Purpose: We reviewed 9 cases of pubic osteomyelitis associated with placement of bone anchors for bladder neck suspension procedures for risk factors, bacterial speciation and sensitivities, and interventions performed.
Materials And Methods: Nine women were treated for pubic osteomyelitis following the use of bone anchors for bladder neck suspension surgery. In 8 cases the bone anchors had been placed through a suprapubic incision and in 1 the bone anchors were placed by a vaginal route.
Aims: To identify the characteristics of optimal symptom questionnaires in women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Methods: Literature review.
Results: Although numerous questionnaires have been developed for the evaluation of female LUTS, no one instrument has emerged as that preferred for collecting and reporting subjective information about LUTS in women.
