A Prospective Study

Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant social problem. The latest figures show that it affects as many as 17–60% of the female population, and it is one of the most common chronic diseases. Incontinence substantially decreases the quality of patients’ lives. The transobturator tape (TOT) procedure is the gold standard in surgical treatment due to its high efficacy and low complication rate. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) of patients with stress incontinence before and after the TOT procedure. Method: The study included 57 patients diagnosed with stress incontinence on the basis of ultrasonography and history. The QoL before and after surgery was measured using the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and the Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) standardised questionnaires. Results: The IIQ-7 scores for each question were higher (indicating poorer quality of life) before surgery than after surgery. The results for almost all domains were statistically significant. The I-QOL results also showed that, in most cases, the quality of patients’ lives improved after the surgery. Statistically significant changes were observed in all three questionnaire domains of avoidance/limiting behaviour, psychosocial impact, and social embarrassment. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of stress incontinence with TOT results in resolution of bothersome symptoms in the majority of patients, leading to improved comfort in life.

Rationale. Currently, the literature describes about 374 cases of Marshall syndrome. According to some authors, the prevalence of Marshall syndrome is 2.3 per 10,000 children, in general, the epidemiology of PFAPA syndrome in the pediatric population is unknown.Purpose. The aim of our study is to justify surgical treatment in children with Marshall syndrome. Objectives. The objectives of this study are to give a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of tonsillectomy and adenotonzyllectomy for this syndrome and to evaluate the quality of life indicators before and after surgical treatment.Materials and methods. The study included 26 patients with Marshall syndrome, of which 18 patients underwent adenotonzyllectomy and 8 patients underwent bilateral tonsillectomy. A clinical case of a typical manifestation of Marshall syndrome is also described, and follow-up results of the effectiveness of surgical treatment for Marshall syndrome are presented. In the course of the work, an adapted questionnaire was developed to assess the quality of life of parents of children with Marshall syndrome.Results. The result of our work is the fact that in relation to the relief of PFAPA-syndrome, children of preschool and primary school age have more effective adenotonsillectomy (88.2%), while tonsillectomy was effective only in 55.6% of patients.Conclusion. A multidisciplinary approach is required to address the diagnosis and treatment of Marshall syndrome.
