Cystoscopy has a limited role in the evaluation of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The examination is recommended in the evaluation of BPH patients with hematuria or a history of risk factors for urethral stricture. Available data suggest that bladder trabeculation in BPH is a predictor of the treatment outcome. Cystoscopy might be performed prior to invasive therapy to guide the urologist in choosing an operative approach.
The cutaneous RAM flap was used successfully to repair a radiation-induced vesicovaginal fistula. Patient selection is important, ideally one with a fatty lower abdominal wall and without a previous incision transecting the inferior rectus muscle below the umbilicus. The RAM flap has excellent vascularity, allows augmentation of the bladder, and permits an extraperitoneal approach, factors that are important when operating in an irradiated field.
