Stress Urinary Incontinence And Voiding Dysfunction Articles

Chicago, Illinois (UroToday.com) Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a potential complication of treatment for localized prostate cancer in men. Yet myths about the incidence and treatment of this complication persist—and can stand in the way of providing the most effective treatments, according to Victor Nitti, MD, Professor of Urology and Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Vice Chairman of the Department of Urology at New York University Langone Medical Center.  Dr. Nitti spoke about male SUI after prostate cancer treatment at a Continuing Medical Education (CME) session, “Optimizing Bladder Disease Management,” at the 2016 annual meeting of the Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA) in Chicago.

Role of urodynamics prior to surgery of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is under constant debate. Demonstration of the presence of detrusor overactivity is the only aspect that has been emphasized in the literature so far.
