[Cystomanometric study of bladder sensation during sacral neuromodulation test].

Purpose: Prospective clinical and urodynamic study evaluating modification of bladder sensation during sacral neuromodulation (SNM).

Materials And Methods: 24 consecutive patients with non-neurological hyperactive bladder underwent an SNM test. Questioned about their symptoms before and during the test by the urinary handicap assessment scale, patients were divided into two groups: A (improved) and B (not improved).

[Relationship between the Area Under the Curve of detrussor contraction during micturition and the usual parameters of flow-pressure rate in women].

Objectives: The aim of this work was to assess the relationship between a new urodynamic parameter Area Under Curve of detrusor pressure during voiding (AUCdet) and the usual pressure flow study parameters.

Material And Methods: 103 women with various urinary symptoms (incontinence, dysuria, chronic bladder pain or frequent urinary infection) had a urodynamic evaluation with pressure flow analysis. The intravesical pressure was measured through a 6CH Porges Neoplex and the intra-abdominal pressure through a 6CH rectal catheter in an empty rectum.

Diagnosis of female bladder outlet obstruction and relevance of the parameter area under the curve of detrusor pressure during voiding: preliminary results.

Purpose: The diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction in women by pressure flow study may be difficult because there are several definitions of bladder outlet obstruction, several parameters and no standard cutoffs. We evaluated the ability of pressure flow studies to separate women into unobstructed, equivocal and obstructed groups.

Materials And Methods: In a prospective study 85 women with lower urinary tract symptoms underwent clinical evaluation, including physical examination, voiding cystourethrography, endoscopy, flow rate and post-void residual volume measurement.
