    Introduction: To assess the framework of Multidisciplinary Neuro-Urologic Meeting (MNUM) after 5 years of experience. The quality criterion was the concordance to national and International Guidelines. The secondary objective was to assess participants’ satisfaction, and thus the added value brought by health professionals involved in neuro-urology. Finally, to analyze and propose concrete changes including a formal operational charter. Material and method: Urologists, neurologists and physiatrists participate to the MNUM, in order to offer a personalized and adequate care for each patient. A scientific basis was done by a comprehensive research of neurourology references from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane and Google Scholar. A satisfaction questionnaire was developed and diffused using Google Forms. A positive advisory opinion from a medical ethics committee was obtained on the 04.19.2016 (CECIC RhĂŽne-Alpes Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, IRB 5891). Results: Between March 2011 and December 2015, 179 cases were presented in 20 meetings. Decisions were consistent with guidelines in 69.9 % of cases. Over the 5 years, 92.4 % of operated patients were followed up by an urologist. Surgical and medical decisions are influenced by the specialist who presents the medical record (p = 0.046 and p = 0.004, respectively). On average, 12 cases per meeting were presented. The average number of participants per meeting was 10. The overall rate of achievement of decisions was 85.5 %, with an evolution of 10.5% over the 5 years. The French baselines are very extensive in recommendations according to the type of pathology and have an own specificity with the guardianship of the AFU. A quorum composed of 2 physiatrists, 2 urologists, and 2 neurologists was achieved in 20 % of the meetings. A strong interest in this MNUM was reported for 66.6 % of participants. Conclusion: This synthesis of improvement outlook is the first conducted in our center, and in the field of neurourology to our knowledge. This MNUM will formalize and ensure a consensual care for patients with chronic diseases, such as neurogenic bladder.Introduction : Évaluer le dispositif de RĂ©union de Concertation Pluridisciplinaire de Neuro-Urologie (RCPNU) aprĂšs 5 annĂ©es d’expĂ©rience. Le critĂšre de qualitĂ© Ă©tait la concordance aux rĂ©fĂ©rentiels nationaux et internationaux. L’objectif secondaire Ă©tait d’évaluer la satisfaction des participants, et donc la plus-value apportĂ©e pour les professionnels de santĂ© impliquĂ©s en neuro-urologie. Enfin, analyser et proposer des Ă©volutions concrĂštes avec notamment une charte formelle de fonctionnement. MatĂ©riel et mĂ©thode : Chirurgiens urologues, mĂ©decins spĂ©cialisĂ©s en mĂ©decine physique et de rĂ©adaptation (MPR) et neurologues participent aux RCPNU, afin de proposer une prise en charge personnalisĂ©e et adĂ©quate pour chaque patient. Une assise scientifique a Ă©tĂ© faite par une recherche exhaustive des rĂ©fĂ©rentiels de neuro-urologie Ă  partir de PubMed, Embase, Cochrane et Google Scholar. Un questionnaire de satisfaction a Ă©tĂ© Ă©laborĂ© puis diffusĂ© via Google Forms. Un avis Ă©thique consultatif favorable a Ă©tĂ© obtenu le 19/04/2016 (CECIC RhĂŽne-Alpes Auvergne, Clermont-Ferrand, IRB 5891). RĂ©sultats : Entre mars 2011 et dĂ©cembre 2015, 179 dossiers ont Ă©tĂ© traitĂ©s sur 20 rĂ©unions. Les dĂ©cisions prises Ă©taient conformes aux recommandations dans 69,9% des cas. Sur les 5 ans, 92,4% des patients opĂ©rĂ©s ont fait l’objet d’un suivi par un urologue. Les dĂ©cisions chirurgicales et mĂ©dicales sont influencĂ©es par le spĂ©cialiste qui prĂ©sente le dossier (p=0,046 et p=0,004 respectivement). En moyenne, 12 dossiers par rĂ©union Ă©taient prĂ©sentĂ©s. Le nombre moyen de participants par rĂ©union Ă©tait de 10. Un taux global de rĂ©alisation des dĂ©cisions prises Ă©tait de 85,5 % avec une Ă©volution de 10,5% sur les 5 ans. Les rĂ©fĂ©rentiels français sont trĂšs fournis en recommandations par type de pathologie et prĂ©sentent une spĂ©cificitĂ© propre avec la tutelle de l’AFU. Un Quorum composĂ© de 2 MPR, 2 urologues, et de 2 neurologues Ă©tait atteint dans 20% des rĂ©unions. Un intĂ©rĂȘt fort pour cette RCPNU Ă©tait dĂ©clarĂ© pour 66,6% des participants. Conclusion : Cette synthĂšse des perspectives d’amĂ©lioration est le premier rĂ©alisĂ© dans notre centre et dans le domaine de la neuro-urologie Ă  notre connaissance. Cette RCPNU permet de formaliser et de garantir une prise en charge consensuelle pour les patients atteints de maladie chronique, comme les vessies neurologiques

    Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Management of Splenogonadal Fusion: A Literature Review

