Does glycopyrrolate at anesthesia induction increase temporary postoperative urinary retention after a midurethral sling?

Study Objective: To determine whether patients receiving perioperative glycopyrrolate during midurethral sling surgery had more acute but temporary postoperative urinary retention.

Design: Retrospective cohort from 2006 to 2011.

Setting: Northern Virginia community urology practice.

Objective and quality-of-life outcomes with bone-anchored male bulbourethral sling.

Objectives: To investigate the success rates and quality-of-life outcomes with the male bulbourethral sling using the validated Male Urogenital Distress Inventory (MUDI) and Male Urinary Symptom Impact Questionnaire (MUSIQ). These validated incontinence questionnaires for men have not been reported in the sling population.

Methods: A total of 31 consecutive patients underwent placement of a male bulbourethral bone-anchoring sling from October 2002 through May 2005.

Evaluation and management of malfunctioning sacral neuromodulator.

Objectives: To describe a strategy for revising the malfunctioning InterStim device and to provide an algorithm for evaluation and management.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 82 patients who had undergone InterStim placement. Ten patients (eight women and two men) experienced complications and subsequently underwent revision of their device between October 2001 and October 2003.
