Urology Research

KEY FINDING: Individuals with NLUTD have the right to access the best evidence-based standard of IC care available, including adequate and comfortable facilities.

KEY FINDING: Four distinct patterns of NLUTD management were identified: “urinal collecting apparatus dominated pattern” (40.3%), “bladder compression dominated pattern” (30.7%), “intermittent catheterization dominated pattern” (19.3%) and “urethral indwelling catheterization dominated pattern” (9.6%).

KEY FINDING: Concomitant BTIs for treating both spasticity and NDOI at the same time appeared safe when performed within a short delay and in compliance with actual knowledge for maximum doses.

KEY FINDING: Electrostimulation, combined with or without PFMT, can significantly enhance health-related quality of life.

KEY FINDING: Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) was the most common method (74.1%), but over half the participants were still incontinent.

KEY FINDING: Each 1 mg increase in oxybutynin dosage was associated with a mean decrease of 0.9 cmH2O in detrusor pressure.

KEY FINDING: High-dose oxybutynin (20–40 mg/day) significantly reduced maximal detrusor pressure (MDP) over three follow-up visits.

KEY FINDING: VUDS clarified the nature and extent of obstruction in men unable to self-catheterize, enabling targeted surgery.

KEY FINDING: Innovative programmable (IPG) electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve (PN) effectively induces external urethral sphincter (EUS) relaxation.

KEY FINDING: All patients presented with at least one type of incontinence, and no differences between sexes were observed.
