Purpose: Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) has proven to be a valuable treatment option for various lower urinary tract conditions, such as overactive bladder syndrome and neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The aim of this study was to investigate acute changes in urodynamic parameters due to bilateral TTNS. Methods: Fifty-one patients (18–87 years; 61% female) with various lower urinary tract symptoms were enrolled in this study. They were single-blinded and randomly assigned to receive simultaneous bilateral TTNS either during their first urodynamic examination, followed by a second round using a placebo stimulation technique, or vice versa. Results: For subjects without signs of anatomical pathologies, the filling volume at the first desire to void (FDV) increased significantly by 54 mL (interquartile range [IQR], 26–81 mL; P<0.01) under the influence of TTNS compared to placebo. The maximum cystometric capacity increased by 41 mL (IQR, 10–65 mL; P=0.02). The median micturition volume of patients with pathological postvoid residual volumes (>100 mL) increased by 76 mL compared to patients without urinary retention (IQR, 6–166 mL; P=0.03). Conclusions: Compared to placebo, simultaneous bilateral TTNS showed significant improvements in bladder functioning, such as delayed FDV, increased maximum cystometric capacity, and reduced urinary retention. Patients with signs of anatomical pathologies did not seem to benefit from TTNS. Further studies need to be conducted to compare the effectiveness of bilateral versus unilateral TTNS.

Purpose: Smoking represents a primary risk factor for the development of urothelial carcinoma (UC) and a relevant factor impacting UC-specific prognosis. Data on the accordant knowledge of UC-patients in this regard and the significance of physicians in the education of UC-patients is limited. Materials and Methods: Eighty-eight UC-patients were enrolled in a 23-items-survey-study aimed to analyse patient knowledge and awareness of their tumor disease with smoking along with physician smoking cessation counselling. Results: The median age of the study patients was 69 years; 26.1% (n=23), 46.6% (n=41), and 27.3% (n=24), respectively, were non-smokers, previous, and active smokers. Exactly 50% of active smokers reported a previous communication with a physician about the association of smoking and their tumor disease; however, only 25.0% were aware of smoking as main risk factor for UC development. Merely 33% of the active smokers had been prompted directly by their physicians to quit smoking. About 42% of active smokers had received the information that maintaining smoking could result in a tumor-specific impairment of their prognosis. Closely 29% of active and about 5% of previous smokers (during the time-period of active smoking) had been offered support from physicians for smoking cessation. No association was found between smoking anamnesis (p=0.574) and pack-years (p=0.912), respectively, and tumor stage of UC. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the medical conversation of physicians with UC-patients about the adverse significance of smoking is limited. Implementation of structured educational programs for smoking cessation may be an opportunity to further enhance comprehensive cancer care.
