When traditional interventions are used in long term care for catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention, residual rates are still high despite a decrease. We conducted a quality improvement study focusing our interventions on patient and staff behavioral patterns identified through a structured huddle process to improve upon the basics for CAUTI prevention.

Intermittent catheterization (IC) is a common medical technique to drain urine from the bladder when this is no longer possible by natural means. The objective of this study was to evaluate the standard of care and the burden of illness in German individuals who perform intermittent catheterization and obtain recommendations for improvement of care.

(1) Assess risk factors associated with urethral stricture recurrence (USR). (2) Assess urethral stricture recurrence after end-to-end urethroplasty (EE) and buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty (BMG).

We sought to determine if stress urinary incontinence surgery (mesh or nonmesh) is associated with the development of pelvic malignancies later in life. We performed a retrospective cohort study between January 1, 2002 and October 31, 2015 of all women in Ontario, Canada without a history of pelvic malignancy who underwent an index stress incontinence […]

The objective was to report the management of post-operative urinary incontinence after midurethral sling (MUS) revision for chronic pelvic pain (CPP), and to report functional outcomes. From November 2004 to February 2018, a total of 89 women who underwent removal or section of MUS for CPP, were enrolled.

To review the evolution of female continence surgical practice in Australia over the last 20 years and observe whether vaginal mesh controversies impacted these trends. From January 2000 to December 2019, medicare benefit schedule codes for female continence procedures were identified and extracted for: mesh sling, fascial sling, bulking agent, female urethral prosthesis, colposuspension, and removal […]

The efficacy of radiofrequency (RF) in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is as yet unknown. The aim was to compare the effect of fractional microablative RF and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) against the combination of both therapies (RF + PFMT) in the SUI and on genitourinary syndrome (GSM).

Rhythmic contractions of the bladder wall during filling result from the synchronization of bladder wall micromotion and are often observed in the urodynamic tracings of individuals with urinary overactive bladder (OAB).

A novel leadless tibial nerve stimulator (LTNS) provides a primary battery-powered, coin-sized, minimally invasive option to deliver automatic low-duty cycle stimulation for overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) therapy.

Transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) are effective and safe therapies for overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome in adults. However, few randomized sham-controlled trials have been conducted in a pediatric population.
