In today's VETgirl podcast, we talk with Dr. Lisa Powell, DVM, DACVECC, Manager, Telehealth and ER Engagement at BluePearl Veterinary Partners and Dr. Jessica Kerley about their study entitled "Retrospective evaluation of the incidence of presumed feline urethral obstruction during a prepandemic year compared to a pandemic year." During the COVID-19 pandemic, pet owners were working from home... and we were swamped in the veterinary clinic and ER! Was there a true increased incidence of feline urethral obstruction (UO) in male cats during this time period? (Let's admit it - cats were likely stressed from having their human pet parents home 24-7!). Or was this just due to the increased number of overall emergency feline cases seen in the veterinary clinic? Tune in to learn more!

Welcome to "While You Wait...". In this episode, we're embarking on an informative journey to uncover the myriad treatments for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).SUI is a common condition affecting around 50% of adult women. It can be frustrating when everyday activities like coughing, sneezing, or laughing trigger abdominal pressure, leading to unexpected urine leakage.Our systematic exploration of treatments begins with containment products, including specialized incontinence pads and eco-friendly options like Attention Grace.Specialized incontinence underwear designed for reuse also plays a role in this journey, effectively concealing mild to moderate leakage.Pelvic floor strengthening is a crucial avenue to explore. Pelvic floor physical therapy provides personalized exercises and valuable in-person or virtual guidance.Various tools like vaginal weights, muscle measurement devices, and specialized exercise wear are available for independent pelvic floor strengthening. Weight loss, backed by studies showing a 70% improvement in SUI after losing 8% of body weight, is a noteworthy consideration.Moving forward, we discover pessaries. Impressa, an over-the-counter option with multiple sizes, offers a disposable solution. Healthcare providers can also provide silicone or reusable pessaries, effectively improving SUI in 50-80% of women.Urethral bulking procedures represent the next stage of our journey, involving substance injections to reinforce the urethra, enhancing urine retention. Finally, we explore sling procedure quests that provide long-lasting relief from SUI. These surgeries can be transformative, whether using mesh slings or your body's tissue.The path to SUI victory is yours to create, reflecting your unique story and preferences.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common and distressing condition that affects millions of men worldwide. It is characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain a firm erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. ED can be caused by various factors, including psychological issues, lifestyle choices, and underlying medical conditions.  You might have heard of ED, but you may not realize how common it is. Its prevalence tends to increase with age (if you're in your 40's, you have a 40% chance of experiencing ED, and this risk increases by about 10% with every decade of life).  Fortunately, there are several treatment options available to address ED, including pharmaceutical medications, lifestyle changes, and emerging therapies like peptide treatments.  In this podcast, we will explore the causes and traditional treatments of ED before delving into the exciting potential of peptide therapies in managing ED. What causes erectile dysfunction (ED)? Erectile dysfunction is a complex condition influenced by a variety of physical and psychological factors. To understand the potential benefits of peptide therapies, it's important to understand the underlying causes of ED. Psychological Factors: Psychological factors can significantly contribute to ED. Stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems can all lead to a temporary inability to achieve or maintain an erection. Counseling, therapy, and stress-reduction techniques are often effective in these cases. Lifestyle Choices: Unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, a sedentary lifestyle, and a poor diet, can increase the risk of ED. Making healthier choices can lead to significant improvements in erectile function Underlying Medical Conditions: Numerous medical conditions are associated with ED, including: Cardiovascular disease: Conditions like atherosclerosis can restrict blood flow to the penis. While high blood pressure and high cholesterol can also cause ED. In fact, people with ED are often diagnosed with a heart condition less than 5 years later. Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels and nerves, leading to ED. The longer you have diabetes, the more likely you are to experience ED. Neurological disorders: Conditions like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease can affect nerve signals.  Mental health conditions: Depression, anxiety, high-stress levels can also play a role in your ability to maintain an erection.  Hormonal imbalances: Low testosterone levels can contribute to ED. About 40% of men older than 45 have low testosterone (low T). Obesity: Excess body fat can lead to hormonal imbalances (your body starts to turn testosterone into estrogen) and cardiovascular issues, both of which increase ED risk.  Medications: Certain medications, such as those used to treat pain, enlarged prostate, hypertension, depression, and acid reflux, may have ED as a side effect.  