Baseline urinary incontinence (UI) strongly modulates UI recovery after adjuvant/salvage radiotherapy (ART/SRT), inducing clinicians to postpone it "as much as possible", maximizing UI recovery but possibly reducing efficacy.
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of pelvic floor muscle training (PMFT) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men after they received radical prostatectomy (RP). From November 2018 to September 2019, patients who underwent radical prostatectomy were assessed for eligibility.
Female urethral stricture (FUS) is an uncommon entity. Although there is no clinical consensus on the best modality of treatment, several studies have been published describing different techniques of FUS management.
Women with hereditary disorders of connective tissue (HDCT) are at increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We hypothesized that patients would have increased incidence and severity of perioperative complications up to 6 weeks after surgeries for POP/SUI.
Manufacturers of Macroplastique® for urethral bulking have not previously reported exposures as potential complications. This study was aimed at identifying presenting symptoms, management, and outcomes in patients experiencing urethral or bladder exposures.
Overactive bladder and urge urinary incontinence affect millions of women and men and results in billions of dollars in health care expenses. First- and second-line therapy includes behavioral modifications and/or pharmacotherapies however, many patients’ symptoms remain or progress on these treatments.
We aimed to understand the reasons patients choose to pursue third line overactive bladder (OAB) therapy. We conducted a mixed methods study that included patient interviews and survey data. Eligible patients were diagnosed by symptoms, had tried behavioral modifications, and OAB medications enrolled from October 2018 to August 2019.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent condition, which negatively impacts patients’ quality of life. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP), also prevalent in women, has been recognized as an important etiology of female OAB, although the pathophysiological mechanisms remain controversial.
Our objective is to better comprehend treatment considerations for urethral stricture disease (USD) in patients requiring long-term clean intermittent catheterization (CIC). Patient characteristics, surgical outcomes and complications are unknown in this population.
Chronic catheterization remains the only attractive option in specific circumstances, especially in neurologically impaired patients. Complications produced by the indwelling catheters, like patulous urethra and bladder neck destruction, usually lead to severe incontinence and significant nursing difficulties.
