Our study showed a 40.9% prevalence of DU in POP patients. DU was associated with the presence of voiding symptoms and positive PVR. Moreover, cystocele showed to be more severe in DU group. After surgical repair of POP, voiding symptoms of DU patients became equal to non-DU ones, suggesting that obstruction removal might recover DU in these patients.
SIS showed encouraging objective and subjective outcomes with a minimal complication rate even at the beginning of the learning curve. However, increasing experience reduced postoperative voiding symptoms and overactive bladder syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
