Abstract

Objective: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a chronic medical condition that has a tremendous impact on the quality of life for both men and women. Urgency is a primary symptom in diagnosing OAB and is closely related to the urge to urinate frequently during the day. Material & Methods : A retrospective study was conducted from January 2018 until December 2020 by using medical records database in our institution. There were 562 patients. Inclusion criteria used in this study are patients with OAB symptoms with any etiology who have undergone conservative, moderate, or future or postoperative measures in the study period. The patient who cannot be cooperative in filling out the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire or the patient who refuses were excluded from this study. Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and linear regression. Results: From the results, linear regression, obtained significance (p <0.05) on the variables of frequency, urgency and nocturia. A linear regression value of y= -0.005 + 0.987X was obtained which illustrates that the higher the frequency, urgency and nocturia variables, the higher the possibility of Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that can be correlated with OAB. Conclusion: Frequency, nocturia, and urgency are factors that influence the significance of the IPSS variable on the total IPSS score. Questionnaire items on overactive bladder symptoms score (OABSS) have a significant correlation with IPSS scores.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation of testicular tumor markers on the success of chemotherapy in my institution. Material & Methods: This research is a retrospective study single center using the medical record database at the span of the research period. The patient with testicular carcinoma who underwent complete chemotherapy between 2017 until 2022 was included. The data collected and analyzed by descriptive data and analytical correlation using SPSS Ver. 25. The comparation test using T-test and Anova. Results: A total of 31 testicular cancer patients were enrolled in the study. Fifteen patients were seminoma and 16 patients were non-seminoma. The mean age of patient at presentation of seminoma and non seminoma were 38.3 ± 17.03 and 30.74 ± 13.01. Most patients presented a karnofsky score about 79 ± 15. There was a negative correlation (r=-0.492) with a significant correlation between the types of testicular carcinoma cases and the response to chemotherapy (p=0.027). There was a significant difference in cases of seminoma and non-seminoma to the success of the chemotherapy response (p=0.024). There was a positive correlation between serum β-HCG, AFP, LDH with serial chemotherapy result with a no significant correlation (p=0.879; p=0.242; and p=0.277). Conclusion: Most types of the testicular carcinoma responses to chemotherapy. Patients with seminoma pathology have better response to chemotherapy compared to non-seminoma.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the surgical outcomes in secondary hypospadias patients over 10 years in a tertiary care center. Material & Methods: From January 2010 – December 2019, 68 patients with secondary hypospadias were managed in our department. The age at surgery, location of meatus at presentation, associated chordee, meatal stenosis, and fistula were noted. Techniques used for correction and postoperative complications with overall success rate were studied. Primary hypospadias cases (n=303) were excluded from this study. Results: Age varied from 6 months to 32 years (mean - 11.06 years). The most common presentation was dehiscence of repair with resultant hypospadias (n=43) and their meatal position was distal 44.1% (n=30) followed by middle in 14.7 % (n=10) & proximal in 4.4% (n=3) patients after orthoplasty. Chordee was present in 67.64% (n=46) cases. (<30o in 50%, n=34; 30-600 in 14.7%, n=10; >60o in 2.9%, n=2). Also, 17.6% (n=12) patients had urethrocutaneous fistula(UCF) and 19.1% (n=13) patients had meatal stenosis. Urethral closure was done using tubularized incise plate (TIP) alone in 4.4% (n=3) cases, TIP and spongioplasty in 48.5% (n=33) cases. The urethral plate was augmented (Snodgraft) in 26 cases (inner prepuce, n=5 and BMG, n=21). Urethral reconstruction was staged in 10.3% (n=7) cases. Meatoplasty was done in 19.1 (n=13) cases and fistula closure was done in 17.6% (n=12) cases. The success rate in secondary cases was 79.2% in our series. Fourteen patients required revision surgeries of which 7 had UCF (Fistula repair), meatal stenosis (n=1, meatoplasty), Glanular dehiscence (n=5, Glanuloplasty and Meatoplasty), stricture (n=1, urethroplasty). Conclusion: Hypospadias surgery in secondary cases is difficult owing to fibrosis, loss of local tissue, and difficult dissection. Glanular dehiscence was most common followed by fistula in our series. We also reported the effectiveness of buffering layers and urethral augmentation in secondary cases but without statistical significance. Keywords: Secondary hypospadias, urethrocutaneous fistula, chordee.

