- Purpose: This study examined the epidemiological trends of bladder-related urological procedures in South Korea from 2009 to 2021.
Materials and Methods: The data were obtained from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) database, encompassing various bladder-related urological procedures. The frequencies and trends were analyzed using statistical methods.
Results: Uroflowmetry, cystoscopy, prostate biopsy, and urethral dilation showed a positive trend, while prostate massage exhibited a negative trend. The 72-hour voiding function test, which started in 2017, also demonstrated a positive trend in frequency. A urodynamic study and mid-urethral sling operation exhibited an overall decreasing trend. Bladder-indwelling catheter, Nelaton catheterization, and cystostomy catheter change showed increasing trends, while suprapubic cystostomy showed a decreasing trend.
Conclusions: This 12-year analysis provided valuable insights into the epidemiological patterns and utilization of bladder-related urological procedures in South Korea. These trends highlight the evolving landscape of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in bladder-related conditions and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between urology and other medical departments. The results highlight the need for optimizing catheter-related care protocols, resource allocation, and continued monitoring of practices across healthcare settings.

Abstract
PDF
- Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common, usually transient, dermatologic infection transmitted by genital contact which can cause a variety of anogenital diseases, including warts (condyloma), dysplasia (cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal), and squamous cell carcinoma. A number of treatment modalities are available for treatment of anogenital warts, both patient- and provider-applied. Genital warts are benign and resolve spontaneously in some patients, and removal of lesions does not guarantee elimination of all organisms or confer protection from recurrence. Treatment consists of diverse drug application locally and surgical therapy. Urethral warts are an uncommon presentation of HPV and could be treated by endoscopic surgery accompanied by intraurethral instillation of medications. Bivalent and quadrivalent vaccines are approved for prevention of HPV infection. Both are indicated for prevention of cervical cancer, while the quadrivalent vaccine is also approved for prevention of vaginal/vulvar cancers as well as genital warts in males and females.
