AIMS Urodynamic studies (UDS) are generally recommended prior to surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), despite insufficient evidence that it impacts treatment plans or outcomes in patients with uncomplicated SUI. This analysis aimed to calculate the cost incurred when UDS was performed as a supplement to a basic office evaluation and to extrapolate the potential savings of n...

PURPOSE In this study we identify the characteristics of the urodynamic results in patients with painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis and in those with idiopathic overactive bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS The fluoroscopic urodynamic study results were analyzed retrospectively in 40 consecutive female patients with painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis and 78 female patients...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A injections in the detrusor muscle in patients with spinal cord injury and urinary incontinence due to detrusor overactivity and refractory to anticholinergic agents. Materials and Methods: We prospectively evaluated 22 patients with spinal cord injuries, whose bladders were emptied by intermittent catheterization. All patients had detr...

Objective: Tolterodine has proved effective for treating non-neurogenic overactive bladder in Paediatric patients but has been less well studied in children with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The objective of the current study was to look for incremental benefits of tolterodine (if any) in patients who are already being treated with oxybutynin. Methods: Patients with neurogenic bladder who ...

AIMS To develop and validate a scale that is applicable in Belgium to investigate the aspects of female patients' satisfaction with urodynamic consultation, and to use it to measure the impact of a detailed explanatory leaflet on their satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Question items were obtained from a group consensus (Delphi process). Each item was scored on a five-point Likert scale. Th...

PURPOSE Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is one of the most common lower urinary tract symptoms in women. We analyzed age-associated changes in urodynamic parameters in women with SUI. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the urodynamic study (UDS) results of patients with urodynamically proven SUI between March 2008 and July 2014. In uroflowmetry, maximal flow rate (Qmax), time to Qmax, voided...

OBJECTIVES To review the quality of urodynamic studies performed in one Center in order to assess adherence to the ICS Good Urodynamic Practice Guidelines. METHODS Sixty-two consecutive urodynamic studies performed between March 2012 and May 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. We followed a list of common features to analyze all records. RESULTS 10.17% of the studies showed a significant dr...

PURPOSE To investigate the risk factors in women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence (USTIC) at a Turkish tertiary referral center. MATERIALS AND METHODS The urodynamic records of 3038 consecutive women were analyzed between 1990 and 2011. The patients who had etiological factor of neurologic disease were excluded. There were 1187 women who had USTIC after urodynamic investigation and...
