Materials and Methods: Women with SUI underwent MUS by various procedures [tension-free vaginal tape (TVTR), tension-free vaginal tap...

OBJECTIVES To estimate the predictive value of diurnal voiding symptoms for the diagnosis of bladder dysfunction in enuretic children and teenagers receiving care at Fernandes Figueira Institute (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). METHODS From June 1999 to May 2002, 91 patients (aged 5-17 years) with enuresis, both monosymptomatic and polysymptomatic, were assessed based on medical history, voiding cha...

This study was undertaken to identify risk factors for postoperative voiding dysfunction and factors having impact on patient global satisfaction after a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure. Two hundred and eighty-five women who underwent the TVT procedure for stress urinary incontinence were analyzed to identify risk factors predictive of voiding dysfunction. Postoperative voiding dysfun...

To identify the frequency of voiding dysfunction in patients with functional constipation, dysfunctional voiding soring system (DVSS) was surveyed in 85 patients with functional constipation. Urinalysis, culture and renal ultrasound were performed in all cases. If the child had urinary tract infection, voiding cystourethrography and DMSA scan were performed. Fifty four patients (63.5%) out of 8...

PURPOSE To identify the predictive factors for voiding dysfunction after transobturator slings. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients who underwent a transobturator sling between March 2003 and December 2008. A total of 514 women had available data with at least a six-week follow-up. Patients' demographics, preoperative symptoms, urodynamic testing including multicha...

BACKGROUND Urethral dilation has been recommended to treat voiding dysfunction that may occur after placement of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. We report on a case of urethral erosion by the tape secondary to repetitive urethral dilations after surgery. CASE A urethral erosion by the tape was diagnosed by cystoscopy after three urethral dilat...
