Assessing Patient Centered Urological Care for Spina Bifida: A Collaboration Between the European Association of Urology–European Society for Pediatric Urology (EAU−ESPU) Pediatric Urology Guidelines Panel and the International Federation for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus (IFSBH)

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction & Objectives People with spina bifida (SB) require lifelong care from various specialists, with the organization and availability of care differing across Europe. This variation likely impacts care outcomes from a patient perspective.

Zeroing Pressures in Urodynamics: Revisiting Current Practice and Pressure Interpretation

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Zeroing of pressure transducers is a fundamental step in urodynamic testing, as it affects pressure tracings and numerical values. Atmospheric zeroing before catheter insertion is the recommended approach, but zeroing with catheters in situ is also used.

Obstetrics and Fecal Incontinence [PDF]

Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery, 2014
Anal incontinence (AI) can be a debilitating condition for women following vaginal delivery. Operative vaginal delivery and anal sphincter laceration are important risk factors for the development of postpartum AI. Obtaining a comprehensive delivery history, along with a thorough physical examination of the perineum, vagina and rectum may aid the ...

Value of 3D‐High Resolution Anorectal Manometry Before and After Fistulotomy for Simple Perianal Fistulas: A Prospective Cohort Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
In this prospective cohort study, 3D‐high resolution anorectal manometry provided detailed regional pressure assessment but failed to predict postoperative continence deterioration after fistulotomy for simple perianal fistulas. These findings highlight the need for a continence assessment tool that better distinguishes true fecal incontinence from ...

Automatic localisation of innervation zones: a simulation study of the external anal sphincter [PDF]

, 2009
Traumas of the innervation zone (IZ) of the external anal sphincter (EAS), e.g. during delivery, can promote the development of faecal incontinence. Recently developed probes allow high-resolution detection of EMG signals from the EAS.

Social reintegration of women after obstetric fistula surgery: Evidence from a longitudinal multilevel mixed‐effects study in Zambia

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Achieving continence remains central to obstetric fistula recovery because of its strong association with improved social reintegration. However, the marked gains observed during the first 3 months after surgery suggest that early postoperative follow‐up and reintegration support may be important even for women with persistent symptoms.

Treatment patterns and outcomes in perineal primary vulvar cancer—a population‐based Swedish cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Perineal vulvar squamous cell carcinoma was identified in 147 of 571 cases. Owing to the anatomical proximity of these tumors to the anus, treatment selection may present considerable clinical challenges. The majority of patients (53%) underwent surgical treatment alone, whereas 23% received surgery combined with adjuvant radiotherapy and 24% were ...
