“…The distinction between the types of incontinence was based on the guidelines of the European Association of Urology (EAU) on Incontinence and the International Continence Society (ICS). 5,6 In addition, we used the validated ICIQ-SF (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short form), which received a class A rating in the current Association of the Scientific Medical Societies' guidelines. 7 The original version of this questionnaire consists of 4 questions.…”

Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine whether the responses to the same questionnaire differ between women living in a large city and women living in a rural area. Methods: We evaluated the medical records of 88 patients living in the large city of Cologne and of 86 patients living in Brühl and its surrounding rural regions. The responses on the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) of 88 patients who suffer from urinary incontinence and live in a large city were compared to the responses 86 patients who live the rural region of Brühl. In addition, ages, frequency of micturition, use of pads, prior and desired treatment were compared. Limitations of this study include its retrospective study design and the absence of sociodemographic data. Furthermore, the use of a pad test could objectify the extent of incontinence. Results: On average, patients from Cologne used of 6.2 pads and patients from Brühl used 3 pads. Patients from the large city scored 14 out of 21 points on the ICIQ-SF, and women from Brühl scored 11 out of 21 points. This difference was significant. Patients from Cologne had received medicinal treatment or physical therapy significantly more often. Conclusion:The results suggest that urinary incontinence is perceived as a greater impairment by patients residing in (large) cities compared to patients residing in rural areas. An urban-rural gradient in patients with urinary incontinence can be described.

“…The diagnosis has two steps, as has been described in the guideline of the European Association of Urology (EAU) (17). In the first step; daily incontinence episode numbers, the effects of daily activities on incontinence, need for additional devices (penile clamp, pad), voiding schedule, previous history of incontinence before operation (8-27%), radiotherapy (before or after operation), additional treatments such as brachytherapy, previous history of pelvic or urethral surgery and additional drug usage should be questioned in patients.…”

Urinary incontinence after prostatectomy for malignant and/or benign prostatic diseases is one of the most serious complications. Urinary incontinence occurs rarely after prostatectomy for benign diseases. However, it may occur more commonly after radical prostatectomy. These complications affect the patient's quality of life. Treatment of incontinence due prostatectomy includes several methods which differ from conservative to invasive surgical procedures. Slings and artificial urethral sphincters (AUS) are used more often than other procedures. Infection ratios and erosion of urethra are less frequent in AUS than in slings. Although AUS is the standard surgical procedure for severe urinary incontinence, slings may be used for severe male incontinence after prostatectomy due to the current development in sling materials.. Herein, we evaluate post prostatectomy urinary incontinence and treatments in the light of a review of current literature. (JAREM 2012; 2: 96-100) Key Words: Male sling, radical prostatectomy, stress urinary incontinence, TURP ÖZETBenign ya da malign hastalıklar için yapılan prostatektomi sonrasında inkontinans gelişmesi en korkulan komplikasyonlardandır. Benign nedenlerle prostatektomi uygulanan hastalarda post operatif üriner inkontinans nadir iken, radikal prostatektomi sonrasında daha yüksek oranlarda görülür. Bu komplikasyon, hastanın yaşam kalitesini önemli derecede etkilemektedir. Prostatektomi sonrası oluşan idrar kaçırma tedavisinde; konservatif yön-temlerden, invaziv girişimlere kadar değişen farklı yöntemler kullanılır. Sling ve artifisyel üriner sfinkter (AÜS) operasyonları bu amaçla en sık kullanılan cerrahi tedavi yöntemlerdir. Sling yöntemleri, AÜS'e göre operasyon sonrası enfeksiyon ve üretral erozyon gibi komplikasyonları açısından düşük risk taşımaktadır. Şiddetli inkontinansta AÜS, günümüzde standart tedavi seçeneği sayılsa da, erkek sling materyallerindeki gelişmeler, ciddi inkontinans vakalarında da sling yöntemlerinin öne çıkacağını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada prostatektomi sonrası idrar kaçırma ve tedavi yöntemleri güncel bilgiler eşliğinde değerlendirildi.
