Extracorporeal shockwave therapy in treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: Systematic review and meta-analyses.

Aims: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) prevalence varies from 8.4% to 25% of the male population and is associated with diminished health-related quality of life. Managing CP/CPPS remains challenging and there is not any common option to treat all patients effectively because of the complex disease nature.

Functional mapping of the lower urinary tract by epidural electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in decerebrated cat model.

Several neurologic diseases including spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis are accompanied by disturbances of the lower urinary tract functions. Clinical data indicates that chronic spinal cord stimulation can improve not only motor function but also ability to store urine and control micturition. Decoding the spinal mechanisms that regulate the functioning of detrusor (Detr) and external urethral sphincter (EUS) muscles is essential for effective neuromodulation therapy in patients with disturbances of micturition.

[Sacral magnetic stimulation in overactive bladder syndrome: comparative analysis of protocols with a frequency of 1 and 5 Hz].

Unlabelled: Peripheral magnetic stimulation (pMS) has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms, such as symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB). The perineal region (pelvic floor) and the sacral roots area (projection S3 of the root) are used as the locus of stimulation. The published literature presents protocols with different parameters of stimulation, while each of them reliably demonstrates clinical efficacy, however, no comparative studies have been found to select priority stimulation modes when analyzing available sources.

Tunable tension tape versus transobturator tape in treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women: Randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: The synthetic mid-urethral slings are currently considered to be the most widely used technique for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The most challenging aspect of the existing approaches is to achieve the optimal tension of the sling which treatment results are directly dependent on. To solve this problem, sling systems enabling an adjustment of the tension in the early postoperative period were created.

[Vaginal access pelvic organ prolapse repair at the high-volume center: evolution of implants from XL to XS].

Introduction: The use of large vaginal meshes for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) combined with insufficient surgeon experience are the important risk factors for serious postoperative complications.

Aim: To find the most safe and effective method of surgical treatment of POP.

Materials And Methods: To evaluate the efficiency of surgical techniques, a retrospective study of 5031 medical records from an electronic database was carried out.
