Overactive bladder with urodynamic study-induced bladder pain: An overactive bladder subtype with symptoms similar to those of interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.

Overactive bladder (OAB) and interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) are 2 lower urinary tract disorders with urgency and bladder pain for diagnosis and with several other shared symptoms. Because of their overlapping symptoms, precise differential diagnosis of OAB and IC/PBS remains difficult. Thus, we characterize a subgroup of OAB with bladder pain (OAB-BP) that can be differentiated from OAB alone by urodynamic study (UDS) findings.

Comparison of Survival Outcomes between Minimally Invasive Surgery and Open Radical Hysterectomy in Early-Stage Cervical Cancer.

Objectives: To compare the survival outcomes between minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and laparotomy radical hysterectomy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study involving women who received a radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, stage IA1 with lymphovascular invasion, IA2, IB1, IB2, or IIA from 2008 to 2016. Clinicopathologic and perioperative outcomes were compared using appropriate statistical methodologies.
