Phenotyping Overactive Bladder – Part 2: Can Management be Improved by Phenotyping, and Targeting Therapy According to Urgency Type and Other Characteristics? ICI‐RS 2025

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Management of overactive bladder (OAB) has a stepwise approach in adults and children. This does not account for individual patient variations, which may explain suboptimal outcomes in many patients. Distinct OAB profiles, based on patient characteristics, symptoms, urodynamic findings and imaging have been discussed in Part 1 ...

Which Patients With Dysfunctional Voiding Respond Well to Sacral Neuromodulation? ICI‐RS 2025

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Dysfunctional voiding (DV) is characterised by fluctuating or intermittent urinary flow during voiding in neurologically normal individuals. Given the different definitions used and heterogeneous pathophysiologies, outcomes following sacral neuromodulation/sacral nerve stimulation (SNM/SNS) are variably reported.
