INTRODUCTION Aponeurotic sling surgeries can evolve with obstruction or voiding dysfunction in 5 to 20% of patients. There are few studies on factors that could possibly predispose to voiding difficulties or urinary retention. The objective of this work is to identify these potential clinical or urodynamic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Records from 130 patients who underwent aponeurotic slin...

Labial adhesion (LA) is a rare clinical entity in postmenopausal women. Estrogen deficiency and lack of sexual activity are probable contributing causes. Voiding dysfunction due to LA is even rarer in postmenopausal women, and only a few studies have previously reported such occurrence. A 62-year-old virgin postmenopausal woman presented to the Al-Zahra Hospital (Isfahan, Iran) with a 5-year hi...

OBJECTIVE To determine the functional outcomes after synthetic sling revision surgery performed for voiding dysfunction. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of 63 women who underwent surgical revision of a synthetic sling (SS) over an 11 year period between 2000 and 2010 inclusive, for the treatment of voiding dysfunction. Voiding dysfunction was defined as a persistently raised post-void res...

Data concerning learned voiding dysfunction (Hinman syndrome; non-neurogenic, neurogenic bladder) in adults are scarce. The present study was conducted to assess the pre-valence and clinical characteristics of this dysfunction among adults referred for evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms. Learned voiding dysfunction was suggested by a characteristic clinical history and intermittent "fre...

Objective: To prospectively assess the prevalence of vesicourethral dysfunction in children over 3 years old, comparing it with the occurrence rate for other potential factors that cause urinary infection in this age range. Materials and Methods: 36 girls and 9 boys were assessed, with mean age of 6.4 years, ranging from 3 to 13.9 years. These children were prospectively assessed regarding the ...

Aims of Study Early postpartum voiding dysfunction is quite common, and was reported to be associated with prolonged labor, instrumental deliveries and epidural analgesia. Although most cases are self-limited, unrecognized voiding dysfunction and mismanagement may lead to recurrent urinary tract infections, upper urinary tract damage and permanent voiding difficulties. Yet, there are neither st...

PURPOSE We investigated the etiologies of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and compared urodynamic characteristics between different diagnostic groups in young men with chronic LUTS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 308 men aged 18 to 50 years who had undergone a urodynamic study for chronic LUTS (≥6 months) without symptoms suggestive of chronic prostatitis.
