BACKGROUND We have observed different clinical responses to botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) in patients who had similar urodynamic parameters before the procedure. Furthermore, some bladders evaluated by cystography and cystoscopy during the procedure had different characteristics that could influence the outcome of the treatment. The aim of this study was to assess whether cystography and urodynamic...

PURPOSE Underactive bladder is a complex clinical condition that remains poorly understood due to limited literature. This study aimed to determine its prevalence among patients with voiding dysfunction, presenting symptoms, risk factors, urodynamic findings, and ongoing treatment. METHODS A retrospective chart review of consecutive urodynamic studies performed on voiding dysfunction between ...

conclusions urodynamic studies in children should be performed in preferred voiding position for each kid considering the culture and voiding habits. unfamiliar voiding position may turn the uroflowmetry to a stressful experience for child that make him uncooperative and cause misleading results. results comparison of uroflowmetric indexes between different genders and voiding positions showed ...

OBJECTIVES: Underactive bladder (UAB) and detrusor underactivity (DU) are receiving increasing clinical and research attention. Although lacking a formalized definition, UAB is described as a symptom complex, while DU is a standardized statement of urodynamic function. Both terms nominally suggest impaired detrusor contractility leading to disordered emptying. We sought to evaluate the relation...

OBJECTIVES To describe our experiences with a continuous quality improvement process for the standardization of multicenter urodynamic studies (UDSs) in a multi-institutional network. Multicenter UDSs can have considerable variations in testing procedures, training, equipment, and reviewer biases. METHODS A quality control process was developed that included protocol development, certificatio...

Objective: The study aimed to report the incidence of CSF leakage in patients with a tethered spinal cord, post-operatively. Materials and Methods: A total 75 individuals aged more than 2 years either gender who were hospitalized for surgery cord syndrome included. All had preoperative MRI spine, those above age 6 urodynamic tests. Clinical evaluations performed until hospital release, then aga...