Aging: ED becomes more common as men age due to a natural decline in testosterone levels and changes in blood vessel function. What are traditional erectile dysfunction treatments? The treatment of ED typically begins with lifestyle modifications and, if necessary, progresses to medical interventions. Traditional treatment options include: Lifestyle Changes: Quitting smoking Reducing alcohol consumption Exercising regularly Adopting a healthy diet Managing stress through relaxation techniques or therapy Medications: Oral medications such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil, and avanafil (Stendra) are phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis, helping men achieve and maintain erections. Intracavernosal injections: Medications like alprostadil can be injected directly into the penis to induce an erection. Urethral suppositories: Alprostadil can also be administered as a suppository inserted into the urethra. Vacuum Erection Devices: These are mechanical devices that create a vacuum around the penis, drawing blood into the area and causing an erection. A constriction band is used to maintain the erection. Penile Implants: In cases where other treatments are ineffective, surgically implanted devices can help men achieve and maintain an erection. There are inflatable and semi-rigid penile implants available. While these traditional treatments are effective for many men, they may not be suitable for everyone due to side effects, contraindications, or personal preferences. This has led to the exploration of novel therapies, including the use of peptides. Peptide therapies for erectile dysfunction In recent years, researchers have investigated the potential of peptides in addressing ED. These peptides work by targeting specific pathways and mechanisms involved in erectile function. Here are some promising peptide therapies for ED: Melanotan II (MT-II): Melanotan II is a synthetic peptide initially developed as a tanning agent. However, it has gained attention for its potential to improve sexual function. MT-II stimulates melanocortin receptors in the brain, which can lead to increased sexual desire and improved erectile function. PT-141 (Bremelanotide): PT-141 is another peptide that targets melanocortin receptors, specifically MC3R and MC4R. It has been shown to increase sexual arousal and improve erectile function in both men and women.  Kisspeptin: Kisspeptin is a peptide that plays a role in regulating reproductive hormones. Studies have shown that kisspeptin administration can increase testosterone levels and improve erectile function, making it a potential treatment option for ED. Thymosin Beta-4 (TB4): TB4 is a peptide that has shown promise in promoting tissue repair and regeneration. While not directly targeting erectile function, it may help improve erectile function by enhancing tissue health and blood flow to the penis. Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP): VIP is a peptide with vasodilatory properties, meaning it can relax blood vessels and increase blood flow. It has been investigated as a potential treatment for ED, particularly in cases where vascular issues contribute to the condition. While peptide therapies for ED show promise, there are several challenges and considerations: Limited Clinical Data: Many peptide therapies are still in the experimental stage, with limited clinical data available on their long-term safety and effectiveness. Individual Variability: The response to peptide therapies can vary among individuals, and not all men may experience the same level of improvement in erectile function. Cost: Peptide therapies may be more expensive than traditional medications, and insurance coverage may be limited. Regulatory Status: The regulatory status of peptide therapies for ED can vary by country, and some may not be approved for clinical use. It's important to recognize that peptide therapies for ED are still in the early stages of research and may not be suitable for everyone. Consulting with a healthcare provider is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment approach, taking into consideration individual needs and circumstances. As research in this field continues to advance, we can look forward to more effective and tailored treatments for ED, ultimately improving the lives of those affected by this condition.

This week on BackTable Urology, Dr. Jill Buckley speaks with internationally-renowned urologic reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Sanjay Kulkarni, about his upbringing, training, and insights on urethroplasty. --- SHOW NOTES First, Dr. Kulkarni discusses his upbringing and the importance of education in his family. Then he outlines the challenges he faced in the 1980s when he began to introduce urethroplasty in his hometown in India. He established a small hospital with two operating theaters and 20 beds in 1995 that transformed into a 100-bed urology center in 2021. Additionally, he started the Kulkarni School of Urethral Surgery, which has since been an international training site for surgeons from around the world. Next, Dr. Kulkarni elaborates about the mentors and experiences that have shaped his career. He introduced the buccal mucosa technique in 1997, applied it to penile urethra in 2000, and innovated the one-side dissection technique in 2009. The doctors then discuss the potential advances in urethral surgery, including stem cells and tissue engineering, and Dr. Kulkarni's interest in robotics and reconstructive urology. Finally, Dr. Kulkarni shared his admiration for his various peers and mentors in the field. Finally, he shares his last surgical pearls and emphasizes the importance of attending workshops and observing in the theater to develop one's technique and passion for surgery. He ends the episode by highlighting the importance of out-of-the-box thinking and how it can lead to innovation.

