Percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation for Voiding Dysfunction

Pregnancy and childbirth, pelvic surgery and some medication (diuretics and anticholinergic), obesity, some neurological disease (Multiple-sclerosis, spinal cord injury, diabetes) are associated with urge incontinence as the long-held clinical impression confirmed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) for the treatment of complaints related to overactive bladder syndrome: urinary urgency, urinary frequency, urge incontinence (UI), non- obstructive urinary retention.

Sacral colpopexy/hysteropexy is a well-established approach to vaginal apex support and was the first technique used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) with robotic assistance. However, dissection at the level of the promontory may be difficult, especially in obese patients, and associated with rare but potential serious morbidity such as life-threatening vascular injury. In an attempt to avoid this risk, we describe a new robotic approach for POP repair with lateral suspension. 

Role of non invasive urodynamics using penile Cuff Testing in diagnosing BOO.
A technique of non invasive Urodynamic study for men has been developed by scientists at Newcastle hospital using penile cuff. It works on the principle of interruption of flow of urine using a cuff around the penis and indirectly measuring the intravescical pressure (P cuff = P urethra = P ves.).

To assess the long-term efficacy and safety of polydimethylsiloxane injection (Macroplastique", Cogentix Medical, Orangeburg, New York, USA) for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), with a minimum follow-up of 3 years
This is an observational analytical prospective cohort study conducted in a single uro-gynaecological unit. All consecutive women with urodynamically confirmed pure SUI treated with the Macroplastique procedure, were included. Data regarding patient outcomes (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire–Short Form, Patient Global Impression of Improvement, and patient satisfaction scores), objective cure rates, and adverse events were collected during follow-up.
