“…Pharmacological treatment may also be considered (antimuscarinic and ß3-agonists) for symptoms control. Other lines of treatment include intra-detrusor injection of botulin toxin neuro-stimulation (vaginal electro-stimulation, anterior tibial electro-stimulation or neuromodulation) and exceptionally bladder augmentation enterocystoplasty ( 5 , 6 , 16 , 17 , 20 , 21 ).…”

Urinary incontinence is a common problem among women and it is estimated that between 15 and 55% of them complain of lower urinary symptoms. The most prevalent form of urinary incontinence is associated with stress, followed by mixed urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence. It is a symptom with several effects on quality of life of women mainly in their social, familiar and sexual domains. Female reproductive and urinary systems share anatomical structures, which promotes that urinary problems interfere with sexual function in females.This article is a review of both the concepts of female urinary incontinence and its impact on global and sexual quality of life. Nowadays, it is assumed that urinary incontinence, especially urge urinary incontinence, promotes anxiety and several self-esteem damages in women. The odour and the fear of incontinence during sexual intercourse affect female sexual function and this is related with the unpredictability and the chronicity of incontinence, namely urge urinary incontinence.Female urinary incontinence management involves conservative (pelvic floor muscle training), surgical and pharmacological treatment. Both conservative and surgical treatments have been studied about its benefit in urinary incontinence and also the impact among female sexual function. Unfortunately, there are sparse articles that evaluate the benefits of female sexual function with drug management of incontinence.

“…The author attributes fistula development to extensive dissection near the right external iliac arteries and liberal use of electrocautery. 3 In our series, both fistulas were left sided and the ureteroileal anastomosis was situated in proximity to the left common iliac artery. Similarly, Van den Bergh and colleagues reviewed 139 UAFs and found that in patients undergoing urinary diversion, 63% of fistulas involved the left ureter and iliac artery; however, time to fistula development was not reported.…”

Ureteroarterial Fistulas After Robotic and Open Radical Cystectomy

Ureteroarterial fistulas (UAFs) are defined as an abnormal communication between one of the major arteries and the ureter. Urologists most frequently encounter iatrogenic fistulas occurring in patients with a history of pelvic extirpative surgery, chronic ureteral catheterization, and history of pelvic radiation. We present two cases of UAFs in patients with no history of prior radiation, who underwent open radical cystectomy and robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal conduit. Both patients developed postoperative ureteroileal anastomotic leaks that were managed with indwelling ureteral catheters. Furthermore, both patients were having left-sided UAF after presenting with nonlife threatening gross hematuria, which became brisk and pulsatile during ureteral stent exchange. Endovascular stenting was performed in both patients with resolution of hemorrhage and full recovery. In one patient, nephrostomy tubes were placed and ureteral catheters were removed; the second patient was managed with continued ureteral catheterization without further episodes of hematuria.