Here are my answers to the ten questions about the male urethral sling procedure. You can find more information at fixincontinence.com Connect with me at whyurologypodcast.com What is the diagnosis?             The diagnosis is urinary stress incontinence. A male urethral sling is placed for men with stress urinary incontinence, most often as a result of prostate removal for prostate cancer. Stress incontinence is leaking when a man coughs, sneezes, or lifts. Candidates for this type of surgery are generally men with mild to moderate leakage (1-4 pads daily). Ideally men considering a sling should also have good bladder function with a bladder capacity > 250 cc and no detrusor instability or overactive bladder. Cystoscopy is also performed prior to surgery to determine there is no bladder neck contracture or urethral strictures. Men must also be able to demonstrate urethral sphincter function either on urodynamics testing, starting and stopping midstream of micturition, or demonstration of urethral sphincter recruitment and closure on cystoscopy. Procedure description:  With a man in stirrups under spinal or general anesthesia, perineal incision is made below the scrotum and above the anus. The urethra is identified and mobilized to allow it to move when the sling is tensioned. Separate bilateral incisions in the inner thigh  are made and using a helical trocar the sling arms are brought from the perineal incision around the pelvic bones through the obturator fossa. The central portion of the mesh is fixed to the urethra and tensioning of the sling is done by pulling firmly on both arms of the sling. Cystoscopy is performed to confirm coaptation of the urethra. Once coaptation is confirmed, the wound is closed. Men spend one night in the hospital when I do the procedure with a catheter in place. The catheter is removed the next day and men are monitored to make sure they can urinat adequately after the procedure. Men must be able to pee the next day before discharge. Some men will need to go home with a catheter. What are the benefits of the procedure? The goal of the procedure is full continence or control of the urine. The male sling does not guarantee complete control. What are the drawbacks and risks of the procedure? As with any surgery there is a risk of infection, bleeding, anesthesia risk and of course the discomfort associated with surgery. These risks are relatively small for the urethral sling. I think the elephant in the room is that a man has a relatively high rate of leakage when compared with the artificial sphincter.  For men who do have continued leakage after a sling has been placed we can still place an artificial urinary sphincter at a later time. Obviously the goal is to get it right the first time, but it is important to know that it is not an either or proposition for men. Inability to urinate or urinary retention is also a risk if the sling ends up being too tight or causes too much restriction. Most often urine retention improves over time after the procedure but some men depend on intermittent catheterization after the procedure.             If the urethra is injured while placing the cuff, we need to stop the procedure and let that heal before attempting that again. That is rare but can occur. Also rare is a reaction to the mesh that would cause erosion or extrusion of the mesh.             Finally, over the long term, as our body tissues change some men will experience an increase in leaking years after the sling has been placed. Alternatives: Alternatives to the sling are continuing the use of the diapers or pads, using an external compression device on the penis such as a Cunningham clamp, biofeedback, and external catheterization such as a condom catheter. Several models from different manufacturers of the urethral sling exist. The artificial urinary sphincter is the alternative surgical approach. How common is this procedure? The male urethral sling is a common enough procedure. Most men who have had prostate removal do not need any surgery to help with urinary control or choose not to do any further treatment. But the number of surgeries done every year means there are enough men who have problems who need to have the sling placed. Why now or when should a man have the procedure? The timing of placing a male urethral sling is usually at least one year from the time of the prostatectomy. It takes time for some men to regain urinary control.  Most of you listening this far already know that you have continued problems with incontinence. You have tried Kegel exercises, biofeedback and possibly medication. You have also tried the external compression devices and the urinary pads, and you are looking for a definitive solution. As I have said before if you are a man considering this procedure take your time making this decision. Preparing for the procedure: Normal recommendations for prior to any surgery Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the procedure.             You should take your usual medications as you normally would the morning of your procedure with a small sip of water or clear liquid only (avoid juice, milk, coffee). Starting 5 to 10 days prior to your procedure (ask your doctor for a specific time), it is important to stop taking medications that might increase your risk of bleeding. For a list of blood-thinning medications that should be avoided. Preparing your skin by washing with antibacterial soap or Hibiclens for a week prior to surgery will help decrease ethe bacterial count on your skin to help with infection.         Have a driver and know the route the hospital, how you will get home, and bow will take care of you when you do get home. After the procedure: You will stay the night in the hospital. Pain is controlled, you will eat a normal diet and begin to walk around after surgery right away. We leave a catheter in overnight and remove the next day. One of the critical steps when removing the catheter is making sure a man can void after the procedure. There is some risk of retention. If you need a catheter when you go home we will decide when to remove it at that time. You will go home on antibiotics. Take the complete course of antibiotics prescribed unless you have a reaction to the medicine. I usually will have an appt with you 2 weeks after the operation. Here is the critical, critical thing. Plan to do only light duty and limited activity for at least six weeks after surgery. The sling can move in position with too much lifting, bending, straining. It heals into place and the body fixes it in position but it takes a while to do. One of the big advantages of this surgery is the small incision we make, but this means that we aren't sewing the sling to bone or other structures to fix it in place. Your body must do that. That takes time. Insurance coverage: Yes, there is usually good insurance coverage for this procedure. There is a prior authorization process, and our business office will help guide you. Know that you have coverage for this procedure before you get to the hospital on the day of surgery. You don't want to have to sort through the billing issues after the procedure

Tomcats with urethral obstruction are sadly a common small animal emergency population; this problem is one of the 'classics' no doubt, and with the potential to be fatal. Survival rates in the short-term can be extremely high with the right approach to stabilisation and management, medium-to-long term the prognosis can be more guarded. In a slightly roundtable fashion I am joined to discuss this topic by Dr Rosanne Jepson, Lecturer in Small Animal Internal Medicine; by Dominic Barfield, Lecturer in Emergency and Critical Care; and in absentia by Nicola Kulendra, Lecturer in Small Animal Surgery. And of course I can't help but chip in as well! In this two-part podcast series we discuss a whole host of questions surrounding this disorder including what FLUTD is, approach to the blocked cat, and recommendations following successful intervention.
