A multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial and four postmarket user acceptance investigations were carried out to document the safety, performance, and user acceptance of Efemia Bladder Support, a novel vaginal inlay for the temporary reduction of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
The study aimed to investigate the impact of SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence) on the sexual activity of women, to assess their sexual functioning, and to show the extent of the problem that SUI poses to the quality of life of women.
The primary cause of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is weak cardinal/uterosacral (CL/USL) ligaments and for stress urinary incontinence, weak pubourethral ligaments (PUL). A 1 cm wide tape cut from a mesh sheet was applied tension-free to reinforce already plicated CL/USLs for cure of prolapse and directly to PUL for cure of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) usually coexist and are common among women. Since the efficacy of urodynamic studies (UDS) in evaluating these conditions is subject to controversy, this study aimed to assess the accordance between urodynamic findings and LUTS and to determine the importance of UDS in women with POP.
Treatment options for refractory overactive bladder (OAB) following behavioral modifications and oral OAB medications remain limited. Up to 33% of women fail botulinum toxin injections (Amundsen et al.
Urinary symptoms are highly prevalent among people with MS. This study aimed to explore the experiences of people with MS and HCPs in managing urinary symptoms and explore their views on using TTNS to treat urinary symptoms.
Neurogenic bladder management after spinal cord injury (SCI) is very challenging. Daily urethral catheterization is most commonly used to empty the bladder, which causes frequent infections of the lower urinary tract.
Overactive bladder (OAB) affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and has significant detrimental effects on quality-of-life. Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is endorsed in the European guidelines of Urology as second-line therapy – on par with pharmacological treatment for women with OAB.
The objective was to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions for interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) with direct and indirect evidence from randomized trials.
To evaluate the recovery of early urinary continence in patients with prostate cancer using a suprapubic catheter during Retzius-sparing robotic-assistant laparoscopic prostatectomy. From January 2018 to January 2019, 223 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent Retzius-sparing robotic-assistant laparoscopic prostatectomy in Diakonie Klinikum Stuttgart were involved in our study.
