To compare efficacy and safety between neurogenic and non-neurogenic women after adjustable continence therapy (ACT®) balloons implantation to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
This study aimed to evaluate psychosocial distress in the context of continence and oncological outcome during the early recovery period after radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer. Retrospectively collected data from 587 patients who underwent inpatient rehabilitation after RP in 2016 and 2017 were analyzed.
To evaluate the relationships between physical activity, both work and recreational, and urinary incontinence among women. We assessed women aged 20 years and older in 2008-2018 NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) cycles who answered self-reported urinary incontinence and physical activity questions.
Quality of life (QoL) in women with urinary incontinence (UI) is mainly affected by UI severity, but it is also affected by the UI subtype, comorbidities, age, and socioeconomic status. e-Health is a new method for providing UI treatment.
We aimed to explore the pathways followed by patients with overactive bladder (OAB) from referral to the urologist to final treatment. This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study of female patients diagnosed with OAB in a large Dutch nonacademic teaching hospital.
This study aimed to explore the effect of pelvic reconstruction surgery on the relation of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and overactive bladder (OAB) and the impact of preoperative vaginal oestrogen supplement on vaginal tissue.
The Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (OAB-q) measures overactive bladder patients’ severity of symptoms and their impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this study was to validate the OAB-q in Greek patients with overactive bladder and report clinical implications of the disease.
Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is common in patients with chronic brain disorders. This study investigated the video-urodynamic study (VUDS) findings of LUTD in patients with chronic brain disorders, including cerebrovascular accident (CVA), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and early dementia.
Controversy still exists regarding the balance of benefits and harms for the different surgical options for neurogenic stress urinary incontinence (N-SUI). To identify which surgical option for N-SUI offers the highest cure rate and best safety without compromising urinary tract function and bladder management.
