There is an ongoing debate in functional urology forums about the role and utility of urodynamics as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for patients with urinary incontinence. Current evidence suggests that in a limited number of patients with pure stress urinary incontinence (those without relevant urogynaecological comorbidities and a low postvoid residual volume of urine), urodynamic studies can be avoided, although this opinion remains controversial. PATIENT SUMMARY: Stress urinary incontinence is highly prevalent and surgical treatment is frequently needed. Read More

Introduction: Lumbar juxtafacet cysts (JFCs) are a common cause of lumbar radiculopathy which tend to occur in areas of increased facet mobility. While resection alone is a possible treatment, recent publications suggest that laminectomy alone for JFCs may not yield as favorable an outcome as laminotomies reinforced with posterior dynamic hardware. The Coflex is a novel interlaminar stabilization device that has been shown to achieve comparable results to rigid fusion in the management of lumbar stenosis in patients with no more than grade one anterolisthesis, and superior performance compared to laminectomy alone when a combined outcome score was used.

The surgical mesh material used in the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in women is associated with significant complications in some women. This has recently become a public health issue with involvement of national parliaments and regulatory bodies. The occurrence of mesh complications is thought to be a result of multifactorial processes involving problems related to the material design, the surgical techniques used and disease, and patient-related factors.

The review article presents information from foreign and domestic authors on the relevance of studying the incidence of men with bening prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Complex urodynamic studies (CUDS) remains the most informative test of the degree of expression of LUTS and bladder outlet obstruction () caused by BPH. The difficulty in interpreting the results, the invasiveness and inaccessibility of CUDS in the routine practice of most medical institutions makes it necessary to perform relatively simpler and more accessible methods of research, which do not always objectively reflect the degree of urinary incontinence in older men.
