Predicting outcomes after intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxina for non‐neurogenic urgency incontinence in women

Lower urinary tract symptoms, including urgency, urgency incontinence, pollakiuria and nocturia are common in the elderly people and has significant impact on quality of life. Pharmacological treatment is recommended when conservative management, such as fluid intake normalization or bladder training, does not alleviate symptoms. Antimuscarinics were often used as the I line treatment for OAB, as these drugs block the activity of the muscarinic M2/M3 receptors in the bladder and provide a significant clinical benefit for OAB symptoms in the elderly people, but their side effects are common, often leading to treatment discontinuation. Mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist, shows similar efficacy to antimuscarinic drugs without the risk of anticholinergic effects.

Genuine Stress Urinary Incontinence

ABSTRACT Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI) is more common than any other chronic disease with the prevalence of approximately 23 and 55%. Among the various forms of UI, stress incontinence (SUI) is the most common (49%), with urgency incontinence (UUI) representing 21% and mixed type (MUI) at 29%. As it affects the quality-of-life of women, the restoration of urinary continence is one of the greatest challenges. Aim To review the cases of genuine SUI treated surgically by Burch retropubic urethropexy. Results We have managed surgically eight cases of genuine SUI by Burch retropubic urethropexy. On 1-year follow-up, none of the patients had any urinary complaints. All had responded well to surgery and patient's satisfaction index was good. Conclusion Since SUI is the commonest among incontinences, it is a challenge to diagnose and treat to improve quality-of-life of patients. Burch retropubic urethropexy is the gold standard treatment for SUI, especially if other indications exist for abdominal surgery. Even in the present era of less invasive vaginal procedures, results are comparable. How to cite this article Rajput DA, Valecha SM, Sarwade M, Dhumale S.
