Patient Preferences and Knowledge Regarding Hysterectomy: A Study from the Fellows' Pelvic Research Network (FPRN)®.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe preference for and knowledge of hysterectomy routes in women presenting to urogynecology/gynecology clinics throughout the United States and to determine association with health literacy. Our primary aim was preference for hysterectomy route, and secondary aims were knowledge of basic pelvic structures and function, knowledge of various hysterectomy routes, and baseline health literacy level.

Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted through the Fellows' Pelvic Research Network.

Urinary tract infection and drug-resistant urinary tract infection after intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection versus sacral neuromodulation.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX) and sacral neuromodulation (SNM) are effective treatments for refractory urgency urinary incontinence/overactive bladder (UUI/OAB). BTX carries a risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), which is concerning for the development of multidrug resistant (MDR) UTI. We hypothesized that BTX might carry a higher risk of UTI and MDR UTI compared with SNM and that UTI and MDR UTI risk might increase after repeat BTX injection.
