  The Effects of BMI on the Development of Radiation Cystitis Onset: A Pilot Study

  Kelsa G. Kazyak and Bernadette MM Zwaans

  Publication Date: 5-2023

  Radiation cystitis (RC) is a debilitating adverse side effect of pelvic radiation therapy. Despite advancements within the field of radiation oncology, the location of the bladder makes it difficult to avoid during radiation and approximately 5-10% of cancer survivors with a history of pelvic radiation are at risk. While RC is not common, the long-term effects can be crippling and we hope to provide more information on the risk factors to help survivors and inform clinicians.

  Urodynamic Characteristics of Patients with Urge Incontinence treated with Sacral Neuromodulation and Adjunct Botulinum Toxin Injection

  Brent Yelton and Jason Gilleran

  Publication Date: 5-2023

  Sacral neuromodulation (SN) and intradetrusor botulinum toxin (BTX) are effective treatments for refractory overactive bladder (OAB) and urge incontinence (UI).1 The decision on which treatment to use is based on several factors. Urodynamics (UDS) have not been proven to determine who will respond to SN. Detrusor overactivity (DO) suggests that BTX may be more effective, given its direct role on muscle. The purpose of this study is to determine if presence and severity of DO on UDS is associated with failure of SN and response to BTX.

  Elimination Of Postoperative Narcotics In Infant Robotic Pyeloplasty Using Caudal Anesthesia And A Non-Narcotic Pain Pathway

  Kwesi Asantey, Kristen Meier, Zachary Rollins, Andrew B. Banooni, and Zachary J. Liss

  Publication Date: 5-2-2022

  INTRODUCTION
  Research suggests that narcotic pain medications are dramatically overprescribed. We hypothesize that narcotics are unnecessary in the majority of infants for postoperative pain control. In this series, we report our experience combining caudal blocks with a non-narcotic postoperative pathway as a means of completely eliminating postoperative narcotics following infant robotic pyeloplasty.

  Assessing the Prevalence of Sport-Induced Urinary Incontinence and its Emotional Impact on Female Gymnasts

  Nikta Rezakahn Khajeh and Kenneth M. Peters

  Publication Date: 5-2-2022

  INTRODUCTION
  Female gymnasts put strain on their pelvic floor muscles with high impact exercises that increase their susceptibility for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Moreover, they refrain from seeking medical attention because of embarrassment. This project seeks to quantify the prevalence of SUI in female gymnasts while also influencing conversation about SUI in the gymnastics community to alleviate its stigma. We hypothesize there to be a high prevalence of SUI in young female gymnasts compared to nonathletic females.

  Evaluation of TrenGuard Patient Positioning System

  Joshua Volin, Patrick Herndon, Michelle Jankowski, Deborah Hasenau, and Jason Hafron

  Publication Date: 5-2-2022

  INTRODUCTION
  The TrenGuard™ patient positioning device is a comprehensive patient restraint system for patient positioning when in Trendelenburg position during robotic surgery. This study aims to compare patient migration with the TrenGuard™ patient restraint system (TGPRS) to traditional patient restraint with surgical tape and egg crate foam bolsters (STECFB).
