Filter by:Stress urinary incontinence affects millions of women worldwide and has a profound impact on the quality of life of older individuals, their subjective health status, levels of depression and need for care. Midurethral sling placement was introduced in 1995 and remains the current gold standard for surgical management of SUI. Although the advantages of midurethral sling surgery include its high success and minimally invasive approach, approximately 10-50% of women experience acute postoperative urinary retention and are subsequently sent home with an indwelling foley catheter or clean intermittent self catheterization. Urinary retention is anxiety provoking for most patients and adds morbidity, cost, and increased utilization of healthcare resources. Additionally, catheterization of the urinary tract results in increased risk of urinary tract infection and potential need for antibiotics. Several recent studies have reported varying rates of postoperative voiding trial success depending on the type of local anesthetic used for hydrodissection; however the data is sparse and invites a more thorough investigation. Furthermore, to the investigators knowledge, no studies have systematically explored dosage or type of agent used intraoperatively on postoperative voiding function. Based on the preliminary data, the investigators hypothesize that patients receiving normal saline compared to a local anesthetic (e.g., lidocaine) will have a reduction in duration of postoperative urinary retention following retropubic midurethral sling placement.
Postpartum urinary retention is an uncommon complication of the vaginal delivery. Failure to diagnose it may have a real impact both on the urinary plane but also on the psychological level. The hypothesis is that the identification of risk factors for the emergence of acute urinary retention would allow preventive management. The investigator conducted a retrospective, comparative, case-control study, including 2 groups of 96 patients who have had a vaginal delivery in the department between 2011 and 2015. The first group included patients with postpartum acute urinary retention (PAUR). The second group, control group, without PAUR, was selected randomly, respecting a 1:1 matching criteria, including the year of delivery and the age of the patient at delivery. The goal was to identify the potential risk factors of post-partum acute urinary retention in order to define a better prevention.
A prospective randomized control trial will be conducted at Good Samaritan Hospital and TriHealth Evendale Hospital. Subjects will receive total hip or knee surgery and follow-up via standard care at the discretion of the treating physician or the experimental study arm in which all patients will undergo the integrated care pathway.
The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. It is a sterile, extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract for an intended use life of up to 7 days per catheter.
This will be a randomized controlled study which will compare the rate of post-operative urinary retention after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair between patients who receive an intra-operative urinary catheter and those who do not. The primary aim of the study is to determine if the use of intra-operative urinary catheter reduces the incidence of post-operative urinary retention after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Specific patient inclusion criteria include all patients aged 18 years or older presenting for an elective unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernia repair, who are able to tolerate general anesthesia and are considered eligible to have a hernia repair through a laparoscopic approach.
The goal of this cross-sectional, multicentric and descriptive epidemiological study is to assess the prevalence of chronic urinary retention (CUR) in elderly living in residential care for dependent elderly people in order to determine if there is an interest in offering them a bladder scan screening.
This study is randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial to access oral Methenamine Hippurate (MH) in combination with cranberry capsules is superior to cranberry capsules alone in prevention of UTI in patients with transient post-operative urinary retention requiring a Foley catheter after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
Various studies have shown that the risk of suffering a urinary retention after knee or hip prosthesis surgery is 10-80%. The aim of the study is to reduce this riks. For this purpose, it is investigated whether a previously known drug (tamsulosin) which is used in bladder emptying disorders, can achieve a reduction in urinary retention after surgery. After the patients agree to participate in the study, they are examined in our urological clinic. Uroflowmetry is performed with sonographic residual volume measurement and prostate volume measurement. Furthermore, a standardized Voiding questionaire (IPSS) is completed. This study is conducted as a double-blind study using a placebo control group. The drug / placebo is taken once a day, five days before and two days after surgery. Subsequently, it is observed whether it comes to a urinary retention or not. After the operation, no further urological checks are planned or needed.
Chronic Urinary Retention (CUR) is defined as a non-painful bladder which remains palpable or percussible after the patient has passed urine by International Continence Society. Postvoid residual urine volume ≥300 mL seems to be widely accepted. CUR may be caused by a variety of diseases and events including injury of sacral plexus, cauda equina and sacral spinal cord, pelvic floor nerve lesion after pelvic surgery and peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes, etc.. Aforementioned injuries generally affect lower motor neuron causing detrusor underactivity, acontractile detrusor or detrusor areflexia. The prevalence varies by different causes of lower motor neuron lesion. The symptoms of patients are voiding difficulty, bladder distention, bladder without sensation and overflow incontinence. A multi-center randomized sham-controlled trial will be conducted. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture for urinary function of patients with CUR caused by lower motor neuron lesion.
The purpose of this research study is to compare outcomes for women in two study arms that include retaining the cystoscopy distending fluid after minimally invasive hysterectomy verses completely emptying the cystoscopy distending fluid. The outcomes being measured for research purposes include the time spent to first spontaneous urination after surgery, rate of indwelling catheter insertion, length of recovery room stay, the amount of bladder discomfort immediately postoperative and over the first 24 hours postoperative, bladder symptoms over the first 24 hours postoperative, and patient satisfaction.
