RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Chronic idiopathic urinary retention (CIUR) in young women is poorly understood and a probable etiology is established only in around 40%, most commonly a primary disorder of external urethral sphincter relaxation, sometimes referred to as Fowler's syndrome. A high prevalence of psychological and functional comorbidities is reported, however these have been poorly characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Women consecutively referred for the assessment and management of CIUR were evaluated cross-sectionally for 13 psychological/behavioral domains using a structured clinical interview: depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), other psychiatric history, functional neurological disorder, other functional syndromes, childhood and adult trauma, personality disorder, and self-harm (ever/current). RESULTS: A total of 91 women (mean age [SD]: 34 [11] years) were evaluated. Women with Fowler's syndrome (n = 69) were younger (mean age [SD]: 32 [9] vs 40 [13] years) than women without Fowler's syndrome and reported shorter mean duration of urinary symptoms (mean [SD]: 5 [6] vs 10 [9]). A high prevalence of psychiatric and psychological comorbidities was reported (97%) including current depression (77%), current anxiety (78%), and PTSD (32%). A high prevalence of functional neurological disorder (56%) and other functional symptoms (65%) was also reported. Self-harm was reported in (14%) and personality disorder in 16%. Childhood trauma was reported in 35% of women. CONCLUSIONS: Young women with CIUR report a high burden of psychiatric disorders, affective symptoms, trauma, PTSD, self-harm, and functional neurological disorder, particularly in those with Fowler's syndrome. These factors can undermine the engagement with health care professionals and affect management and should therefore be addressed during the urological assessment.

The combination of a severe urethral sphincter defect with simultaneous development of recurrent bladder outlet obstruction characterizes a "devastated bladder outlet", which often is not surgically reconstructable. Clinically, quality of life is considerably compromised in affected patients with a wide variance of symptoms, mostly complete incontinence, but also urinary retention. This condition is usually preceded by multiple endoscopic interventions or even open surgical procedures, occasionally also in combination with radiotherapy of the pelvic region as part of multimodal oncological therapy. Treatment of these cases is complex and limited to few promising procedures. A potential therapy should primarily include the decision about the possibility of preserving the urinary bladder. In individual cases, this can result in simple therapy options while at the same time maintaining an acceptable quality of life for those affected. If there is no possibility of a refunctionalization of the original bladder, supravesical urinary diversion is indicated as a last-resort therapy. This paper provides a review as well as the limits and possibilities of conservative and surgical treatment options for a devastated bladder outlet.

PURPOSE: Prostate biopsy complications have important consequences that may affect patient compliance with rebiopsy schemes. However, to our knowledge this has not been studied in earnest. Thus, we evaluated whether previous prostate biopsy related complications and the type of complication were associated with repeat prostate biopsy compliance in a clinical trial with study mandated systematic biopsies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 4,939 men 50 to 75 years old who underwent 2-year prostate biopsy and were recommended to undergo 4-year prostate rebiopsy in the REDUCE (Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events) study. The analyzed biopsy complications were hematuria, urinary tract infection, acute urinary retention and hemospermia. RESULTS: A total of 260 men (5.3%) had a 2-year prostate biopsy related complication, including hematuria in 180 (3.6%), urinary tract infection in 36 (0.7%), acute urinary retention in 26 (0.5%) and hemospermia in 102 (2.1%). A total of 474 men (9.6%) were noncompliant with 4-year rebiopsy. On univariable analysis any previous complication (OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.08-2.24, p = 0.018), urinary tract infection (OR 2.72, 95% CI 1.23-6.00, p = 0.013), acute urinary retention (OR 4.24, 95% CI 1.83-9.81, p = 0.016) and hemospermia (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.03-3.06, p = 0.037) were associated with rebiopsy noncompliance. Hematuria was not associated with rebiopsy noncompliance (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.74-1.91, p = 0.483). Results were unchanged on multivariable analysis, including for any complication (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.08-2.26, p = 0.018), for urinary tract infection (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.07-3.21, p = 0.029), for acute urinary retention (OR 4.51, 95% CI 1.93-10.54, p = 0.001), for hemospermia (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.07-3.21, p = 0.029) and for hematuria (OR 1.19, 95% CI 0.74-1.93, p = 0.472). CONCLUSIONS: In men who undergo repeat prostate biopsy a previous biopsy related complication and the type of complication were associated with lower compliance with rebiopsy schemes. Patients who experience biopsy related complications are ideal candidates to receive intervention regarding the importance of prostate rebiopsy to prevent noncompliance.

