Underactivity Articles

The aim of this study was to review the evidence regarding the pathophysiology of detrusor underactivity in the elderly.

A literature review was conducted in July 2016 using the Medline/Pubmed database limiting the search to works in English or French.

To determine the influence of preoperative detrusor underactivity (DU) on serial long-term outcomes of HPS/PVP or HoLEP for LUTS/BPH, and to compare the influence between the two surgeries.

A total of 382 men, who underwent 120W-HPS/PVP or HoLEP for LUTS/BPH and for whom 36-month follow-up data were available, were classified into four groups: HPS with DU (n = 145), HPS without DU (n = 44), HoLEP with DU (n = 105), and HoLEP without DU (n = 88).

To investigate detrusor pressure during voiding in women using urodynamic studies (UDS).

The study group comprised 57 women with non-neurogenic lower urinary tract symptoms. All patients underwent UDS between January 2010 and December 2014.

To investigate the impact of preoperative DU on serial treatment outcomes during five years after photovaporization (PV) or holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) in BPH patients, to compare its impact between PV and HoLEP, and to identify predictors of long-term lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) improvement.

To evaluate impacts of preoperative detrusor underactivity (DU) on outcomes of PVP or HoLEP for BPH, and to compare them between the two surgeries.

A total of 1,423 men, who underwent PVP (group A) or HoLEP (group B), were categorized into four groups: A1 (239 without DU), A2 (432 with DU), B1 (329 without DU) and B2 (423 with DU).
