To evaluate the responsiveness of Brazilian-Portuguese version of Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) after pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI).
In the search for alternative therapy for infections and other ailments, metallic nanoparticles, mainly silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized through bioengineered sources are extensively explored.
Overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms might be affected by weather, but only a few clinical studies have investigated this issue. We investigated seasonal variations in OAB-drug prescription rate (DPR) in men using nationwide claims data in Korea.
To determine the percentage of Argentinian patients with "uncomplicated" and "complicated" stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in whom preoperative urodynamics study (UDS) was performed.
Advanced vaginal vault prolapse (VVP) can occur rarely after any type of hysterectomy. Several types of procedures have been applied to correct this defect, but optimal management is still pending. The aim of this study was to describe the surgical technique and results of four-arm transvaginal mesh (FATVM) application for advanced VVP.
No large-scale comparison of the four most established surgical approaches for LUTS due to benign prostate obstruction in terms of long-term efficacy is available. We compared photoselective vaporisation, laser enucleation and open simple prostatectomy to transurethral resection with regard to 5-year surgical re-intervention rates.
Penile clamps offer an alternative to manage male urinary incontinence in patients who are unfit for surgery. Patient experience with penile clamps is poorly understood. Our study elucidates patient opinions on commercially available penile clamps and the factors that associate with favorable and unfavorable opinions.
To compare the efficacy, safety, patient compliance and quality of life (QoL) (early and at 6 months after treatment), in a group of Iraqi female patients with refractory overactive bladder (OAB), treated with intradetrusor botulinum toxin A (BTX) injections vs sacral neuromodulation (SNM).
The pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increased the awareness and efforts to provide care from distance using information technologies. We reviewed the literature about the practice and effectiveness of the rehabilitation of the female pelvic floor dysfunction via telehealth regarding symptomatology and quality of life and function of pelvic floor muscles (PFM).
To evaluate the available literature to assess the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of lasers in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder (OAB). Pubmed search was conducted up to May 2020, including observational and investigational human studies that documented the effects on laser treatment in SUI and OAB.
