Introduction And Objectives: A Consensus document on the management of patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) was published in 2018. The present document aims to update its recommendations regarding treatment considering the new evidence available, and to contribute to the standardization of the management of this disorder.
Methods: The methodology used was based on a systematic review and the Nominal Group Technique.
Article Synopsis
- The 2024 EAU guidelines for neurourology emphasize the importance of lifelong management for patients with neurological conditions affecting urinary, sexual, and bowel functions.
- The guidelines were updated based on a literature review from 2021-2023, with evidence and strength ratings assigned to each recommendation to ensure a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment.
- Key recommendations include early diagnosis, customized management plans involving multidisciplinary care, and continuous follow-up to maintain patients' quality of life.
Context: The complications of synthetic midurethral slings (MUSs) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) have become a globally debated issue.
Objective: To systematically review the short- and long-term complications of mesh slings reported in observational data compared with clinical trial data, to determine whether the complication rates from clinical trials reflects "real-world" observational data.
Evidence Acquisition: PubMed and Cochrane Library were searched.
Objective: To evaluate bladder capacity in women with idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) through bladder diary, cystomanometry, and uroflowmetry and assess the concordance of the different measures of bladder capacity. A secondary objective is to describe the relationship between bladder capacity and urinary frequency in OAB patients.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional multicentric study was conducted, including female patients diagnosed with idiopathic OAB.
