The document discusses voiding dysfunctions after sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence. It notes that voiding dysfunctions occur in 2-20% of patients after various sling procedures. The causes can include excessive tension on the sling, displacement of the sling, or external compression of the urethra. Diagnosis involves evaluating the patient history and symptoms, as well as urodynamics testing and imaging exams. Treatment options include conservative measures like clean intermittent catheterization, or surgical interventions like sling loosening or incision if conservative options fail. Early sling loosening or incision within 2 weeks of surgery appears to effectively resolve voiding dysfunction in many patients without compromising continence.
- Minimally invasive technique
- Feasible & reproducible
- Single approach to a complete correction of the 3 compartments of the pelvic floor
- Excellent functional & anatomical results
- Limited risk of complications and good long-term results in the treatment of all types of POP.
- Shorter learning curve than conventional laparoscopy
Results of incisional hernia repair are poor. Centralized hernia surgery is a prerequisite for improvement of clinical outcomes. Center for a hernia and abdominal wall reconstruction should be an essential component of a university hospital. A hernia and abdominal wall reconstructive surgery is a practical and academic sub-specialization.

Antenatal Hydronephrosis, Hydronephrosis in Child Treatment, Delhi - Dr. Pras...Dr. Prashant Jain
With easy availability of ultrasound screening and improvement in expertise, hydronephrosis is now a very frequently diagnosed problem reported in 1 to 5% of all pregnancies. This has enabled us to have a better understanding of the natural course of the problem and early intervention before it results in permanent renal damage.
The distinction between urinary tract obstruction and dilatation remains a challenging problem for clinicians. Still there are no definite guidelines and protocols for evaluation of antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH).

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Epidemiology
Rates of voiding dysfunction after surgery for SUI:
4 to 22% for Burch colposuspension
5 to 20% for Marshall-Marchetti-Krantz urethropexy
4 to 10% for pubovaginal sling
5 to 7% for needle suspension
2 to 4% for TVT
Dunn et al., Int Urogynecol J Pelvic Floor Dysfunct 2004
The most important factor in reducing obstruction has
probably been the appreciation that operations for SUI work
by restoring support and not by changing the position of the
urethra!

The prevalence of storage LUTS was significantly higher in those
patients randomized to RT (OR: 1.35; 95% CI OR: 1.05–1.72; p =
0.02), without any significant difference between inside-out and
outside-in TOT.
A nonstatistically significant difference in favor of TOT was found
for voiding LUTS (OR: 1.56; 95% CI OR: 0.97–2.5; p = 0.07).

Diagnosis
Urodynamics
High pressure, low flow voiding dynamics
In case of urinary retention,
urodynamics may not be
necessary before intervention,
particularly if preoperative
testing showed normal voiding.
However, in cases of de novo or
worsened storage symptoms
without a significantly elevated
PVR, an urodynamic evaluation
is preferred.

Diagnosis
Videourodynamics
Pressure-flow studies alone may
fail to diagnose obstruction but
simultaneous imaging of the
bladder outlet during voiding
greatly facilitates diagnosis.
BOO can be diagnosed when a
radiographic evidence of an
obstruction between the bladder
neck and distal urethra is
associated with a sustained
detrusor contraction of any
magnitude during voiding.

Twenty-two (5.6%) of 389 women who underwent a TVT
operation developed post-operative voiding dysfunction. Twenty
women commenced self-catheterization (CISC) and their progress
was monitored.
Voiding function returned to normal with CISC in 72% of patients
and of these, 85% were cured in less than 12 weeks.
CISC is a suitable and effective initial approach to managing
the majority of cases of voiding dysfunction and avoids the
risks associated with further surgery.
19. Disfunzioni uretro-vescicali dopo sling: quale approccio? – M. Torella
Dipartimento della Donna, del Bambino e di Chirurgia Generale e Specialistica - Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli
Management
Sling loosening or incision
Vaginal incision and tape identification
The sling is hooked with a right-angle clamp (or a Metzenbaum scissors).
Spreading of the right-angle clamp or
downward traction on the tape will usually
loosen it (1-2 cm). This is usually possible if
intervention is done by 7-14 days.
Thereafter, tissue ingrowth may
prevent loosening of the sling, in
which case cutting it in the midline
is recommended.
Incision closure
20. Disfunzioni uretro-vescicali dopo sling: quale approccio? – M. Torella
Dipartimento della Donna, del Bambino e di Chirurgia Generale e Specialistica - Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli
Management
Urethrolysis
If sling incision is not successful in relieving obstruction
May be accomplished through a retropubic or a transvaginal approach
Transvaginal approach is easier to perform and has reduced morbidity and
recovery time
Retropubic space is entered sharply by
perforating the attachment of the endopelvic
fascia to the obturator fascia
The urethra is dissected off the undersurface
of the pubic bone and completely freed
proximally to the bladder neck
Penrose drain placed around the urethra

Dipartimento della Donna, del Bambino e di Chirurgia Generale e Specialistica - Seconda Università degli Studi di Napoli
After TVT incision, resolution of obstruction in all 17 patients while
recurrent SUI occurred in one patient.
Impaired bladder emptying resolved in 100% of 23 patients after TVT
incision and/or loosening, with 61% remaining continent, 26% with partial
recurrence, and 13% with complete recurrence of SUI.
Forty-nine percent of the patients were completely cured of their retention
and remained continent after transvaginal tape release.
Successful resolution of voiding dysfunction in 29 out of 33 women
with no recurrence of incontinence after early loosening of the tape.
Management
Is there a risk of recurrent SUI?

Take home messages
There is a lack of consensus in how to manage postoperative voiding
dysfunction.
Most women regain a normal voiding function in the first few days after surgery,
as postoperative edema and pain resolve.
It seems reasonable, therefore, to start with conservative measures (e.g. CISC)
and to reserve surgery for those women with resistant symptoms or for those
who are unsuitable for CISC.
Among surgical options, early transvaginal tape mobilization appears to be a
simple and effective procedure that can be performed within the first 2 weeks
after sling placement without compromising continence.
