Spontaneous bladder rupture following cystoscopy with hydrodistention and biopsy in a female patient with interstitial cystitis.

We report a case of remote spontaneous rupture of urinary bladder following cystourethroscopy with hydrodistention and a bladder biopsy in a patient with interstitial cystitis. This required abdominal exploration with cystorrhaphy. This case emphasizes a unique and dangerous complication of this procedure in a patient with interstitial cystitis.

Overactive bladder and hyperlipidemia: is there an association?

Objectives: : To determine the relationship between overactive bladder (OAB), with or without urinary incontinence (UI), and hyperlipidemia.

Methods: : A random sample of 8077 primary care patients were recruited for the General Longitudinal Overactive Bladder Evaluation. This was a prospective population-based survey to determine severity and occurrence of urgency, frequency, nocturia, and UI.

Cystoscopic removal of intravesical synthetic mesh extrusion with the aid of Endoloop sutures and endoscopic scissors.

Synthetic mesh is commonly used in urogynecologic surgical procedures for correction of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Bladder mesh extrusion is a recognized complication and frequently requires extensive mesh resection. We present a case of intravesical polypropylene mesh extrusion following a combined mesh kit and midurethral sling placement.

Urethral prolapse formation after urodynamic testing: a case report.

Urodynamic testing is a widely used modality for evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms with minimal morbidity to the patient. We report a case of strangulated urethral prolapse in a 74-year-old female that occurred right after urodynamic evaluation. The urethral prolapse was managed conservatively and the patient fully recovered without the need for surgical intervention.
