ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis inflammation of vertebral column (spondylitis) can lead to neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. There is lack of available publications for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction in spinal tuberculosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate urodynamic disturbances in spinal tuberculosis before and after surgery for spondylitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We observed 19 patients with spinal tuberculosis, who had symptoms of micturitions impairment. 14 patients (73,6%) were male and 5 (26,4%) were female, average age was 43,7 7,9 years (2766). Control evaluation was performed after surgery on day 2128. RESULTS: Before surgery we found detrusor overactivity in 11 (57,9%) patients and 2 of those with detrusor overactivity had detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia. Detrusor hypo-/acontractility was diagnosed in 8 (42,1%). After surgery 5 patients (26,3%) exhibited improvement, in one case urodynamic disturbances were resolved. One patient developed detrusor overactivity and incontinence de novo and one patient had worsening neurological status, loss of sensitivity and acontractile bladder. CONCLUSION: Variable lower urinary tract dysfunction can be diagnosed in spinal tuberculosis. Only 26,3% of patients have improvement after surgery. New conditions or worsening of previous neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunctions can be observed.

Background: Utero-vaginal prolapse is a common gynecological disorder, result from weakness of musculoskeletal structure that support the pelvic organ. Although it is not an emergency situation but severely affect the quality of life. Women with utero-vaginal prolapse may present with lower urinary tract dysfunction but association of urological changes with UV prolapse and beneficial effect of surgery on these changes is still debatable. Urodynamic study such as cystometry and uroflowmetry help in better understanding of lower urinary tract dysfunction and assist to plan appropriate surgical management thereby reduce chances of postoperative voiding dysfunction.Methods: A total of 30 women of pelvic organ prolapse with lower urinary tract dysfunction, over a period of one year, were subjected to urodynamic studies after thorough evaluation by history, examination and standardized questionnaire both pre and post operatively and data analysed.Results: In present study, urodynamic study identified urinary dysfunction in 93.34% of women recruited in study. Obstruction was present in 36.67% of women. Detrusor overactivity along with obstruction was seen in 20.00% of women. Urodynamic stress incontinence and urodynamic stress incontinence along with obstruction was identified in 13.33% of women each and detrusor overactivity was observed in 10.00% of women.Conclusions: In present study it was found that, if surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse is planned according to urodynamic study, it will improve urologic profile of patients. To conclude that urodynamic study should be an integral part of diagnostic work up of uterovaginal prolapse patients require larger sample size and at least 6 months follow-up duration after surgery.

Introduction. The most common type of lower urinary tract dysfunction is an overactive bladder (OAB). Today there is a need to search for new effective methods of treating this disease.Purpose of the study. To evaluate the effectiveness of transvertebral magnetic neuromodulation (TMN) of the lumbar spine in patients with OAB.Materials and methods. 26 patients were enrolled in the clinical study. The treatment course consisted of 15 procedures (3 times a week for 5 weeks). Before and after treatment at 1, 3 and 6 months, complaints were assessed using the ICIQ-SF and OAB-q SF questionnaires. Objective parameters were assessed by urodynamic tests before and 6 months after treatment.Results. We observed a significant improvement in patients subjective clinical status at all points of assessment. Transvertebral magnetic neuromodulation had the greatest influence on such urodynamic parameters as the first sensation, the first desire, strong desire, maximum cystometric capacity. Patterns of phase hyperactivity were absent in 60.8% of patients after treatment and terminal hyperactivity in 41.7% of patients.Conclusions. This small study observed a significant therapeutic effect of TMN in patients with OAB. Further large placebo-controlled trials are needed to develop universal effective protocols for lower urinary tract dysfunction treatment.
