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...

To ascertain the relationship between the clinical neurological level, and bladder and sphincter behavior, the video-urodynamic studies of 489 patients with spinal cord lesions due to a variety of causes were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified based on the clinical neurological level, etiology of the lesion and presence or absence of signs of sacral cord involvement. Urodynamic ...

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...

The aim of this study was to determine whether abnormal serum levels of magnesium and calcium occur in women with detrusor overactivity. These were compared with the serum level of magnesium and calcium ions in women with urodynamic stress incontinence as controls to see whether alteration of these levels offer a further therapeutic option. The study included 20 women with urodynamically proven...

The present study aimed to report the urodynamic data from 46 male patients who underwent an orthotopic N-shaped neobladder replacement following a radical cystectomy during a 12-month period and to provide urodynamic evidence for the improvement of this technique. A total of 46 consecutive male patients underwent a radical cystectomy and orthotopic N-shaped neobladder substitution due to muscl...

PURPOSE To investigate the role of urodynamic study (UDS) in female patients with overactive bladder (OAB) analyzing the relationship between OAB symptoms and female voiding dysfunction (FVD). MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the clinical and urodynamic data of 163 women with OAB symptoms. OAB symptoms were categorized as dry and wet. FVD was described as detrusor underactivity (DUA), which ...

We assessed several emotional variables in patients experiencing conventional urodynamic and ambulatory urodynamic monitoring (AUM) to verify the hypothesis that AUM is tolerated as well as conventional urodynamics. A total of 33 women and 7 men from 23 to 72 years of age who were undergoing both procedures were prospectively included in this study. Prior to and immediately after the procedures...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the preoperative factors related to early quality of life (QoL) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) during the surgeon's learning curve. METHODS The medical records of 82 patients with a follow-up period of at least 3 months who were treated with HoLEP during the time of a surgeo...

The normal voiding pattern and bladder dysfunction including neurogenic and non-neurogenic bladder, nocturnal enuresis and the relation between constipation and the bladder dysfunction has been reviewed in this paper. The dynamic property of lower urinary tract is complex as mature bladder function takes place in growth of the child. Recent studies have shown that cortical centre is responsible...
