Purpose

Acute urinary retention (AUR) is a serious complication of male with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

ABSTRACT

Introduction: We hypothesized that women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and overt stress urinary incontinence (SUI) would demonstrate less obstruction and retention because of the “release valve” effect of a less competent urethra. To evaluate this, we conducted a prospective supplementary study to the Colpopexy And Urinary Reduction Efforts (CARE) study. We compared voiding parameters and symptoms in 3 groups of women with POP: 1) women with no symptoms of SUI and no urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) during prolapse reduction , 2) women with no SUI symptoms but evidence of USI on reduction testing (occult USI) and 3) women with SUI symptoms (overt SUI).

ABSTRACT

Introduction: To better understand the correlation between non-instrumented uroflowmetry (NIF) and pressure-flow studies (PFS) in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), we conducted a prospective supplementary study to the Colpopexy And Urinary Reduction Efforts (CARE) study.

To compare the performance and cost-effectiveness of the key absorbent product designs to provide a more solid basis for guiding selection and purchase. Also to carry out the first stage in the development of a quality of life (QoL) instrument for measuring the impact of absorbent product use on users' lives.

ABSTRACT

Introduction and Objectives: The aims of the present study were to determine the indications for anti-incontinence surgery and evaluate the efficacy of different methods (combination of anterior colporraphy with TVT, vaginal wall sling (VWS), Raz needle suspension) in preventing postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women undergoing surgery for severe urogenital prolapse.
