Dorsal vein rupture of the penis is a rare condition, and few cases have been reported in the literature. Herein we report a 41-year-old man who presented with mildly painful and acute swollen penis, which initially imitated a penile fracture but was surgically explored and shown to be a superficial dorsal vein rupture.
Objective:We aimed to evaluate functional and urodynamic outcomes together with the influence of body mass index (BMI) on the voiding patterns of patients with Studer type orthotopic ileal neobladder.
Material and methods:Between 2000 and 2008, out of 61 patients who underwent a Studer type orthotopic ileal neobladder construction following radical cystoprostatectomy 18 patients who were regularly followed without local recurrence or distant métastases were enrolled in the study to evaluate the functional results and urodynamic characteristics of the neobladder. Results: Maximum pouch capacity, compliance, maximum flow rate and mean residual urine volume were 320.5±64.8 mL, 35.6±23.3 mL/cmHjO, 14.1±6.5 mL/ sec, and 63.3±40.4 mL, respectively. The nighttime and daytime incontinence rates were 44.4% and 16.6%. No significant correlation was found between daytime and nighttime continence rates or between the capacity and compliance of the neobladder and BMI. However, stress incontinence rate was statistically higher in patients with high BMI values (p=0.04).
Conclusion:Despite the more frequent occurrence of stress urinary incontinence, orthotopic urinary diversions with successful functional outcomes and continence rates can be achieved in patients with high BMI values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
