The overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is defined as urinary urgency, usually with urinary frequency and nocturia, with or without urgency urinary incontinence. It significantly impacts patients' quality of life and represents a significant public health issue. Treatment options include conservative and hygienic measures, pharmacological treatments and surgery.

The goal of this study was to evaluate urodynamic parameters before and after male sling insertion, only in patients cured of their stress urinary incontinence.
Patients And Methods: In total, 10 continent patients after transobturator male sling, with no history of urethral stenosis or pelvic radiation, were randomly selected from a database for urodynamic studies.
Objective: To assess the outcomes of patients following a first-line systematic endourologic procedure used to treat ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures (UEAS).
Materials And Methods: All data from patients treated using a first-line endourologic approach for UEAS between 2010 and 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. The following data were analyzed: age, type of urinary diversion, initial symptoms, surgical endoscopic approach (antegrade or retrograde), pre- and postoperative creatinine levels, and postoperative complications and outcomes.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the incidence of postoperative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) in women with negative preoperative prolapse reduction stress testing (PPRST) and to identify associated risk factors.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study comprising women who consecutively underwent double-mesh LSCP without concomitant SUI surgery after a negative PPRST at a tertiary referral center. Negative PPRST was defined by the absence of SUI during cough testing and urodynamic studies with prolapse reduction.