AIMS: Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an effective treatment for patients with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) or non-obstructive urinary retention (NOR). These lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are the result of a functional urological cause but often coincide with psychological and/or psychiatric factors. It has been stated that there is an association between LUTS, depression and anxiety disorders. With this study we will investigate whether affective symptoms and quality of life (QoL) improve after successful SNM. METHODS: All patients eligible for SNM between March 2013 and March 2016, filled out the HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), SF-36 (Short Form-36) and either the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire (ICIQ) on Male/Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (M/F-LUTS), or the OAB-q questionnaire, before and after the test procedure. Symptom improvement of ≥50% was considered as success. Results were analyzed by paired T-tests and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: In total 95 patients were included. Mean age was 52.1 (SD 13.9). Fifty-six patients (59%) were implanted. Successful OAB patients reported a significant improvement in all domains of OAB-q, health change and affective symptoms. Successful NOR patients showed a significant improvement in voiding symptoms (P = 0.04) and health change (P = 0.03). However, they did not report significant improvement in affective symptoms. CONCLUSION: QoL and affective symptoms can significantly improve in LUTS patients who are successfully treated with SNM. When divided per indication, a significant improvement in affective symptoms together with QoL was only reported in successful OAB patients and not in successfully treated NOR patients.

PURPOSE: The main objective of this study was to reveal the relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and post-void residual (PVR) urine volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between October 2014 and February 2015, older than 40 years patients were included in this study. Volunteers filled out a questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristics, comorbidities, medications, history of surgery and LUTS. Volunteers were undergone PVR measurement with transabdominal ultrasonography. The relationship between symptoms, demographic characteristics and PVR were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 939 patients (756 men and 183 women) were enrolled in this study. There was a positive correlation between the sensation of incomplete bladder emptying and PVR volume in all age groups of women (p=0.0001). However such a relationship was found only over the age of 60 in the subgroup analysis of men (p=0.001). PVR volume increased in men by age (0.65 mL per year of age, p=0.011). In men, voiding symptoms and urgency were associated with a high PVR volume. In women, storage and voiding symptoms (except slow stream and terminal dribble) did not correlate with PVR volume. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that all men over the age of 60 years and all women with the complaint of feeling of incomplete emptying should undergone PVR measurement. Women with the complaint of poor stream and men mainly with voiding symptoms are other candidates in whom PVR measurement would be considered as an important tool in the clinical management and follow-up.

OBJECTIVE: We assessed the effectiveness and durability of 532 nm laser photovaporization with GreenLight XPS in men with and without preoperative urinary retention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 2010 to 2017 we prospectively studied men who underwent photovaporization of the prostate (PVP) for obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to BPH. The cohort was retrospectively divided into those with catheter dependent retention and those with elective PVP. Primary endpoints were catheter-free rate and improvement in quality of life (QoL) scores, international prostate symptom score (IPSS), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), and postvoid residual (PVR). The secondary endpoints of the study were complication outcomes as defined by the standardized Clavien-Dindo grading system. RESULTS: One hundred thirty-seven men with preoperative retention and 195 men without preoperative retention underwent PVP. Men with preoperative retention were older (70 years vs 66 years; p < 0.001), had a higher American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) score, and had a higher prevalence of neurologic disease (8% vs 2.6%; p = 0.04). These men also had a larger prostate volume (76 cc vs 69 cc; p < 0.001) and higher prostate specific antigen (5 ng/mL vs 2.7 ng/mL; p < 0.001) than those without retention. Patients with preoperative retention also had higher preoperative baseline IPSS and QoL score. After PVP they improved to values similar to those without retention, with durability up to 24 months. After PVP, men in preoperative retention had similar rates to fail their first void trial (18.2% vs 10.3%, p = 0.053). There was a 96% catheter-free rate in the men with preoperative retention. The rate of complication was higher in the nonretention group, specifically at 90 days (35.4% vs 21.2%; p = 0.009), with almost all the complications being Clavien-Dindo grade 2. CONCLUSION: PVP is an effective, safe, and durable treatment for men in acute urinary retention (AUR) with a catheter-free rate of 96%. The improvement is similar to those who did not present in AUR.

BACKGROUND: Underactive bladder (UAB) is considered the symptom complex associated with the urodynamic diagnosis of detrusor underactivity. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to investigate the patient reported experience of the symptoms, signs, and impact of UAB. This research is also part of the initial qualitative phase for the development of a new patient reported outcome measure for the assessment of UAB. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Qualitative methods were used to understand the experience of UAB from a patient perspective, in a purposive sample of male (n=29) and female (n=15) patients aged 27-88 yr (mean: 64 yr), diagnosed with a primary diagnosis of detrusor underactivity, with or without coexisting urological conditions. Semistructured interviews were conducted in Bristol, UK. RESULTS: Male and female patients reported a variety of lower urinary tract symptoms and associated impact on quality of life. Storage symptoms of nocturia, increased daytime frequency, and urgency, and the voiding symptoms of slow stream, hesitancy, and straining were reported by over half of the patients. A sensation of incomplete emptying and postmicturition dribble were also frequently described. Most had a post void residual >30ml (n=34, 77%, median: 199ml) with many reporting urinary tract infections, a history of self-catheterisation, and some experiencing occasional acute retention episodes. These symptoms and signs can have a broad impact on quality of life including having to plan their daily activities around the location of toilets, disruption to sleep, social life, and associated effect on family and friends. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of the lived experience of UAB obtained in the current study will be used for the development of a new patient reported outcome measure and help inform the current working definition of UAB. PATIENT SUMMARY: The symptoms, signs, and impact on quality of life of underactive bladder are described by patients with the condition.

