Abstract Background Obesity is a chronic disease with multisystem morbidity. There are multiple studies reporting the effect of bariatric surgery on cardiovascular and metabolic disease but only few examine its impact on lower urinary tract symptoms. This article aims to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis in order to determine the effects of bariatric surgery on lower urinary tract symptoms in male patients. Methods Medline, Embase, conference proceeding and reference lists were searched for studies reporting the quantative measurement of lower urinary tract symptoms score pre- and post-weight loss surgery. The primary outcome was International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) before and after bariatric surgery. Secondary outcomes were change in Body Mass Index (BMI) and Total Body Weight (TBW). Weighted mean differences (MD) were calculated for continuous outcomes. Results Seven studies were included in the analysis of 334 patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Mean study follow-up was between 3 and 36 months. There was a statistically significant improvement in the IPSS score following bariatric surgery (MD 2.82, 95% CI 0.96 to 4.69, p = 0.003). Bariatric surgery also resulted in statistically significant reduction of BMI and TBW. Conclusion Bariatric surgery produces a significant improvement on lower urinary tract symptoms in men with obesity. This may be due to improvement of insulin sensitivity, testosterone levels or lipid profile associated with weight loss. Further studies are necessary to investigate in detail the pathophysiological mechanisms through which lower urinary tract symptoms develop in obese patients, and their improvement following weight loss surgery.

Purpose: To assess the rate and severity of functional outcomes after salvage therapy for radiation recurrent prostate cancer. Methods: This systematic review of the MEDLINE/PubMed database yielded 35 studies, evaluating salvage radical prostatectomy (RP), brachytherapy (BT), high-intensity focal ultrasound (HIFU) and cryotherapy (CT) after failure of primary radiation therapy. Data on pre- and post-salvage rates and severity of functional outcomes (urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and lower urinary tract symptoms) were collected from each study. Results: The rates of severe urinary incontinence ranged from 28–88%, 4.5–42%, 0–6.5%, 2.4–8% post salvage RP, HIFU, CT and BT, respectively. The rates of erectile dysfunction were relatively high reaching as much as 90%, 94.6%, 100%, 62% following RP, HIFU, CT and BT, respectively. Nonetheless, the high pre-salvage rates of ED preclude accurate estimation of the effect of salvage therapy. There was an increase in the median IPSS following salvage HIFU, BT and CT ranging from 2.5–3.4, 3.5–12, and 2, respectively. Extended follow-up showed a return-to-baseline IPSS in a salvage BT study. The reported data suffer from selection, reporting, publication and period of study biases, making inter-study comparisons inappropriate. Conclusions: local salvage therapies for radiation recurrent PCa affect continence, lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual functions. The use of local salvage therapies may be warranted in the setting of local disease control, but each individual decision must be made with the informed patient in a shared decision working process.

Previous data have shown that patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) could be refractory to the medical treatment. In this context, the evidence suggests a role for statin use in LUTS/BPE patients. The present systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of statins on the treatment of men with LUTS/BPE. This review has been registered on PROSPERO (CRD42019120729). A systematic review of English-language literature was performed up to January 2020 in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA statement) criteria. Retrieved studies had to include adults with LUTS connected to BPE treated with statins drugs for metabolic syndrome. After removing duplicates, a total of 381 studies were identified by the literature search and independently screened. Of these articles, 10 fit the inclusion criteria and were further assessed for eligibility. Data from our systematic review suggest that a long-term therapy with statins, at least 6 months, is required to achieve significant impacts on prostate tissue and LUTS. Moreover, besides statins’ direct activity, the risk reduction of LUTS might be connected to the improvement of hypercholesterolemia and MetS. The role of statins for the treatment of LUTS/BPE may be beneficial; however, evidence from robust studies is not enough, and more clinical trial are required.
