Opioid prescribing practices and medication use following urogynecological surgery
ConclusionTo date, no guidelines exist on prescribing opioids postoperatively. Opioids are overprescribed post ‐operatively with over half of patients using less than half of the opioids prescribed to them. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

A systematic review on reporting outcomes and outcome measures in trials on synthetic mesh procedures for pelvic organ prolapse: Urgent action is needed to improve quality of research
ConclusionsMost randomized trials evaluating surgical interventions using synthetic mesh for pelvic organ prolapse failed to report on clinically important outcomes and to evaluate efficacy and safety over the medium ‐ and long‐term. Developing and implementing a minimum data set, known as a core outcome set, in future vaginal prolapse trials could help address these issues. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Evaluation of the impact of a clinical pathway on the progression of acute urinary retention
ConclusionThe implementation of a clinical pathway for AUR reduced the number of patients lost to follow ‐up and the catheterization duration, thus optimizing the management of these patients. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Caffeine improves bladder function in streptozotocin ‐induced diabetic rats
ConclusionThe results suggested that caffeine (5 or 10  mg/kg/day) may improve the bladder function at 8 weeks after STZ induction. Thus, this may represent a potential strategy to increase voiding efficiency in diabetes. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Correlation of MRI features of urethral diverticulum and pre ‐ and post‐operative stress urinary incontinence
Conclusions25% of all patients had pre ‐op USUI, and diverticular volume and urethral length was significantly smaller in this group. The majority of patients with de novo USUI had complex diverticula configuration with higher baseline circumferential angle around urethra, with 67% of angle's between 270 and 360° (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Hyperbaric oxygen significantly improves frequent urination, hyperalgesia, and tissue damage in a mouse long ‐lasting cystitis model induced by an intravesical instillation of hydrogen peroxide
ConclusionThese results suggest that HBO contributes to elimination of H2O2‐induced long‐lasting cystitis through the repair of chronically inflamed bladder tissue and inhibition of the bladder sensory system. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Spinal cord stimulation ameliorates detrusor over ‐activity and visceromotor pain responses in rats with cystitis
ConclusionSCS improved bladder function and EUS relaxation during bladder infusion and significantly attenuated visceral nociceptive ‐related VMR during IBD in cystitis rats. SCS may have therapeutic potential for patients with hyperalgesia and IC/PBS. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Pelvic floor muscle training with and without supplementary KAATSU for women with stress urinary incontinence ‐ a randomized controlled pilot study
ConclusionsThe added KAATSU protocol did not increase the effect of low ‐intensity PFMT and it was not well tolerated. While subjective effect was significant in both intervention groups this was not reflected in the UPR measures. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Management of neurogenic bladder in patients with Parkinson's disease: A systematic review
ConclusionsAlthough several interventions are available for treatment NGB in patients with PD, at present there is little or no evidence that treatment improves patient outcomes in this population. Additional large, well designed, randomized studies with improved methodology and reporting focused on patient ‐centered outcomes are needed. (Source: Neurourology and Urodynamics)

Expectant long ‐term follow‐up of patients with chronic urinary retention
ConclusionsAlthough the presence of CUR could commonly predispose to episodes of acute retention, severe complications are infrequent although present. Additionally, prostate size may play a role in increasing some adverse outcomes. With proper counseling about different complications, patients with retention who denied surgical treatment can be safely followed for at least 5 years without renal deterioration.
