Cauda Equina Syndrome and Voiding Dysfunction: Pathophysiology and Clinical Approach Under the Light of the Literature

Cauda equina syndrome is a neurological state with bilateral ischiatic pain, lower extremity weakness, and bladder and bowel dysfunction due to multiple compressive neuropathies of the lumbar and sacral nerves. Even though the relationship between cauda equina syndrome and voiding dysfunctions is a well known fact, data on the clinical management of the condition is limited. The aim of this paper is to review the pathophysiological relationship between voiding dysfunctions and cauda equina syndrome and to refresh our knowledge about the clinical approach to this group of patients.

Lumbar Disc Hernia and Erectile Dysfunction

WOS: 000289644500005Lumbosacral disc disease and sexual dysfunction are two non-lethal health entities that are common and decrease quality of life of patients. With interruption of communication between the brain and the penis, erectile dysfunction should be expected. However, there are very limited data on the interaction of lumbosacral disc disease and sexual functioning. The aim of this review is to highlight the association between lumbosacral disc disease and sexual dysfunction and to overview the diagnosis and treatment options for this subset of patients.

The efficacy and utilisation of preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: does it change the surgical dissection plan?

WOS: 000416270600014Objective: We investigated the effect of the use of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) on the dissection plan of the neurovascular bundle and the oncological results of our patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Material and methods: We prospectively evaluated 60 consecutive patients, including 30 patients who had (Group 1), and 30 patients who had not (Group 2) mp-MRI before robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Based on the findings of mp-MRI, the dissection plan was changed as intrafascial, interfascial, and extra-fascial in the mp-MRI group. Two groups were compared in terms of age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Gleason sum scores and surgical margin positivity. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, PSA, biopsy Gleason score, final pathological Gleason score and surgical margin positivity. mp-MRI changed the initial surgical plan in 18 of 30 patients (60%) in Group 1. In seventeen of these patients (56%) surgical plan was changed from non-nerve sparing to interfascial nerve sparing plan. In one patient dissection plan was changed to non-nerve sparing technique which had extraprostatic extension on final pathology. Surgical margin positivity was similar in Groups 1, and 2 (16% and 13%, respectively) although, Group 1 had higher number of high-risk patients. mp-MRI confirmed the primary tumour localisation in the final pathology in 27 of of 30 patients (90%). Conclusion: Preoperative mp-MRI effected the decision to perform a nerve-sparing technique in 56% of the patients in our study; moreover, changing the dissection plan from non-nerve-sparing technique to a nerve sparing technique did not increase the rate of surgical margin positivity
