Objective: : The objectives of the study were to estimate the severity of urge urinary incontinence (UUI) after surgery for stress incontinence and identify factors associated with symptom severity.
Methods: : Four hundred thirty-eight women who underwent surgery for stress incontinence over a 10-year period completed a mailed questionnaire protocol that included validated instruments to assess lower urinary tract function and mental and physical well-being. Bivariate analysis and generalized linear models were used to identify factors associated with severity of UUI as measured by the urge incontinence domain of the Incontinence Symptom Index.
Results: : Urge urinary incontinence was experienced daily by 35.9% of patients. Factors independently associated with higher UUI severity scores were preoperative mixed urinary incontinence (P = 0.006), depression (P < 0.001), aging (P < 0.001), and longer follow-up times (P = 0.01). Pubovaginal sling (P = 0.001) and urethral vaginal suspension (P = 0.04) had higher severity scores than Tension-Free Vaginal Tape.
Conclusions: : Daily episodes of UUI are experienced by slightly more than one third of women after surgery for stress incontinence. Identification of factors associated with UUI may help physicians to modify treatment and patient expectations.

Background: Patients with rectal cancer often experience adverse effects on urinary, sexual, and digestive functions. Despite recognised impacts and available treatments, they are not fully integrated into follow-up protocols, thereby hindering appropriate interventions. The aim of the study was to discern the activities conducted in our routine clinical practice outside of clinical trials.

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.
Case Presentation: We report two cases of females in their 50s with recurrent urinary retention managed by indwelling catheters.

Importance: Although surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is generally associated with an improvement in sexual function, knowledge on specific changes is limited.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe and compare changes in sexual activity and function during a 5-year follow-up period after POP surgery.
Study Design: This was a nationwide cohort study of 3,515 women operated on for POP in 2015 in Finland.

January 2025
Department of Neurology, LMU University Hospital, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München, Munich, Germany.
Background And Objective: Non-motor symptoms frequently develop throughout the disease course of Parkinson's disease (PD), and pose affected individuals at risk of complications, more rapid disease progression and poorer quality of life. Addressing such symptom burden, the 2023 revised "Parkinson's disease" guideline of the German Society of Neurology aimed at providing evidence-based recommendations for managing PD non-motor symptoms, including autonomic failure, pain and sleep disturbances.
Methods: Key PICO (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) questions were formulated by the steering committee and refined by the assigned authors.
