Efficacy of Biofeedback-Assisted Pelvic Muscle Floor Training and Electrical Stimulation on Women...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceUrethral Hypermobility1 moreThe pathophysiological mechanism of stress urinary incontinence divides stress urinary incontinence into urethral hypermobility and intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Pelvic floor muscle exercise as first line therapy has been found to be extremely helpful in patients with mild to moderate forms of incontinence. Biofeedback uses an instrument to record the biological signals ( electrical activity) during a voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction and present this information back to the woman in auditory or visual form. Electrical stimulation can aid in detecting pelvic floor muscles, and also promote the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles and strengthen the muscles. This study assumes that urinary incontinence women with different pathophysiological classifications receiving a pelvic floor muscle training with surface electromyographic biofeedback and electrical stimulation show differences in the strength of pelvic muscle and degree of symptoms improvement.

The Impact of Retropubic Lidocaine vs Saline on Postoperative Urinary Retention Following Midurethral...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceStress urinary incontinence affects millions of women worldwide and has a profound impact on the quality of life of older individuals, their subjective health status, levels of depression and need for care. Midurethral sling placement was introduced in 1995 and remains the current gold standard for surgical management of SUI. Although the advantages of midurethral sling surgery include its high success and minimally invasive approach, approximately 10-50% of women experience acute postoperative urinary retention and are subsequently sent home with an indwelling foley catheter or clean intermittent self catheterization. Urinary retention is anxiety provoking for most patients and adds morbidity, cost, and increased utilization of healthcare resources. Additionally, catheterization of the urinary tract results in increased risk of urinary tract infection and potential need for antibiotics. Several recent studies have reported varying rates of postoperative voiding trial success depending on the type of local anesthetic used for hydrodissection; however the data is sparse and invites a more thorough investigation. Furthermore, to the investigators knowledge, no studies have systematically explored dosage or type of agent used intraoperatively on postoperative voiding function. Based on the preliminary data, the investigators hypothesize that patients receiving normal saline compared to a local anesthetic (e.g., lidocaine) will have a reduction in duration of postoperative urinary retention following retropubic midurethral sling placement.
Online Education Program in Sportswomen for the Prevention of Stress Urinary Incontinence
Incontinence StressStress urinary incontinence (SUI) can be defined through its symptoms as the involuntary loss of urine when carrying out an activity or effort that implies an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Perineal dysfunctions are a widespread problem among the sportswomen population. Therefore, a continuous exposure to exercises that entail a high intra-abdominal pressure such as that which occurs in high-impact sports in women. As seen in other studies in which pelvic floor educational programs were taught; advice and guidance focused on perineal health education helped participants improve knowledge, symptoms, and quality of life, as well as reduce the incidence of SUI. For these reasons, it is relevant to carry out a prevention and education program in the female population who play high-impact sports, since they have a high prevalence of SUI.

Effect of Mobile Application on Urinary Incontinence
Urinary Incontinence,StressUrinary Incontinence8 moreThe first phase was designed in a methodological pattern in order to develop, usability, and performance of mobile application (mobileapp) called "My Fight with Incontinence". Aim of the second phase of the study was to evaluate the effect of mobileapp developed according to the health belief model on incontinence symptoms, Kegel exercise compliance, health belief and quality of life towards UI and kegel exercises in women with UI. The study was planned in a single-center, single-blind, one-to-one, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial design with a 3-month follow-up period. The research will be carried out in the Urology service and polyclinics of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health Practice and Research Hospital. The study population of the research consists of 203 female patients over the age of 18 who were followed up with the diagnosis of Stress, Urge, and Mixed Type UI. Sample selection will not be made in the first stage of the study, and mobileapp will be tested on people aged 18 and over who can be reached, working, studying, or receiving treatment at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Training, Application and Research Hospital and Eskişehir Osmangazi University. The number of samples required for the study was determined by the power analysis made in the GPower 3.1 package program. Assuming that there may be losses during the follow-up and considering the possibility of nonparametric testing, a total of 96 individuals, 48 in each group, with an increase of 20%, will form the research group. In the second stage of the study, "Incontinence Severity Index Questionnaire", "International Urinary Incontinence Inquiry Form-Short Form (ICIQ-SF)", "Kegel Exercise Compliance Follow-up Form", "Health Belief Scale for Urinary Incontinence and Kegel Exercise", "Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7)" will be used. Control group will be given a training booklet called "My Fight with Incontinence", which includes healthy lifestyle behaviors, bladder training, and Kegel exercises related to UI after the pre-tests are applied. After pre-tests are applied to the study group, "My Fight with Incontinence" mobileapp will be installed on their mobile phones by researcher. Reminders will be sent to the patients on a regular basis via the mobileapp. Participants in both the control and study groups will be provided with the link of the survey form created via google forms in the 6th and 12th weeks by sending an SMS.

This information will help inform larger studies on the topic.
Advanced Genital Prolapse Surgery With and Without Mid Urethral Sling to Prevent Stress Urinary...
Pelvic Organ ProlapseUrinary Stress IncontinencePelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a public health problem worldwide, affecting about 30 %. It implies physical, psychological and social losses. A frequent complication after surgeries for POP is developing de novo stress urinary incontinence (SUI). SUI and POP have similar pathophysiology and therefore it is common to coexist in the same patient. De novo SUI has a prevalence 11-44 % after surgical correction of genital prolapse. Occult urinary incontinence (OUI) is considered the major risk factor for postoperative SUI. Studies on this topic show conflicting results. In a recent meta-analysis on this subject, Maher et al concluded that the value of performing any anti- incontinence procedure in continent women undergoing prolapse surgery remains unknown. The aims of this study are to evaluate whether the association of a transvaginal tape (TVT®) in continent patients undergoing surgery for prolapse decreases the risk of de novo SUI and if it implies an improvement in their quality of life. The secondary endpoints are to assess the complications associated with this procedure, as irritative symptoms and voiding dysfunction postoperatively and assessing the ability of stress testing with reduced POP and urodynamics in predicting the risk of de novo SUI. This study will be a prospective, multicentric, randomized experimental study. Patients with anterior or apical prolapse stages 3 and 4 (POP - Q) will be invited to participate in the study. The study will assess these patients for staging of prolapse, the presence of occult urinary incontinence and quality of life. Selected patients will be randomized to perform correction of genital prolapse and prophylactic anti-incontinence procedure or correction of genital prolapse only. Patients will be assessed 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery. Postoperative evaluation will be similar to preoperative. The exclusion criteria are: complaint or diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence before reduction of the prolapse, previous surgery for incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse, hypocontractility detrusor in urodynamics and inability to understand and give informed consent.