Abstract

Objective: This study assessed the impact of a fixed-dose combination 5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) dutasteride 0.5 mg and the α-blocker (AB) tamsulosin 0.4 mg on erectile dysfunction (ED) using The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score and Erectile Hard Score (EHS) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Material & Methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional with consecutive sampling. We reviewed the medical records of the symptomatic BPH patients. Then we interviewed The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Quality of Life (QOL), IIEF-5, and EHS scores after administered combination therapy. The data were analyzed with SPSS IBM 21.0 using univariate and then bivariate analysis. Results: Forty (40) patients fulfilled inclusion criteria. The results showed that the frequency of patients at most in the age range of 50-59 years (40%), most of IPSS after therapy showed mild grade 45%, and moderate grade 55%. The QOL average score is 2.08, most of the patients felt pleased (35%). IIEF-5 average score after treatment is 11.6 (moderate ED) and the EHS is 2.48 (grade 2: tumescence with minimal rigidity). The Spearman test showed that there was no correlation between IPSS and IIEF-5, the score is -0.658. Then, the Spearman correlation score between BPH grade after combination treatment and ED grade is 0.739 and had a statistically significant 0.000 (p<0.001). Conclusion: This research shows that there is a correlation of the impact of tamsulosin/ dutasteride combination therapy on ED in BPH with secondary LUTS. Keywords: BPH, erectile dysfunction, tamsulosin/dutasteride combination.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the characteristics of androgen receptors (AR), estrogen receptor 1 (ER1) and estrogen receptor 2 (ER2) expression in dartos tissue of patients with congenital hypospadias, compared to normal penis. Material & Methods: We harvested 63 dartos tissue consisting of 53 congenital hypospadias that underwent urethroplasty (20 distal and 33 proximal) and 10 normal penis that underwent circumcision as controls from September 2017 to September 2018. The expressions of AR, ER1, and ER2 were measured using Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR). All data were analyzed by Prism 7, and one-way ANOVA tests were used to compare gene expressions between the groups. Results: The mean age was 68.99 (± 45.5) and 65.6 (± 25.8) months in boys with and without hypospadias, respectively. The expression of mRNA AR was decreased in proximal (6.26 ± 2.30) and distal hypospadias (6.43 ± 2.22) compared to controls (9.69 ± 1.10), which were statistically significant (p=0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). We found a statistically significant difference of ER1 expression compared to controls (p=0.0064). The expression of ER2 was significantly increased in distal (21.03 ± 5.00) and proximal hypospadias (25.21 ± 8.06) groups compared to controls (11.80 ± 2.49) (p<0.0001). There was no statistically significant mean difference in mRNA ER1 expression (p=0.65). Conclusion: The repressed AR and elevated ER mRNA as shown in our study may suggest that defects in those receptors’ interaction and/or balance may contribute to hypospadias and penile curvature condition. Further studies are needed to evaluate any gene-related problems in hypospadias. Keywords: Hypospadias, androgen receptor, estrogen receptor, dartos tissue.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to present a case of Verruciform Xanthoma (VX) on penile shaft. Case(s) Presentation: A 60 years old man was admitted to our hospital with a large sized (8cm) cauliflower like tumor on his penile shaft which started to appear 2 years prior to hospital admission. The tumor was continuously getting bigger during that period. The man did not feel any other signs and symptoms. Incision biopsy sample was taken and the histopathologic result was Verruciform Xanthoma. Then the patient took excision circumcision surgery. Discussion: Penile VX is a benign, asymptomatic, warty lesion that can occur in penile shaft, glans, coronal sulcus, and preputium. Its pathological mechanism is still unclear but the most accepted theories are mucocutaneous reaction to localized trauma and chronic inflammation. Due to its atypical appearance, it can be mistaken as other lesion, even a malignant one. Histopathological examination must be done to confirm diagnosis, and to plan the right treatment. We conduct excision and circumcision to compensate a wide skin loss and achieved satisfactory result. Conclusion: Penile VX can be mistaken as a malignant lesion, thus histopathological examination must be done to avoid over radical treatment. Excision and circumcision surgery for large sized penile VX achieve satisfactory result. Keywords: Penile, verruciform xanthoma, tumor.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to report a case of a 51 year old male who was referred to our Department of Urology and was diagnosed with a nonfunctioning giant ACC. Case(s) Presentation: The case report describes a 51-year-old Indonesian man who presented to our department with complaints of persistent upper left abdomen discomfort, previously misdiagnosed as dyspepsia. He was diagnosed as having non-functioning adrenocortical carcinoma and underwent open adrenalectomy. Discussion: Although the patient is 51 years old and the tumor has grown to a signify cant size, no lymph node involvement or metastases was found and resection margins were found to be negative. In our patient, functional adrenal work-up results were normal. This has led us to suspect a non-functioning adrenal tumor. Metastatic work-up with CT cranial, chest, and bone survey were performed, with negative result. The biopsy result after resection confirmed the diagnosis of ACC. Conclusion: ACC is a rare aggressive tumor, malignant with poor prognosis. In our case, the non-secretory mass was diagnosed late by manifestation of mass effect symptoms in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen and was previously misdiagnosed as symptoms of dyspepsia. The functional work-up of adrenal masses helped in the determination of its non-functional status. Early diagnosis of ACC and early surgical excision helps in improving the overall survival rate of the patient. Keywords: Non-functioning, adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), adrenalectomy, case report.

