Pathophysiology orientated therapy of the aging bladder
2004
Aging is associated with changes of organ systems including skin, bone metabolism and the muscoloskeletal, endocrine, cardiovascular, and genitourinary systems .

However, there are also sex related differences in lower urinary tract symptoms [LUTS) such as bladder outlet obstruction in men (due to agerelated prostate growth) and gonadal insufficiency, multiparity, cystocele or enterocele in women. In addition to the common occurrence of LUTS in elderly people, comorbidity increases with age,…
Chronic Prostatitis Syndrome: A Common, but Poorly Understood Condition. Part I
2007
Abstract Chronic Prostatitis Syndrome (CPS) is a frequent disease. Before the PSA era, data from various sources showed that there were more outpatient visits for CPS than for BPH or prostate cancer.

The classification proposed by the National Institutes of Health is widely adopted. The disease is described as “Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome” and considers four categories. Category III includes Chronic Inflammatory Prostatitis and Prostatodynia. Universally accepted guidelines for diagnostic work-up are not ava…

2021
Cilj: Cilj ovoga rada je prikazati pacijenta s intersticijskim cistitisom u kojega je došlo do stvaranja kamenaca u novoformiranom urinskom spremniku. Prikaz slučaja: Pacijent star 48 godina obrađivan je zbog recidivnih infekcija mokraćnog sustava. Prethodno mu je zbog intersticijskog cistitisa, koji je znatno utjecao na njegovu kvalitetu života, učinjena cistektomija uz oblikovanje urinskog spremnika (Mainz-pouch I). Urološkom obradom pronađena su u području urinskoga spremnika dva velika kamenca dimenzija 77 × 74 mm te 76 × 62 mm uz obostranu hidronefrozu. Kako bi se riješio uzrok rekurentnih urinarnih infekcija, učinjena mu je otvorenim pristupom ekstrakcija oba kamenca. Poslijeoperacijs…
