exstrophy closure - cutting edge technology for surgical skill education
Radical dissection of the urogenital fibers and the thickened smooth and striated muscle fibers connecting the posterior urethra and bladder plate to the diastatic pubic rami is crucial for adequate placement of the posterior vesicourethral unit deep within the pelvis during classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) and cloacal exstrophy (CE) closure, as well as ensuring successful outcomes. Intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided navigation of the pelvic floor offers a novel technique for identification of the urogenital diaphragm fibers and the thickened muscular attachments between the posterior urethra, bladder pl...

A More Focused Approach to Phosphorus Nutrition Education for the Adolescent Kidney Patient
Dietitians are accustomed to providing low-phosphorus nutrition education as a primary focus of kidney nutrition instruction for patients with chronic kidney disease. This is based on heavily researched evidence that excessive phosphorus intake leads to bone mineral disease and increased risk for cardiovascular disease in this population. Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis and occurs much earlier in adolescent patients than in the general population.

Pd16-12 switch of medical treatment in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia over 10-year follow-up
The most appropriate treatment can be targeted to each individual patient in management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We investigated switch of medical treatment in patients with LUTS according to types of medical treatment in real-world clinical practice.

Medical treatment of urinary stones
Purpose of review To identify the latest progression on medical treatment of urinary stones. Recent findings Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be the preferred analgesic option for patients presenting to the emergency department with renal colic. A-blockers could be of patient benefit when used for distal ureteral stones more than 5 mm in size. However, the quality of the randomized controlled studies on medical expulsive therapy (MET) is still low based on the Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials (CONSORT) criteria. MET should be used with caution in children and pregnant women. In patients with re...

Mp41-19 contemporary survey of endourologists' practices of assessment and medical management of stone disease
The AUA recently released its first evidence based guidelines for the medical management of stone disease. The guidelines were designed as a tool for all urologists in the management of first time and recurrent stone formers. Patients are frequently referred to sub-specialized urologists for management. We sought to assess the attitudes and practices of Endourological Society Members on the metabolic assessment of stone forming patients.

Mp41-04 consequences of non-adherence to selective medical therapy among patients with kidney stones
Rates of adherence to selective medical therapy among patients with kidney stones tend to be low. This may reduce the effectiveness of secondary prevention efforts, leading to an increased number of emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and surgical procedures for kidney stones.

Pd16-07 analysis of causes of failure of medical treatment in patients undergoing surgery for benign enlargement of prostate
Introduction: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects significant percentage of men above age of 50 years, with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) - irritative, obstructive or both. Patients with BPH in due course of time are at risk of symptom deterioration, acute urinary retention (AUR) and BPH related surgery.1,2 There are various treatment options for men with symptomatic BPH, which include active monitoring, medical therapy with alpha blockers and/or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and surgery.

Pd31-04 medical expulsive therapy, evidence from randomised trials meta-analysis
Medical Expulsive Therapy (MET) has been a matter of debate in the last decade with a number of randomised trials that varied in their outcomes from each other. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy MET to increase stone expulsion focusing on studies that were powered and have a low risk of bias.

Mp31-14 does dietary assessment aid in decision-making for medical management of hypercalciuria?
Management of hypercalciuria (=250 mg/d) to reduce stone risk may require dietary and/or medical therapy. Dietary advice is often based on 24-h urine results alone, without quantifying dietary calcium and/or other dietary factors. We quantified dietary contributors to hypercalciuria in our patients.

Mp31-02 medical expulsive therapy in pregnancy; a retrospective study.
Background: The use of medical expulsive therapy (MET) is common practice in urology for the treatment of symptomatic urolithiasis, despite its efficacy is debated. Its use in pregnancy is even more controversial because of poor safety data. Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of tamsulosin 0,4 mg once a day as a MET in pregnant women.
