Urinary incontinence is a common complication post radical prostatectomy. Acupuncture is considered an effective treatment for post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI), but the evidence is still limited.
We hypothesized that patients with refractory overactive bladder (rOAB) have similar improvement with percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) and OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTX). This multicenter cohort study compared BTX and PTNS in women with rOAB.
This study aims to examine the clinical outcomes of women who underwent a midurethral sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence and compare postoperative urinary symptoms among different body mass index (BMI) groups.
To assess whether some, or all, of the mesh needs to be removed when a midurethral sling is removed for complications. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. MEDLINE, Cochrane, and ClinicalTrials.
The transobturator mid-urethral Altis® "mini-sling" uses a static and a dynamic anchor on either end of a pulley suture for intraoperative tension adjustment. Given the potential for incorrect tensioning with sling placement, we adopted a modification for post-operative adjustment should stress urinary incontinence (SUI) persist.
Overactive Bladder Syndrome (OAB) has multiple treatment methods including pharmacotherapy, pelvic floor muscle training, electrostimulation, or surgery. One of the nonpharmacological treatment options is physiotherapy including pelvic floor muscle training.
Nocturia and its related arousal may impair the quality of life and increase the risk of falls in older adults. This study aimed to clarify the change in urination status during the main sleeping period within 1 year.
Salt and water homeostasis is regulated hormonally, so polyuria can result from endocrine disease directly or via secondary effects. These mechanisms are not consistently considered in primary care management of nocturia.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a painful recurrent condition characterized by the discomfort of the bladder, and current treatment options have limited effectiveness. Prolotherapy is a well-known treatment that involves the injection of non-biologic solutions to reduce pain and/or promote proliferation of soft tissue, and dextrose is the most common injectate.
A placebo is an inert substance normally used in clinical trials for comparison with an active substance. However, a placebo has been shown to have an effect on its own; commonly known as the placebo effect.
