AIMS: To determine the effects on Quality of Life (QoL) of a Brindley procedure, which combines a sacral dorsal root rhizotomy to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity with sacral anterior root stimulation to enable micturition, defecation, and penile erections in complete spinal cord injury (SCI)
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study is to evaluate the complications and anatomical and functional outcomes of the surgical treatment of mesh-related complications. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent complete or partial mesh excision to treat complic
AIMS: To determine the reclassification rate of clinically diagnosed stress, mixed, and urge urinary incontinence after urodynamic investigation. METHODS: A systematic review of the published literature in MEDLINE and EMBASE of clinical trials among women with urinary incontinence. Studies were incl
We report the case of a kidney transplant recipient with invasive aspergillosis due to Aspergillus fumigatus resistant to voriconazole and intermediately susceptible to posaconazole who failed posaconazole therapy. Plasma posaconazole concentrations indicated an unfavorable ratio of the area under t
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: More answers are nowadays available about certain aspects of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) treatment. In this overview some of those aspects are addressed that were considered important and published in 2010. RECENT FINDINGS: When stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is present concomi
AIMS: Conditional stimulation of dorsal genital nerves suppresses undesired detrusor contractions (UDC) and consequently increases bladder capacity and prevents incontinence. No clinically applicable sensor exists for reliable bladder activity monitoring as a trigger for conditional stimulation. Pri
AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of fesoterodine treatment in subjects with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms. METHODS: This was an open-label extension study of a 12-week, double-blind fesoterodine study. During open-label treatment, all subj
AIMS: Adequate urodynamic assessment of bladder behavior is essential in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. Ambulatory urodynamics are more sensitive to detect detrusor overactivity (DO) than conventional urodynamics. The primary objective of this study was to determine the value of ambulatory urody
