Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the response to sacral neuromodulation in women with refractory, nonobstructive urinary urge incontinence after stress incontinence surgery.
Study Design: We reviewed the medical records of women in whom sacral neuromodulation was performed for worsening or de novo urinary urge incontinence after a stress incontinence procedure. All patients had undergone preliminary test stimulation. Demographics, surgical and urogynecologic history, including bladder diary and pad weight test, and urodynamic parameters were evaluated.
Results: Of 34 women, 22 (65%) responded to the test stimulation and underwent permanent lead implant. There was no difference between responders and nonresponders with respect to type of stress incontinence surgery. Incontinence or urodynamic parameters were not different between responders and nonresponders. Factors that were predictive of a positive response were women aged less than 55 years (P = .01), the test stimulation performed within 4 years of the stress incontinence procedure (P = .01), and evidence of pelvic floor muscle activity (P = .03).
Conclusion: Sacral neuromodulation is a viable option for the treatment of refractory urinary urge incontinence that occurs after stress urinary incontinence surgery. Older women with no pelvic floor activity who are remote from their incontinence surgery may have a suboptimal response.

Introduction: Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) is a rare but significant cause of BOO and LUTS in females, with unclear etiology involving theories of fibrotic narrowing, tissue hyperplasia, or muscle abnormalities. Due to nonspecific symptoms, PBNO diagnosis remains challenging, and optimal surgical treatment needs to be better defined.

Patients with overactive bladder syndrome-wet (OAB-wet) experience urgency urinary incontinence, particularly urinary frequency and nocturia. Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is less addressed among OAB-wet patients. The study evaluated the prevalence of NE, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), urodynamic factors, and social factors in OAB-wet patient.

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI), which can be classified as stress, urgency, or mixed, represents a public health problem that mainly affects adult women. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, association of sociodemographic and obstetric factors with the types of UI as well as the perceived impact on quality of life of women attending primary health facilities in the Tacna region from Peru.
Methods: A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted.

Purpose: Working during non-traditional hours is becoming more prevalent in modern societies and presents a significant hurdle to an individual's circadian rhythm. We examined the bladder health of shift workers in the United States by analyzing information obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Materials And Methods: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets from 2005 to 2010 were utilized.

Purpose: To evaluate two primary outcomes in elite female athletes (EFAs) with severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) 24 months post-intervention: return to elite-level competition and improvement in SUI symptoms. Clustering analysis was conducted to identify subgroups within the patient population and explore treatment efficacy.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 183 EFAs with severe SUI who underwent treatments including pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), vaginal and urethral erbium laser (Fotona Laser), and mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery.
