We aim to provide an up-to-date literature review to further characterise the association of kidney stone disease (KSD) with gastrointestinal (GI) surgery. As KSD is associated with significant morbidity, it is important to quantify and qualify this association to provide better care and management for the patient subgroup.

Growing evidence in the literature suggests that obesity is capable of altering reproductive hormone levels and male fertility. Effects on classic semen parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), however, have not been properly established.

Bariatric surgery has shown reductions in overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms; however, the impacts on OAB treatment is unknown. The goal of our study is to evaluate the impact of bariatric surgery on OAB medication utilization.

The association of kidney stone disease (KSD) and gastrointestinal (GI) surgery has been well established. With a rising obesity crisis, we wanted to see the correlation of urinary composition in patients undergoing bariatric surgery and their risk of KSD.

To evaluate the relationship between obesity and urinary incontinence (UI) and to determine the effect of weight reduction on the severity of incontinence.

This is a consensus report of the proceedings of a Research Proposal from the annual International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society, 14 June to 16 June, 2018 (Bristol, UK): "What are the relationships between obesity and UI, and the effects of successful bariatric surgery?"

Obesity is an increasing problem worldwide and is associated with many adverse effects on health and quality of life.

There is scanty evidence on the impact of bariatric surgery on urinary incontinence (UI) in the Asian population.

Patients who underwent bariatric surgery from June 2018 to June 2019 were screened using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF) questionnaire.

There is enough evidence to support weight loss in order to improve urinary incontinence. Nevertheless, weight loss and maintaining a lower weight are not easy to achieve in the general population. Our study aims to evaluate whether bariatric surgery has a positive effect on the symptoms of urinary incontinence in female patients.

The worldwide prevalence of obesity is increasing among both sexes, with associated impacts on chronic health and medical comorbidities. Similarly, the effects of obesity on reproductive health are increasingly being recognized.

Female stress urinary incontinence is highly prevalent, and synthetic midurethral sling placement is the most common type of anti-incontinence surgery performed in the USA. We aimed to identify risk factors associated with surgery used to treated vaginal mesh exposure after midurethral sling placement for stress urinary incontinence.

Gall stone disease was known to increase after bariatric surgery. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) might reduce the gallstone formation rate after bariatric surgery. However, other option for gallstone prevention was unclear.

HOLLYWOOD, FL USA (UroToday.com) - Objective: To prospectively examine the effect of modem bariatric surgery on 24-hour urine parameters of patients in a comprehensive care bariatric practice.

The incidence of nocturia is increased in obesity, which causes significant negative impact on quality of life. Bariatric surgery is a reliable method in which to achieve major weight loss and this study aims to determine the effect of bariatric surgery on nocturia and other lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men and women.

To assess postoperative patient-reported quality of life outcomes following surgical management of adult acquired buried penis (AABP). We hypothesize that surgical treatment of AABP results in improvements in urinary and sexual quality of life.

Little is known regarding the effect of bariatric surgery on urinary incontinence.

Between September 2008 and November 2014, 240 female patients underwent bariatric surgery.

The prevalence of urinary incontinence preoperatively was 45 % (108).

There is a significant association between obesity and nocturia, which can cause a significant negative impact on quality of life. This meta-analysis aims to determine the effects of bariatric surgery on nocturia in both men and women.

Obesity and overweight are strongly associated with stress and urgency urinary incontinence, and weight loss has been associated with improvement in urinary incontinence. We aimed to measure pooled effect sizes for different weight loss procedures on incontinence-specific quality of life and incontinence cure rate in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Obesity has been shown to negatively impact pelvic floor support and associated urinary incontinence (UI), however little is known regarding the long-term effect of bariatric surgery on urinary incontinence.

Bariatric surgery is known to improve stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactive bladder disorders (OAB). However, there is little long-term follow-up in the literature.

To determine the long-term effect of bariatric procedures on SUI and OAB and their impact on quality of life, we applied the ICIQ and USP questionnaires.

Obesity is a worldwide public health issue that has severe psychological and social implications. Erectile dysfunction also is a prevalent clinical situation, and obesity is one of the primary risk factors for its development.
