Single-incision slings are not considered a first-choice surgical treatment owing to a lack of data about long-term outcomes. We aimed to assess the long-term results of urinary incontinence treatment after single-incision sling implantation at 10 years’ follow-up and to investigate possible deterioration over time.
We investigated surgical outcomes and changes of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms after midurethral sling in female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients with or without neurological disease (ND) without spinal cord injury.
Parasacral transcutaneous electriconeural stimulation (pTENS) is a common treatment modality for patients with overactive bladder (OAB). Its mechanism of effectiveness has yet to be elucidated. Recent studies with fMRI in adults with implanted sacral nerve stimulators impute its effectiveness on changes in the brain involving the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC).
Real-world data that support the use of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for lower urinary tract dysfunctions are of continued interest. To evaluate the effectiveness, quality of life (QoL), patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and safety of SNM with the InterStim™ system in real life during 1-yr postimplant.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, chronic, inflammatory, and autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with axonal degeneration, presenting a progressive and variable course. MS patients usually have complications, such as bladder dysfunction, presence of urinary symptoms, and Urinary Tract infection (UTI), which is one of the three most common non-neurological complications in […]
The utility and importance of the 3-day Bladder Diary (3dBD) for the diagnosis and management of patients with Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) was analyzed. Epidemiological, observational, longitudinal and multicentric study, carried out under usual conditions of clinical practice.
To compare the clinical characteristics of three groups of female patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) classified according to the presence or absence of Hunner lesions (HL) and glomerulations.
Survey. To investigate the needs and priorities of people with spinal cord injury for managing neurogenic bladder and bowel function and to determine their willingness to adopt neuromodulation interventions for these functions.
Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) represents a severe burden for patients with open spina bifida (OSB). The effect of fetal OSB repair on the urological outcome remains unclear, as controversial data exist.
Establish recommendations for the management of UTIs in MS patients. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common during multiple sclerosis (MS) and are one of the most common comorbidities potentially responsible for deaths from urinary sepsis.
