Urinary Incontinence significantly affects daily life of suffering women. Minimally invasive solutions to cope with urine leakage would be of great interest. A Survey to investigate efficacy and compliance of an innovative intravaginal device (Diveen®) to reduce the risk of urine leakage was performed in 5 Urogynecological Centers across Italy.
Female urethral stricture disease is rare and has several surgical approaches including endoscopic dilations (ENDO), urethroplasty with local vaginal tissue flap (ULT) or urethroplasty with free graft (UFG).
This study aims to compare pelvic incidence (PI), a skeletal angle formed by the first sacral vertebrae and femoral heads, in women with and without pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and to explore the correlation of PI with the progression of POP, through 3D reconstruction of MRI scans.
To analyze the efficacy and safety of standard-dose antimuscarinic treatment on male patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms showing poor efficacy after low-dose antimuscarinics. We retrospectively reviewed the data of 566 male patients aged ≥40 with OAB symptoms between January 2017 and June 2018.
To review current evidence on gene expression in women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Our literature review revealed numerous genes that are associated with urinary incontinence and POP.
We investigated the satisfaction and efficacy of mirabegron in patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms who were unsatisfied with previous antimuscarinic treatment. This was a 12-week, open-label study of adults with OAB who had been treated with antimuscarinics within 2 years of screening and expressed dissatisfaction over poor efficacy or adverse events of antimuscarinics.
A higher incidence rate of nocturia in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been observed. We investigated the differences in clinical examinations between OSA patients with and without nocturia, and further compared those with successful and unsuccessful uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP).
Spinal cord injury (SCI) above the lumbosacral level results in lower urinary tract dysfunction, including (1) detrusor hyperreflexia, wherein bladder compliance is low, and (2) a lack of external urethral sphincter (EUS) control, leading to detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) with poor voiding efficiency.
There is no data regarding validity and reliability of the Greek version of Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score (NBSS) questionnaire. In this study we investigated these parameters using a sample of Greek patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common syndrome in the community characterised by unstable bladder contractions, resulting in urinary urgency, frequency and nocturia in the absence of detectable disease.
