CONTEXT This review focuses on the contemporary role of antimuscarinics in the management of men with symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and concomitant overactive bladder (OAB). Safety issues of antimuscarinics in this subpopulation of men are also reviewed. OBJECTIVE We reviewed the current literature and performed an analysis of the efficacy, suitability, and the safety of antimu...

INTRODUCTION Bladder emptying in crouching position is a conventional way in many eastern countries. Our aim was to evaluate uroflowmetry parameters as an index of obstruction severity in standing and crouching positions and comparison of them in patients with bladder outlet obstruction symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Uroflowmetry in standing and crouching positions was done in 83 patients wi...

Bladder stones in men are thought to be almost exclusively due to outflow obstruction. We studied the incidence of operations for urinary outflow obstruction and bladder stone to establish the relationship between these two conditions in Kelantan. In only 48 (31%) of 154 men undergoing removal of bladder stones was a procedure for outflow obstruction performed. Thus the remaining 69% had no cli...

PURPOSE To identify the prevalence and clinical features of detrusor underactivity (DU) in elderly men and women presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 1,179 patients aged over 65 years who had undergone a urodynamic study for LUTS with no neurological or anatomical conditions. DU was defined as a bladder contractility index <100 and a maximal f...

Giant bladder stone causing renal failure in pediatric age group is a rare clinical entity. It occurs due to negligence to seek medical advice in poor socio-economic group. It occurs due to bladder changes and blockade of both ureteric orifices due to large size of bladder stone. This clinical situation mimics like bladder outlet obstruction. Urgent surgical exploration is necessary to prevent ...

Chronic urinary retention (CUR) secondary to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in spite of being a frequently encountered clinical problem, there are lacunae in the understanding of its patho mechanisms and management protocols in humans. International Continence Society defined CUR as “a non-painful bladder, which remains palpable or percussible after the patient has passed urine” [1]. However ...

Urinary retention in young children and infancy is relatively rare. The commonest malignancy cause of bladder outlet obstruction in infancy is prostatic rhabdomyosarcoma; the commonest cause of congenital bladder outlet obstruction in a male infantis posterior urethral valve and the commonest cause of urethral obstruction in male children is urethral calculi. We present here a report on three c...

The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and etiology of repeated bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) after kidney transplantation and to analyze the results of transurethral incision of the prostate/transurethral resection of the prostate (TUIP/TURP) in the early period after kidney transplantation. The study included 24 male patients having undergone renal transplantation and early trans...
