Filter by:Observatory of Materiovigilance After Surgery of Urinary Incontinence or Prolapse in Women Implantable medical devices (meshes) used in pelvic organ prolapse surgery (genital prolapse, rectal prolapse), or incontinence surgery may be source of severe complications.
The investigators goal is to develop medical treatments for stress/mixed urinary incontinence. Sildenafil has been shown to improve blood flow as well as muscle mass and strength and to decrease muscle fatigue. The investigators believe that it will improve muscular atrophy in the pelvic floor, thus improving symptoms of urinary incontinence related to pelvic floor dysfunction.
This will be a prospective collection of pre-defined parameters on the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence by an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) and male sling. The data collection will be undertaken from multiple centers in Europe. The participation will be by open invitation to all members of the Female & Functional Section of the EAU (ESFFU) along with other urologists undertaking these procedures. There will be a call via the European Association of urology (EAU) to all European Urologists to register for database entry. There will be no restriction on the number of patients enrolled as long as they are consecutive. The aim is to have a long term collection of the data set from as many centers as possible. An initial assessment for the robustness of the data collection will be undertaken at 3 months by a nominated steering committee. However, the first clinical evaluation of the data collected will commence at 1 year by the steering committee. Thereafter, the evaluations will be performed after every 2 years.
Concurrent treatment of endometrial cancer and SUI may improve QOL, emotional and physical health and decrease costs for both patients and the health care system. At the time of endometrial cancer diagnosis, not only are women evaluated by a gynecologist and/or a gynecologic oncologist, but the majority will undergo surgery within weeks of their diagnosis. Thus, urinary incontinence could easily be identified, a referral made, and concurrent surgery performed. This would spare the patient two surgeries, decrease the emotional distress associated with SUI symptoms, decrease the costs associated with SUI for the patient and possibly improve overall quality of life. The proposed study will compare the quality of life and clinical outcomes among women with endometrial cancer and SUI that have concurrent surgery to women that do not have concurrent surgery. The findings of our proposed research will provide valuable information necessary for woman and clinicians to make decisions regarding the treatment of SUI, including evidence regarding the risks and benefits of performing concurrent endometrial cancer and SUI surgery.
One out of three adult females suffer from daily urinary incontinence. Two thirds of urinary incontinence is physical activity-related stress urinary incontinence (SUI). If the first-line treatment for SUI, training of pelvic floor muscles, is insufficient, treatment options are suburethral sling operation or transurethral bulking injection. Randomized studies between TVT and Bulkamid® and the knowledge about cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction is missing. This prospective randomized study compares TVT and Bulkamid®-injections in treatment of SUI. Main outcome measures are patient satisfaction, complications and effectiveness of the treatment in reducing urinary leakage. Secondary outcome measures are cost-effectiveness, pain during and after treatment and changes in Quality of Life and symptoms.
Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a condition that affects most women in her adult life; it is considered a public health problem and has a high negative impact on the quality of life. Physical therapy is considered as the first treatment option for this disease, these treatments are done with pelvic floor muscles exercises (kinesiotherapy) with or without the use of other resources such as biofeedback, electrical stimulation and vaginal cones. Rationale: The protocols used in the various studies on the treatment of urinary incontinence are made with only one type of therapy and have no change in the intensity of the exercises. The "Active Perineal Rehabilitation" protocol uses kinesiotherapy with biofeedback, electrical stimulation, vaginal cones and home exercises; it consists of 14 individual sessions that gradually evolve the intensity of exercises. Objective: To assess the scientific validity of "Active Perineal Rehabilitation" protocol for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Methodology: A multicenter, prospective clinical trial, controlled and randomized, the sample will be divided into a study group that will be treated with the Active Perineal Rehabilitation protocol, and a control group will be treated with the protocol already widely used.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of intraoperative nerve monitoring during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy surgery improves post-surgery urinary continence and erectile function.