Abstract

Objective: To report our experience in treating a case of Testicular non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Case(s) Presentation: A 55-year-old man came to the urology outpatient clinic with complaints of an enlarged left painless testicle that was lumpy and heavy. Urological examination found left unilateral testicle enlargement testicle, the size measured 10x7x7 cm with firm borders, solid consistency, and no tenderness. The patient then was treated with left orchiectomy. Histology and Immunohistochemical examination found non-Hodgkin B cells (CD20+) high grade, non-GCB. Discussion: In this case, the patient was treated with orchiectomy followed by a CHOP chemotherapy regimen. However, there was an unusual presentation due to the suspicion of metastases through the findings of a tender lump in the left inguinal region which was further confirmed by histological and immunohistochemical examination. Conclusion: Primary testicular lymphoma with a subtype of DLBCL (Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma) is a rare disease. Orchiectomy is the initial treatment option for Testicular non-Hodgkin Lymphoma followed by combination therapy of chemotherapy to improve the prognosis. Keywords: Orchiectomy, testicular lymphoma, testicular tumors.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate medical resident and clerkship preferences for a variety of available Smart e-Learning options to better cope with this global pandemic. Material & Methods: This cross-sectional study using a web-based national survey was conducted between the 10th-20th of June 2020. As many as 91 of 200 (45.5% response rate) residents and clerks, who were randomly invited, responded to the survey and rated the available modalities for Smart e-Learning. Results: Generally, respondents choose morning scientific online meetings (rated 7.61/10), webinars on case discussion (7.58/10), and pre-recorded tips and tricks on surgery (7.32/10) as their favorite modalities of Smart e-Learning. Conclusion: Scientific meetings among faculty and video based learning are both equally favorite modalities of Smart e-Learning during this pandemic. Meanwhile, morning reports are the least favorite due to the majority of cases are emergency cases that lack interactive discussion. This study may provide more insights for medical faculties into how to better cope with this pandemic and continue to deliver high quality education in the ‘New Normal’ Era using Smart e-Learning options. Keywords: e-Learning, resident, clerkship, New Normal Era.