    No full text
    Introduction. Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly, defined by the presence of ectopic splenic tissue caused by an abnormal connection between the spleen and the gonad or mesonephrotic derivatives during the embryonic period. Materials and Methods. By reporting an observational case and performing a review of the literature according to the CARE guidelines (using the PubMed database and guidelines from urology, general surgery, and pediatric learned societies), we present the embryological genesis of the splenogonadal fusion, the associated anatomical anomalies, and the diagnostic procedure. Observation. We report the case of a patient aged 45, with no notable history, reporting left testicular pain. A small nodule on the upper pole of the left testicular was clinically palpable. Tumor markers were normal, and scrotal ultrasound depicted a hypoechoic hypervascular nodule measuring 8∗6∗8 mm. After validation in a multidisciplinary oncology consultation meeting and opinion from a uro-andrologist expert, the patient underwent an inguinal lumpectomy with an extemporaneous examination which did not objectify any signs of malignancy. Ultimately, it is a normal spleen tissue in the testicular ectopic position. Discussion. Splenogonadal fusion corresponds to a rare congenital malformation; less than 200 cases have been published in the literature, most often affecting boys, with a sex ratio of 15/1. Two types are described, depending on the continuity of the link between the orthotopic spleen and the gonad: the continuous and discontinuous forms. In a third of the cases, there are associated congenital malformations and particularly in the continuous forms (44 to 50% of the cases): anomalies of the limbs, micrognathia, microgyria, and hepatic and digestive abnormalities. Cryptorchidism is associated with the continuous form in 31% of cases. The preoperative diagnosis remains difficult because of its morphological and clinical characteristics suggesting a tumor process

    International audienceIntroductionPeyronie's disease is a common cause for consultation in urology. Many controversies surround its treatment. No French Guidelines have been published so far. The Committee of Andrology and Sexual Medicine of the French Association of Urology therefore offers a series of evidence-based recommendations.Materials and methodsThese recommendations are made according to the ADAPTE method, based on European (EAU, ESSM), American (AUA, ISSM) and Canadian (CAU) recommendations, integrating French specificities due to the availability of treatments, and an update of the recent bibliography.ResultsThe assessment of the disease is clinical. Patients with functional impairment or significant psychological repercussions may be offered treatment. The benefits and drawbacks of each treatment should be explained to the patient. Regarding non-surgical treatments, no available treatment has market authorization in France. Vitamin E is not recommended. Analgesic (oral or low-intensity shock waves) or proerectile treatments may be offered as needed, as well as traction therapy. Due to the unavailability of collagenase injections, verapamil injections may be offered. Surgical treatments are to be considered in the stabilized phase of the disease, and consist of performing a plication, an incision-graft or the placement of a penile implant according to the patient's wishes, the curvature and the penis size, as well as erectile function. Combination treatments can be offered.ConclusionThe management of Peyronie's disease is complex, and the levels of evidence for treatments are generally low. The success of treatment will depend on the quality of the initial assessment, the patient's information and understanding of the expected effects, and the practitioner's experience.IntroductionLa maladie de Lapeyronie est un motif frĂ©quent de consultation en urologie, dont le traitement reste sujet Ă  de nombreuses controverses. Elle n’a fait l’objet d’aucune recommandation française jusqu’à prĂ©sent. Le ComitĂ© d’Andrologie et de MĂ©decine Sexuelle de l’Association Française d’Urologie propose donc une sĂ©rie de recommandations basĂ©es sur les preuves.MatĂ©riels et mĂ©thodesCes recommandations sont rĂ©alisĂ©es selon la mĂ©thode ADAPTE, en se basant sur les recommandations europĂ©ennes (EAU, ESSM), amĂ©ricaines (AUA, ISSM) et canadiennes (CAU), en intĂ©grant les spĂ©cificitĂ©s françaises en raison de la disponibilitĂ© des traitements, et une mise Ă  jour de la bibliographie rĂ©cente.RĂ©sultatsL’évaluation de la maladie est clinique. Les patients prĂ©sentant une gĂȘne fonctionnelle ou un retentissement psychologique important peuvent se voir proposer un traitement. Les bĂ©nĂ©fices et inconvĂ©nients de chaque traitement devront ĂȘtre explicitĂ©s au patient. Concernant les traitements non chirurgicaux, aucun traitement disponible n’a l’autorisation de mise sur le marchĂ© en France. La vitamine E n’est pas recommandĂ©e. Des traitements Ă  visĂ©e antalgiques (oraux ou ondes de choc de faible intensitĂ©) ou pro-Ă©rectiles peuvent ĂȘtre proposĂ©e selon le besoin, ainsi qu’une thĂ©rapie par traction. En raison de l’indisponibilitĂ© des injections de collagĂ©nase, les injections de vĂ©rapamil peuvent ĂȘtre proposĂ©es. Les traitements chirurgicaux sont Ă  considĂ©rer en phase stabilisĂ©e de la maladie, et consistent en la rĂ©alisation d’une plicature, d’une incision-greffe ou de la pose d’un implant pĂ©nien en fonction du souhait du patient, de la courbure et de la taille de verge, ainsi que de la fonction Ă©rectile. Des traitements combinĂ©s peuvent ĂȘtre proposĂ©s.ConclusionLa prise en charge de la maladie de Lapeyronie est complexe, et les niveaux de preuve des traitements sont faibles dans l’ensemble. Le succĂšs du traitement dĂ©pendra de la qualitĂ© de l’évaluation initiale, de l’information du patient et de sa comprĂ©hension des effets attendus, et de l’expĂ©rience du praticien
