Middle-aged men presenting with symptoms of voiding dysfunction are often misdiagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stenosis or neurogenic bladder. Here, we report a rare case of a 46-year-old man with a chief complaint of continually voiding dysfunction, diagnosed with giant multilocular prostatic cysts. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed multiple and large multilocular prost...

Hypothesis / aims of study No effective treatment for voiding dysfunction due to underactive detrusor is available anywhere in the world. Distigmine bromide is an anticholinesterase that inhibits acetylcholine breakdown by acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and cholinesterase (ChE) at neuromuscular junctions. The inhibition of Ach breakdown prolongs its action at nerve endings and its ability to act o...

BACKGROUND Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) is the gold standard of detecting and grading the vesicoureteral reflux. Moreover, VCUG is a part of the standard review for infants and children with a urinary tract infection and urinary dysfunction. OBJECTIVES The purpose of our study was to compare using oral midazolam in contrast to prescribing no sedative medication for voiding dysfunction in...

Midurethral slings have become the most popular surgical procedure for the correction of stress urinary incontinence in women. Urinary retention or obstructive voiding symptoms may arise from partial urethral obstruction as a result of oversuspension of the urethra or exaggerated tension. Fortunately, most cases of voiding dysfunction are transient and resolve spontaneously within days. Clean i...

Hypothesis / aims of study Spinal cord injury (SCI) rostral to the lumbosacral level eliminates voluntary and supraspinal control of voiding, leading initially to areflexic bladder and urinary retention, and then to a development of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) such as detrusor overactivity (DO) and inefficient voiding due to detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD). Although m...

Recurring priapism is rare in pre-pubertal children and may be attributed to multiple causes. We propose that voiding dysfunction (VD) may also justify this symptom and detail a clinical case of recurring stuttering priapism associated to overactive bladder that completely resolved after usage of anticholinergics and urotherapy. Sacral parasympathetic activity is responsible for detrusor contra...

PURPOSE To review the evolution of the technique of hypospadias repair. METHODS A search of Pubmed, Medline and the Journal of Pediatric Urology was performed, and papers dealing with surgical techniques for hypospadias repair were critally reviewed. Special emphasis was given to papers on the effects in the long term of hypospadias repair on voiding and sexual dysfunction. RESULTS The tech...
