We often form intentions to resist anticipated future temptations. But when confronted with the temptations our resolutions were designed withstand, we tend revise previous evaluative judgments and conclude that should now succumb—only then revert initial evaluations, once temptation has subsided. Some made under sway of are mistaken. not all them are. When belief one succumb is a proper respon...

The pelvic floor functions as a holistic entity. organs, bladder, bowel, smooth and striated muscles, nerves, ligaments other connective tissues are directed cortically reflexly from various levels of the nervous system. Such integration is essential for system’s multiple functions, example, girdle stability, continence, voiding/defecation, sexuality. Pelvic dysfunction (PFD) related to variety...

Continent catheterizable channels have revolutionized reconstructive surgery to achieve both urinary and fecal continence. The Mitrofanoff and Malone antegrade continent catheterizable channels offer improved quality of life relative to permanent incontinent stomas. A frequently employed surgical option for creating a Mitrofanoff when an existing appendicocecostomy exists involves harvesting a ...

OBJECTIVE We developed an experimental ex-vivo model to define factors that may influence continence of catheterizable channels by urinary and colonic stomas based on the principle of imbrication of the outlet tube. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 20 pigs, colon specimens with 25 cm length were obtained and a transverse flap with 3.0 cm length x 1.5 cm width in the average point of the intestine w...

OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy (LRP) is technically a very demanding procedure and potentially even more challenging in patients with previous transurethral resection (TURP). This study evaluates the impact of previous TURP on the short-term functional outcome of patients undergoing extraperitoneal LRP. METHODS Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected database, com...
