SUI Articles

There is no consensus between urologists on the diagnosis and treatment of female urethral diverticula. Once the diagnosis has been established, the most common treatment approach is surgical excision and reconstruction.

This was an observational study aiming to determine factors which influence women's choice of surgery for primary stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Two hundred twelve women undergoing a primary SUI procedure were recruited to this study from 12 hospitals in the north of England.

To determine the usefulness of mid-urethral slings (MUS) in the surgical management of women presenting with urinary stress incontinence (USI) METHOD: A consensus committee of multidisciplinary experts (CUROPF) was convened and focused on PICO questions concerning the efficacy and safety of MUS surgery compared to other procedures and concerning which approach (retropubic (RP) vs transobturator (TO)) should be proposed as a first-line MUS surgery for specific subpopulations (obese; intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD); elderly) RESULTS: As compared to other procedures (urethral bulking agents, traditional slings and open colposuspension), the MUS procedure should be proposed as the first-line surgical therapy (strong agreement).

Current treatment strategies for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) raise concerns about safety and efficacy. The purpose of this systematic review was to present available evidence related to vaginal laser therapy as a treatment option for SUI.

To provide a brief anatomical pathogenesis of the Working Group SUI publication recommendations.

The anatomical science and surgical practice presented here formed the original basis for the MUS and other bladder dysfunctions, updated to 2024 with videos: https://atm.

To investigate the association between urodynamic findings and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) before and after surgical treatment of POP.

Seventy-four patients with stage II or more anterior POP associated with LUTS and eligible for surgical repair of POP were included in this prospective study.

To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of the transobturator sling with the single-incision sling, for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence at a long-term follow-up.

From October 2008 to October 2010, 94 patients who were enrolled and underwent either TVT-O, one of standard mid-urethral sling or TVT-S, one of single-incision mini-sling (SIMS) procedure.

Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the first-line treatment for urinary incontinence, but adherence to PFMT is generally poor. Currently, a number of novel strategies exist to facilitate adherence of PFMT.

To compare long term outcomes and erosion rates of 3.5 cm artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) cuffs versus larger cuffs among men with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), with and without a history of pelvic radiation.

This study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of patient preferences and clinical outcomes associated with two surgical techniques for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI): the transobturator suburethral sling (TOT) procedure and the pubourethral ligament plication (PUL) procedure.

Hundreds of millions of women suffer from pelvic floor disorders globally, often in silence. Women in developing countries do not disclose their problems due to associated social stigma or lack of access to services.

Stress urine incontinence (SUI) is most common in middle-aged women and the second most common in those over 75. SUI causes significant discomfort and suffering for patients and has a considerable financial impact on the healthcare system.

To perform a post hoc analysis of the outcome data from a phase III study of a novel incontinence therapy for female stress incontinence (SUI) and to understand the pitfalls inherent to performing trials in SUI.

Objectives: Transobturator tape (TOT) procedures are a widely used and effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), but there is limited research on mesh-related complications and revision surgeries.

To determine the subjective and objective cure rate of a urethral stabilization procedure (USP) for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women; to describe this new surgical intervention; to record its potential complications; to establish the SUI etiology.

Midurethral sling (MUS) surgeries are minimally invasive procedures; however, they are not free of postoperative complications. The aim of the study was to assess the occurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (urgency, nocturia, frequency, splitting/spraying, hesitancy, terminal dribbling, and subjective feeling of postvoid residual) in patients suffering from stress (SUI) or mixed (MUI) urinary incontinence with a predominant SUI component before and after transobturator MUS placement.

To evaluate the evidence available on the effects and safety of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) versus transobturator tape (TOT) for female stress urinary incontinence therapy based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

To avoid complications related to mid-urethral slings (MUS), alternative procedures to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI), such as urethral bulking agents (UBAs) have been adopted. The aim of this review is to narratively report the efficacy and safety of UBAs for SUI treatment.

Urethral bulking agents (UBAs) to treat stress urinary incontinence was first described in the 1930s, when paraffin was used to increase urethral resistance. Since then, several agents have been introduced to the market, with varying degrees of safety, efficacy, and durability.

Background and Objectives: Insufficient connective urethra and bladder support related to childbirth and menopausal estrogen decrease leads to stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The aim of this review is to narratively report the efficacy and safety of new mini-invasive solutions for SUI treatment as laser energy devices, in particular, the microablative fractional carbon dioxide laser and the non-ablative Erbium-YAG laser.
