The terminology for adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (ANLUTD) should be defined and organized in a clinically based consensus Report.This Report has been created by Working Group under the auspices guidelines of International Continence Society (ICS) Standardization Steering Committee (SSC) assisted at intervals external referees. All relevant definitions ANLUTD were updated on basis research over last 14 years. An extensive process 18 rounds internal review was involved to...
This is a prospective, double-blind, placebo controlled study, based on an original technique, performed to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation in female patients with detrusor overactivity incontinence.A total 35 presenting incontinence that did not respond antimuscarinic therapy were randomly assigned or control group. The group (18 patients) was treated 12 sessions. (17 received treatment using 34 gauge needle placed medial part gastrocnemius muscle. sessions...
To present the teaching module "Measurement of Post-void residual urine."This has been prepared by a Working Group ICS Urodynamics Committee. The methodology used included comprehensive literature review, consensus formation members Group, and review Committee core panel.In this evidence for relevance PVR measurement in patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is summarized; short: interval between voiding post-void (PVR) should be short duration ultrasound bladder volume...
Abstract Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect posterior tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for treatment urge incontinence. Methods: In a prospective multicentre study, 35 patients with complaints incontinence underwent 12 weekly sessions PTNS at one five sites in Netherlands and site Italy. Frequency/volume charts I‐QoL SF‐36 questionnaires were completed 0 weeks. Success analysed by using subjective criteria. Overall success defined as willingness continue treatment,...
Long-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (LL-SEP) provide information on the function of cortical structures. Percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) is indicated in treatment lower urinary tract dysfunction. Aim this study was to evaluate LL-SEP patients with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) treated by means PTNS.Sixteen female a diagnosis pharmacoresistant OAB underwent PTNS while eight same sham stimulation. were performed at baseline and end or Peak latency peak amplitude P80,...
Background Neurogenic bladder dysfunction represents one of the most common and devastating sequelae traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). As early prediction outcomes is essential to counsel patients plan neurourological management, we aimed develop validate a model predict urinary continence complete emptying 1 y after SCI. Methods Findings Using multivariate logistic regression analysis from data 1,250 with SCI included in European Multicenter Spinal Cord Injury study, developed two models...
Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate urodynamic changes after percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for the treatment complaints related overactive bladder syndrome and search urodynamic‐based predictive factors. Methods Ninety consecutive patients with symptoms were enrolled in study. Patients underwent 12 PTNS sessions. For evaluating objective success, primary outcome measure a reduction number urinary leakage episodes 50% or more per 24 hours. Patients' request...

We tested the effects of 5-Hz rTMS over motor cortex in multiple sclerosis (MS) subjects complaining lower urinary tract symptoms either filling or voiding phase. Our data show that stimulation for five consecutive days two weeks ameliorates phase micturition cycle, suggesting enhancing corticospinal excitability might be useful to ameliorate detrusor contraction and/or urethral sphincter relaxation MS patients with bladder dysfunction.
Currently, men are younger at the time of diagnosis prostate cancer and more interested in less invasive surgical approaches (traditional laparoscopy, 3D-laparoscopy, robotics). Outcomes continence, erectile function, cure, positive margins complication well collected pentafecta rate. However, no comparative studies between 4th generation 3D-HD vision system laparoscopy standard bi-dimensional have been reported. This study aimed to compare operative, perioperative data rates 2D 3D...
Abstract Objectives To determine urodynamic changes and predictive factors in patients with voiding dysfunction who underwent 12 percutaneous tibial nerve stimulations. Methods Thirty nine chronic were enrolled a prospective multicenter trial the Netherlands (n = 19) Italy 20). A 50% reduction total catheterised volume per 24 hr was taken as primary objective outcome measure. Patients' request for continuation of treatment regarded subjective success.
