Urinary loss (flow) results from a relative lack of CM resistance with respect to the intravesical pressure. Surgical stabilization of the continence mechanism, at the level of the bladder neck or mid-urethra, compensates for the existing loss of urethral support and function by creating new zones for compression, absorption of transmitted pressure, and the preservation of sphincteric configuration. Our understanding of the pathophysiology of stress incontinence and the basis for surgical compensation continues to evolve. Mid-urethral complex support procedures have stimulated further investigation into the mechanics of continence.

Introduction: Transvaginal retropubic (TVT-R) and transobturator (TVT-O) midurethral slings are the main surgical options for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Surgical indications for each of them are defined by clinical and history presentation. These techniques play a particular role in SUI recurrence after a previous urinary incontinence surgery, although there are few studies comparing their efficacy.

Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a complex mixture derived from adipose tissue, consisting of a variety of cells. Due to its potential for tissue repair, immunomodulation, and support of angiogenesis, SVF represents a promising frontier in regenerative medicine and offers potential therapy for a range of disease conditions. In this article, we delve into the mechanisms through which SVF exerts its effects and explore its potential applications in treating both male and female reproductive disorders, including erectile dysfunction, testicular injury, stress urinary incontinence and intrauterine adhesion.

CUOB (co-existent underactive overactive bladder) syndrome is a clinical entity that embraces storage and emptying symptoms, not strictly correlated with urodynamic findings. We assessed the differences between patients diagnosed with CUOB with/without cystocele. The study group was allocated from 2000 women who underwent urodynamic studies between 2008 and 2016.
