To evaluate the effects of deep resection of endometriosis in the posterior pelvic region on urodynamic parameters....
A prospective observational study conducted with female patients diagnosed with deep pelvic endometriosis before and after endometriosis resection surgery. Clinical history, image exams, the Female Lo...
Patients aged 30-39 years old, operative duration of 132.5 minutes, and 2.7 days of hospital stay. Uroflowmetry and cystometry showed tendency for an increase after the surgery in the flow duration, t...
A significant response in the patient's perception of urinary function was demonstrated after surgery. It is observed that the surgical procedure did not affect the uroflowmetric and cystometric chara...
To evaluate the urodynamic changes in patients who have undergone colocystoplasty (CCP), gastrocystoplasty (GCP) and ileocystoplasty (ICP) in a retrospective study. Changes in urinary continence, inci...
Eighty-four patients were included in the study who underwent bladder augmentation between 1987 and 2017. Group I: 35 patients with CCP. Group II: 18 patients with GCP. Group III: 31 patients with ICP...
In Group I, two patients and in Group III, one patient remained incontinent after CCP and ICP. Bladder capacity increased significantly, maximal intra-vesical pressure decreased and compliance improve...
From the urodynamic point of view, ileum is the most adequate option in the long term. Contractions after augmentation might be caused by the remaining peristalsis of the detubularised segment. Furthe...
Urodynamic testing (UDS) is an important tool in the management of pediatric lower urinary tract conditions. There have been notable efforts to standardize pediatric UDS nomenclature and technique, bu...
Pediatric urologists regularly performing UDS were queried using a Delphi process. Participants were invited representing varied geographic, experience, and societal involvement. Participants underwen...
A diverse sample of 30 providers, representing 27 institutions across 21 US states; Washington, District of Columbia; and Canada completed the study. Participants reported interpreting an average numb...
This consensus report details the key elements and structure agreed upon by an expert panel of pediatric urologists. Further standardization of documentation should aid collaboration and research for ...
The number of urodynamic studies (UDS) has been declining steadily in recent decades, yet the reasons behind this trend remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the structural aspects ...
We surveyed all urological departments performing UDS as well as a representative sample of private practices in Germany in 2023. We examined structural situation, waiting times, capacities and limita...
In 2019, 259/474 (55%) urological departments in Germany performed UDS. 206/259 (80%) urological departments responded to the survey. 163/200 (82%) urological departments stated that their capacities ...
In German urological departments, UDS capacities are consistently fully utilized, primarily due to staffing shortages. This trend towards centralization prompts questions about the role of UDS in urol...
This study explores 15-year urological complications in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) patients and investigates the predictive factors from video-urodynamic study (VUDS) and bladder management. Ana...
To identify the urodynamic parameters affecting the clinical outcomes of transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) surgery for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) by multifactor analys...
The medical records of patients who underwent TURP surgery for BPH between December 2018 and September 2021 were collected from the urology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medi...
A total of 201 patients underwent TURP, of whom 144 had complete preoperative urodynamic data. Each urodynamic factor was subjected to multifactor analysis, and the bladder contractility index (BCI), ...
The regression model had high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in predicting the efficacy of surgery, and the diagnostic value was higher than that of individual urodynamic factors. Therefore, B...
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology has been widely used in medicine to simulate and analyse urine flow characteristics in urology. In previous studies, researchers have modelled the analysi...
Based on clinical MRI data, a three-dimensional real urethral model was established for two patients with BPH after surgery. The boundary conditions were set according to the patients' real urodynamic...
1. By comparing the three-dimensional trajectory of urine and the vortex identification cloud map based on the Q criterion, we intuitively observed the distribution of the vortex in the model, and a '...
The complete urinary discharge process can be dynamically simulated using CFD techniques. By comparing the simulation results, the posterior urethral morphology can have an important impact on the uri...
To establish the initial (before pressure equilibrium) and initial resting intravesical and abdominal pressure in the sitting position using air-filled catheters, to assess the correlation between the...
Patients with non-neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms referred for urodynamic testing in our center were consecutively enrolled in a prospective study from August 2022 to October 2022. The correla...
Ninety-eight patients aged 56 ± 16 were studied. The 95% range of the initial intravesical and abdominal pressure were 18-42 cmH...
Our results determined the ranges of values of both initial and initial resting pressures in the air-charged system. Meanwhile, the present study indicated the obesity-related measurements may be used...
Diagnosing underlying causes of nonneurogenic male lower urinary tract symptoms associated with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is challenging. Video-urodynamic studies (VUDS) and pressure-flow studi...
These examinations' invasive nature highlights the need for developing noninvasive predictive models to facilitate BOO diagnosis and reduce the necessity for invasive procedures....
We conducted a retrospective study with a cohort of men with medication-refractory, nonneurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms suspected of BOO who underwent VUDS from 2001 to 2022. In total, 2 BOO pr...
Among 307 patients, 26.7% (n=82) met the ICS-BOO criteria, while 82.1% (n=252) were diagnosed with VBOO. The ICS-BOO prediction model had a mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ...
The 2 machine learning models predicting ICS-BOO and VBOO, based on 6 noninvasive clinical parameters, demonstrate commendable discrimination performance. Using the dual-model prediction approach, whe...
Although antibiotic prophylaxis (AB) demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in bacteriuria after invasive urodynamics (UDS), no significant decrease in the incidence of urinary tract infec...
A systematic literature review was performed on AB before UDS in males and females. A panel of experts from the Italian Society of Urodynamics, Continence, Neuro-Urology, and Pelvic Floor (SIUD) asses...
The panel group was composed of 57 experts in functional urology and UDS, mainly urologists, likewise gynaecologists, physiatrists, infectivologists, pediatric urologists, and nurses. A positive conse...
Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended for patients without notable risk factors and with a negative urine test due to the potential morbidities that may result from antibiotic administration. Howe...
