Aim: To evaluate the role of pre-operative urodynamics in women with pelvic organ prolapse, who are asymptomatic for urinary symptoms. Correlate urodynamics findings with King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) responses.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data on routine pre-operative urodynamics investigations in women with urogenital prolapse requiring surgery. Patients who were reported to be asymptomatic of urinary symptoms at the urogynaecological clinical consultation, were included for analysis. KHQ and urodynamics data were reviewed.
Results: A 800 records of women having routine pre-operative urodynamics were collected over a 10-year period, were reviewed. 98/800 (12%) were aymptomatic of urinary symptoms and underwent urodynamics. 82/98 (84%) completed the KHQ. 48/98 (49%) had normal urodynamics. 30/98 (31%) had detrusor overactivity (DO). 17/98 (17%) showed occult urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). 3/98 (3%) both DO and USI. 28/98 (29%) had peak flow rate less than 15 mL/s. Forty-five percent of women reporting nocturia had DO. Nine percent had over 100 mL residuals after the free flow study. Routine pre-operative urodynamics changed management in 25/98 (25%) of asymptomatic prolapse patients. TVT was performed in 12 patients. One patient who declined TVT for moderate occult USI, developed new-onset stress urinary incontinence post-operatively.
Conclusion: This data show, that an accurate pre-surgical evaluation of patients with prolapse is incomplete without a structured validated questionnaire and urodynamics, due to the high proportion of abnormal KHQ and UDS findings in presumably "asymptomatic" patients.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterised by urinary urgency, with or without incontinence, often accompanied by daytime frequency and nocturia, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other identifiable causes. Population studies estimate the prevalence of OAB at 12.8% (EPIC study), increasing with age, reaching up to 43% after age 40.

Article Synopsis
- Older age is linked to higher rates of urinary incontinence, and this study examines how age affects outcomes of transobturator mid-urethral sling (TOS) surgery in women with stress urinary incontinence.
- A total of 464 women, categorized by age groups, were analyzed for clinical and ultrasound outcomes one year post-surgery, indicating that older women often reported more urinary incontinence issues post-surgery.
- The study concluded that TOS surgery is generally effective and safe for women of all ages, but older women may experience a looser and higher position of the sling post-op.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecolog, Ospital Ng Lipa, Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines.
Introduction And Hypothesis: To assess the outcomes of mid-urethral sling (MUS) procedures for urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) following extensive pelvic reconstructive surgery (PRS) and identify risk factors for persistent USI (P-USI).
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 84 women who underwent a staged approach to MUS for USI after PRS for advanced pelvic organ prolapse (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification III and IV). The primary outcome was objective cure rate, defined by negative urine leakage on urodynamic study and a 1-h pad test weight of < 2 g.
