Filter by:Stress urinary incontinence is common in women. the treatment of this condition is surgery. investigators add stress incontinence surgery to patients who undergo total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign reasons. Depending on the patient's general condition and indications, the operation can be performed by vaginal approach, as well as mid-urethral sling operations and laparoscopic burch colposuspension. The researchers aimed to compare these two types of operations performed on patients. In this way, the superiority and disadvantage of each other in two procedures will be demonstrated.
Patient counseling is an essential part of any new treatment implementation. This process becomes even more important when it involves surgical counseling. This is when the patient and the surgeon discuss the possible surgical options and ideally establish a plan for the appropriate surgical intervention. Unfortunately, multiple studies have shown that patients tend to have poor recall of the key elements discussed during the consultation (1-3). In the investigators' experience, the concern lies specifically in the level of recall that patients have regarding their planned surgical procedure, as most patients cannot correctly state the planned intervention despite extensive counseling and explanation. Lack of knowledge about the type of surgery can have serious implications for the patient in the future. For example, knowing facts like the presence or absence of the cervix and whether future pap smears are needed or the presence of an implant, such as a mesh are necessary for the patient's well-being and proper medical care down the line, especially when the patient has multiple medical providers. In addition, previous research has demonstrated that low-quality counseling and the feeling of being "unprepared for surgery" directly correlate with patient dissatisfaction (4). This is especially relevant in the field of female pelvic reconstructive surgery, where the success of surgical interventions relies heavily upon subjective patient-reported outcomes (5). There have been many studies to augment the counseling process using supplemental materials. These have included use of multiple visual charts, anatomical models, and passive and interactive audiovisual aids (6). Some improvement in the outcomes has been observed in various fields of medicine with the dissemination of supplemental patient resources (7-10). However, in urogynecology, the effectiveness of surgical counseling sessions has not been achieved despite the different additional methods for patient education (6, 11). Reasons that urogynecologic supplemental materials have not seen the same level of success as those in other fields of medicine include the complexity of the surgeries and the language used in many of these educational aids (12). The investigators aim to address the problem of poor patient recall of their procedure by providing them with an easy-to-read patient card detailing the anticipated surgery at the time of their consult.
The aim of the present study was to examine balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling in MS patients with incontinence. Clinical symptoms of the MS patients are heterogenous, and they vary according to the lesion levels and the duration and the type of the disease. In the neurologic group,especially in MS patients, incontinence is observed even at early stages. Pelvic floor muscles contribute to continence by stabilizing the bladder neck and increasing the intraurethral pressure. Furthermore, they mechanically support the spine and the pelvis.This mechanical support is attained through an increase in sacroiliac joint stiffness and intra-abdominal pressure changes, which are important for spinal control. Along with incontinence, this mechanical support deteriorates resulting in some problems. By this way, postural function of pelvic floor muscles may alter in individuals with incontinence, and thus, lumbopelvic stabilization may be negatively affected. In addition, the activity of trunk muscles changes in individuals with incontinence, which may result in spinal movement and affect the posture. Therefore, balance disorders may develop. Postural sways caused by balance disorders and the decrease in postural corrections have been listed among risk the factors associated with falling. When literature is examined, there exists no study examining the effects of incontinence on balance, trunk impairment, and fear of falling in MS patients. For all these reasons, investigators think that incontinence in MS patients has an effect on balance, trunk impairment, and fear of fall.
Stress urinary incontinence surgery combined with hysterectomy can often be applied to patients in the same session. The aim of this study was to determine which urinary incontinence surgery would be a better option for patients who would have hysterectomy. The aim of this study was to retrospectively review the data of 69 patients between the ages of 2014 and 2017 who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy and anti-incontinence surgery (TOT and Burch) for benign indications (uterine pathology) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In addition to demographic data and preoperative examination findings, operative times, postoperative hemogram values, postvoiding residual amounts and complications were examined. In addition, FSI test results of women with sexual activity were compared with ICIQ-UI and UDI-6 interrogations related to urinary incontinence.
The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) following female incontinence surgery ranges between 6-48%. The literature has shown mixed results of the therapeutic efficacy of cranberry extract to prevent UTI in females, with some promising preliminary work in the prevention of UTI's following gynecologic surgery. The researchers will conduct a study of the effect of cranberry extracts on preventing urinary tract infections following mid urethral slings, which are the most common urinary incontinence procedures.
Investigators will conduct a single-arm pre-post intervention pilot study in 46 older women with Fecal Incontinence (FI), also known as Accidental Bowel Leakage (ABL). FI symptoms and stool metabolites will be measured at baseline. Intervention with the Diet Modification Program (DMP) will be administered. FI symptoms and stool metabolites will be measured after 6weeks of the intervention.
A randomized controlled trial to assess clinically the efficacy of the selective ileum spasmolytic mebeverine on daytime incontinence and nocturnal enuresis of orthotopic w-ileal neobladders and quality of life effect within 1 year post-surgery.
This is research in which students are queried by questionnaires on their satisfaction with and experience with certain educational practices (use of a camera image projecting during a live surgery) or with pre-recorded video. As data collection only involves survey data collection and satisfaction with an educational experience, and randomization/intervention is only involving use of one type of educational method versus another .
The purpose of this study is to see what effects sacral neuromodulation has on bladder function and quality of life in patients with acute spinal cord injury. Within 12-weeks of injury, participants will either receive an implanted nerve stimulator (like a pace-maker for the bladder) or standard care for neurogenic bladder. Patients will be assigned to one of these groups at random and followed for one year. The hypothesis is that early stimulation of the nerves will help prevent the development of neurogenic bladder.
This study is designed to evaluate men before radical prostatectomy for the incidence of Overactive Bladder (OAB), as well as urge urine incontinence (UUI) development after the surgery. Patients will be evaluated for signs of OAB and for signs of Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO). Afterwards they will be divided into four observational groups. Follow up period is designed to be 12 months.
