Journal ArticleDOI
Summary of European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines on Neuro-Urology
Jan Groen,Jürgen Pannek,David Castro Diaz,Giulio Del Popolo,Tobias Gross,Rizwan Hamid,Gilles Karsenty,Thomas M. Kessler,Marc P. Schneider,Lisette A. ‘t Hoen,Bertil F.M. Blok +10 more
TL;DR: The update of the EAU Guidelines on Neuro-Urology enables caregivers to provide optimal support to neuro-urological patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twenty Years Experience With an Ileal Orthotopic Low Pressure Bladder Substitute—Lessons to be Learned
Urs E. Studer,Fiona C. Burkhard,Martin Schumacher,Thomas M. Kessler,Harriet C. Thoeny,Achim Fleischmann,George N. Thalmann +6 more
TL;DR: Ileal orthotopic bladder substitution combined with an afferent ileal tubular segment allows for good long-term functional results provided patients are restrictively selected, postoperative instructions are followed carefully, and typical complications such as outlet obstruction and hernias are treated early.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower urinary tract dysfunction in the neurological patient: clinical assessment and management
TL;DR: An individualised, patient-tailored approach is required for the management of LUT dysfunction associated with neurological disorders, and neuromodulation offers promise for managing both storage and voiding dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nerve Sparing Open Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy—Does It Have an Impact on Urinary Continence?
Fiona C. Burkhard,Thomas M. Kessler,Achim Fleischmann,George N. Thalmann,Martin Schumacher,Urs E. Studer +5 more
TL;DR: The incidence of incontinence after open radical retropubic prostatectomy is low and continence is highly associated with a nerve sparing technique, therefore, nerve sparing should be attempted in all patients if the principles of oncological surgery are not compromised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of prostatic artery embolisation (PAE) versus transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia: randomised, open label, non-inferiority trial.
Dominik Abt,Lukas Hechelhammer,Gautier Müllhaupt,Stefan Markart,Sabine Güsewell,Thomas M. Kessler,Hans-Peter Schmid,Daniel S. Engeler,Livio Mordasini +8 more
TL;DR: The improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia seen 12 weeks after PAE is close to that after TURP, which is associated with fewer complications but has disadvantages regarding functional outcomes.
