Electrical stimulation versus extracorporeal magnetic innervation for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy
ABSTRACT Nurses use several conservative methods for treating urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has a recognized role, while extracorporeal magnetic innervation (ExMI) is still under evaluation in the international guidelines. Few data are available in literature, regarding comparisons between these two treatments. The aim of the study is to compare electrical stimulation and magnetic innervation for treating urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Twenty‐two patients treated with ExMI and 18 treated with FES were enrolled in a retrospective study. ExMI wa...

Intraurethral tramadol alleviates rigid cystoscopy‐related pain in men
Abstract Considering the effectiveness of tramadol in alleviating pain following major operations, trauma, labour and even chronic neuropathic pain, this study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of intraurethral administration of the drug in alleviating cystoscopy‐related pain in men. Sixty male candidates of diagnostic cystoscopy, aged between 20 and 50 years, in ASA physical status I or II were included in the study. Patients were randomized into intervention [who received tramadol (100 mg) and lidocaine gel] or control group (in whom distilled water and lidocaine was administered) based on a permuted block rand...

The challenges of implementing Enhanced Recovery Programme in urology
Abstract Enhanced Recovery Programme (ERP) or fast‐track programme involves the application of evidence‐based best practice into surgery to optimize patient recovery post‐operatively. Results have been very promising especially in complex surgical procedures, where patient length of hospital stay had been significantly reduced and there has not been a significant increase in patient complication or readmission rate. These favourable outcomes are potentially cost‐effective for the health care team and hospital trust especially in the present economic climate. Within our department, we have recently implemented ERP i...

Metastatic castrate‐resistant prostate cancer: a discussion of the physical and psychosocial effects
Management options for metastatic castrate‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have increased in recent years resulting in more men living for longer with the disease. The implications for patients and health care services are considered through an examination of the literature in relation to the physical and psychosocial effects of mCRPC and its treatment, looking at quality of life (QoL) and service delivery implications. QoL in advanced prostate cancer has been well documented in the literature but studies involving those with mCRPC are sparse. There is a lack of evidence regarding psychological distress and effective p...

A proposed theoretical model of help‐seeking among Korean‐American women with urinary incontinence
ABSTRACT There is no integrated theoretical model explaining help‐seeking for urinary incontinence (UI) that links individual factors to socio‐cultural and systemic factors among Korean‐American women. The purpose of this article was to develop a theoretical model derived from a systemic perspective to explain the help‐seeking among Korean‐American women with UI. The Behavioural Model for Vulnerable Populations derived from a systemic perspective was adapted to develop a theoretical model. Individual factors (i.e. biological risk factors, health beliefs, social structure, income, a regular source of health care a...
