Video Transcription

Video Summary

This session focused on different aspects of urinary incontinence and its treatment. The first study presented was a retrospective analysis of sacral neuromodulation procedures performed by urologists, gynecologists, and colorectal surgeons in New York State. The analysis showed an increase in the number of implants performed by gynecologists and colorectal surgeons, while the number of implants performed by urologists decreased. The study also highlighted the higher revision rate among urologists with subspecialty training compared to those without subspecialty certification.<br /><br />The second study investigated the effects of acupuncture on urinary incontinence and quality of life in women with kidney ischemia. The results showed improvements in quality of life scores and reduction in the severity of urinary incontinence symptoms after acupuncture treatment.<br /><br />The third study focused on post-void residuals in patients treated with Botox for overactive bladder. The analysis showed that the majority of patients had post-void residuals of less than 200 ml, and only a small percentage required intermittent self-catheterization.<br /><br />The session also included a study on the prevalence and impact of nocturnal polyuria in women. The analysis showed that the prevalence of nocturnal polyuria varied depending on the definition used, and that it had an impact on urinary incontinence symptoms and quality of life.<br /><br />Overall, the studies presented in this session provided insights into the different treatment modalities for urinary incontinence and their impact on patients' symptoms and quality of life.
