Aim:Generally, urodynamic-pressure flow study (U-PFS) is performed on patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) for verifying the diagnosis and evaluating the rate of response for treatment. The aim of the study was to assess the results of the U-PFS of patients according to the etiology of neurological disorders.Materials and Methods:The data of 2,489 patients who underwent U-PFS in our clinic between 2010-2022 were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 535 patients with LUTS and neurogenic disorder were included in the study. Patients were divided into subgroups according to their diagnosis. The patient’s age, gender, and U-PFS data (sensation of first urine, maximum cystometric capacity (MSC), maximum detrusor pressures in the filling phase, presence of urgency, and bladder compliance status) were evaluated and compared according to neurological disorders.Results:Cervical and lumbar disc disorder was found in 204 (38.1%) patients, multiple sclerosis (MS) in 103 (19.2%), and cerebrovascular incidents in 74 (13.8%) patients (SVI), spinal cord injury in 48 (8.9%), polyneuropathy in 43 (8.0%), Parkinson’s disease (PD) in 30 (5.6%), diabetic neuropathy in 18 (3.4%), and operated spine bifida (oSB) in 15 (2.8%) was detected. Detrusor pressures in the filling phase were compared according to neurological disorders, and detrusor pressures were statistically significantly higher in patients with oSB and PD (52.66±40.78 mmHg; 45.30±34.43 mmHg, respectively; p

IntroductionPeyronie's disease (PD) is a common urologic illness, motivating numerous scientific investigations and publications. Scientific publications have more authors each year. A bibliometric review of the PD literature might help urologists and sexual medicine professionals comprehend publication tendencies in this subject. The current study was aimed at presenting a bibliometric analysis of PD, which is one of the important and trending subjects of andrology.MethodsOn January 5, 2023, Web of Science scanned documents with the terms Peyronie's disease” “Peyronie's disease treatment”, “Peyronie's disease management”, “Peyronie's disease surgery” and “Peyronie's disease injection” from 1975 through 2023. Titles, years, authors, citations, citation indices, journal names, authors' countries of origin, article categories, and funding sources were recorded.Results“Clinical Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum for the Treatment of Peyronie Disease in 2 Large Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Phase 3 Studies” has the most citations and citation index. Most of the T100 articles were published in 2020, primarily in the Journal of Urology. These articles mainly focused on treatment, especially surgeries. All of these articles were in English, and the vast majority of them were by authors from the US who were most frequently collaborated with by other authors.ConclusionThis research analyzed the top 100 PD studies. This research focused on pathophysiology, innovative surgical procedures, and new approaches of PD. It also recommended bigger databases and more financing for research.
