Stress Incontinence

Results of Adjustable Trans-Obturator Male System for Stress Urinary Incontinence after Transurethral Resection or Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate: International Multicenter Study.

Background: Male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after surgical treatment of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) is an infrequent but dreadful complication and constitutes a therapeutic challenge. The efficacy and safety of the adjustable trans-obturator male system (ATOMS®) in these patients is rather unknown, mainly due to the rarity of this condition.

Single Incision Sling Surgery for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Retrospective Cohort Single-Institution Study.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affects around 35% of adult women and has a significant impact on quality of life. A single incision sling (SIS), such as Altis®, was introduced to improve original slings and avoid complications.

Comparative Efficacy of TVT-A and TVT-O in the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Elderly Women: Single-Centre Retrospective Study.

Supporting the Choice for Conservative and Surgical Treatment in Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: Development and Evaluation of a Patient Decision Aid.

Making a treatment decision for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) can be challenging for patients and healthcare providers. Dutch guidelines advise to counsel both pelvic floor muscle therapy and midurethral sling surgery as primary treatment options in uncomplicated moderate to severe cases.

A brief physiology and pathophysiology of the bladder.

The remit of this review is confined to experimental works and publications relevant to the integral theory of female urinary incontinence (IT). Since its first publication in 1990, the IT has challenged the general view that the pathogenesis of overactive bladder (OAB) (urge, frequency, nocturia) is unknown and there is no cure.

A Single Injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Females: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial - Beyond the Abstract

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is prevalent and can negatively affect one’s quality of life. Conservative treatment includes lifestyle interventions, pelvic floor muscle training, and incontinence pessaries. Procedural treatment includes periurethral bulking, colposuspension, fascial sling, or mesh mid-urethral sling, with many experts considering mesh-midurethral sling as the gold standard for procedural treatment of SUI. While mesh mid-urethral slings are overall a safe and effective treatment for SUI, it is not a risk-free procedure. Patients must be counseled on the risks of bleeding, visceral injury, voiding dysfunction, urinary retention, chronic pain, and mesh-related complications.

Mitigating infections in implantable urological continence devices: risks, challenges, solutions, and future innovations. A comprehensive literature review.

Stress urinary incontinence is a growing issue in ageing men, often following treatment for prostate cancer or bladder outflow obstruction. While implantable urological devices offer relief, infections are a significant concern.

Association between Life's essential 8 and stress urinary incontinence in women from the National Health and nutrition examination survey 2005-2018: A cross-sectional study.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may be associated with cardiovascular disease. Life's Essential 8 (LE8), a recently updated measure of cardiovascular health (CVH), has been investigated for its association with SUI in women.

De novo urethral hypermobility at 6 months after first delivery as a risk factor for stress urinary incontinence 12 years postpartum.

The aim of the study was to analyze the association between de novo urethral hypermobility 6 months postpartum and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms at 6 months and 12 years after first delivery.

Where are we in 2024 in the development of materials for surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence?

There is a long history of implantation of absorbable and nonabsorbable materials to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The focus of this review is to review the development of new materials for use in the surgical management of both pelvic conditions following an unacceptable level of severe complications in the use of polypropylene mesh (PPM).

Causal association between depression and stress urinary incontinence: A two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

To investigate the causal correlation between depression and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

We searched the FinnGen Consortium database for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on depression and obtained 23 424 case samples and 192 220 control samples, with the GWAS data on SUI provided by the UK Biobank, including 4 340 case samples and 458 670 control samples.

The Impact of External Sphincter Grading After Early Apical Release Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate on Postoperative Stress Urinary Incontinence.

Postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) has improved with the early apical release (EAR) technique. However, some patients develop SUI despite using EAR HoLEP.

Postoperative PFME versus PFME alone for moderate SUI in pre-menopause women and influencing factors: a comparative effectiveness study.

To explore the effectiveness of sling surgery followed by pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) or PFME alone for moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women and its influencing factors.

This is a prospective observational cohort study investigating whether sling surgery or PFME is preferred for pre-menopause women with moderate uncomplicated SUI.

Enhancing Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Efficacy for Middle-Aged Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence Through Square Dance Integration: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is effectively managed through pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), yet poor adherence often undermines its efficacy. Given square dancing's popularity among middle-aged women, its integration with PFMT could potentially increase patient compliance.

Associations between running mechanics, functional lower extremity strength, and stress urinary incontinence in parous female runners.

Women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may have altered running mechanics and reduced hip muscle strength compared to women without SUI. Little research has examined running metrics and functional lower extremity strength of parous runners.

Pelvic floor muscle training in women with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse: A protocol study.

To evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function and quality of life (QoL) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP).

Macroplastique Is a Safe and Effective Long-term Surgical Treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence: Prospective Study with 10-Year Follow-up.

Until a few years ago, a midurethral sling was considered the gold standard for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after failure of conservative therapies. However, criticisms regarding the rate of mesh exposure and lack of long-term efficacy have led to reconsideration of other surgical procedures.

Comparison of the effects of pelvic floor muscle training and modified pilates exercises in elderly women with stress urinary incontinence: A randomized clinical trial.

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and modified pilates exercises (MPE) in elderly women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Both randomized groups [Group 1: PFMT (n = 17), Group 2: MPE (n = 17)] performed their exercises twice a week for 12 weeks.

Enhancing the autologous fascial sling procedure: A novel fixation method for treating stress urinary incontinence in female patients.

Synthetic mid-urethral sling surgery has long been the standard surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) worldwide. Using an autologous fascial sling is an alternative to reduce adverse events.

Towards a minimum data set for the female stress urinary incontinence surgical literature: a collaborative work from Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction, American Urogynecologic Society, and International Continence

There has been a need for an acceptable common minimum data set in the scientific literature as regards the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Such a data set, if widely adopted, would improve the quality of the literature and allow objective comparisons between and across interventions.