BACKGROUND: Paruresis, or "shy bladder syndrome", is a relatively common anxiety disorder, yet little is known about the causes of, and effective treatments for this disabling condition. AIM: This report describes a case study in which a man (Peter) presenting with paruresis was treated using formulation-driven CBT, which aimed to address the idiosyncratic processes that were maintaining his anxiety and avoidance of urinating in public. METHOD: Peter attended 12 sessions of CBT including one follow-up session a month after treatment had ended. Treatment involved collaboratively developing an idiosyncratic case conceptualization (identifying longitudinal and cross-sectional factors involved in the development and maintenance of his difficulties), followed by a number of standard cognitive and behavioural interventions commonly used in evidence-based CBT protocols for other anxiety disorders. Peter completed sessional outcome measures of paruresis symptomatology, anxiety, depression, social anxiety and functional impairment. RESULTS: Peter subjectively found the intervention helpful and his scores on all of the outcome measures reduced over the course of his therapy, and were maintained at one month follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: This report adds to the scarce literature regarding effective treatments for individuals suffering with paruresis. Limitations of the design are acknowledged and ideas for further research in this area are discussed.

PURPOSE: Urinary catheterization is a common technique in clinical practice. There is, however, no consensus on management prior to removal of the indwelling catheter for short-term patients. This systematic review examined the necessity of clamping before removal of an indwelling urinary catheter in short-term patients. METHODS: A systematic literature review was conducted using eight databases and predetermined keywords-guided searches. Some 2,515 studies were evaluated. Ten studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected. RESULTS: The quality of the studies was assessed using the Jadad scoring system. Only 40.0% of studies were rated as high quality. This review found that catheter clamping prior to removal was not necessary for the short-term patient. When made a comparison with the unclamping group, there was no significant difference in recatheterization risk, risk of urine retention, patients' subjective perceptions and rate of urinary tract infection. CONCLUSIONS: This review indicated that bladder training by clamping prior to removal of urinary catheters is not necessary in short-term catheter patients. In addition, clamping carries the risk of complications such as prolonging urinary catheter retention and urinary tract injury. Further investigation requires higher quality methodologies and more diverse study designs.

Urinary tract dysfunction in older patients has a multifactorial aetiology and is not a uniform clinical condition. Changes due to physiological ageing as well as comorbidity and polypharmacy, can produce several dynamic conditions such as urinary incontinence and urinary retention. Lower urinary tract symptoms increase with age in both sexes and are a major problem in older patients due to their medical and psychosocial consequences. For these reasons, in assessing urinary dysfunction in older patients, we should consider external circumstances such as polypharmacy, poor mobility, affective and cognitive disorders and also accessibility to housing.

AIMS: It has been reported that somatic treatment in patients with affective symptoms has a higher risk of failure. The aim was to investigate whether affective symptoms could predict the outcome of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). METHODS: All patients that underwent a SNM evaluation between 2006 and 2013 and filled out a Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS) before treatment, were included. Chi-square analysis and bivariate logistic regression were used to assess associations and predictive value. RESULTS: Eighty-six patients were included, 65 females and 21 males. Most patients, 66, had overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). The remaining 20 patients suffered from non-obstructive urinary retention (NOR). Thirty-nine OAB patients and 17 NOR patients, had a normal total HADS score before treatment. Significantly more patients showed abnormal HADS-D (P = 0.047) and HADS-A (P = 0.015) scores in the OAB group compared to the NOR group. Success of SNM could not be predicted by the HADS score P = 0.464 (after 1 year P = 0.446). Subsequent analysis revealed that an abnormal HADS score was not related to the occurrence of SNM adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: The present study did not reveal a significant relationship between an abnormal HADS score and failure of the SNM test period in a mixed group of OAB and NOR patients. However, differences between OAB and NOR patients concerning affective symptoms were present. It is known that psychological factors play a role in the severity of LUTS, but they may not predict SNM outcome. Neurourol. Urodynam. 35:1011-1016, 2016. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To examine the health-related quality of life and psychological well-being of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and identify the predictive factors of health-related quality of life. BACKGROUND: Benign prostatic hyperplasia is highly prevalent in ageing men and causes bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms, which has a negative impact on their health-related quality of life. The current practice of managing benign prostatic hyperplasia focuses on relieving physical symptoms. However, the impact of benign prostatic hyperplasia on the patients' health-related quality of life and psychological well-being remains understudied, especially in the Asian population. DESIGN: A descriptive correlational survey study. METHODS: A convenience sample of 97 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia was recruited at an outpatient urology clinic of a tertiary hospital in Singapore. The health-related quality of life, lower urinary tract symptoms and psychological well-being of the participants were assessed using the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey, International Prostate Symptom Score and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, respectively. RESULTS: The health-related quality of life scores were low with physical and mental health component scores of 47·0 and 48·9, respectively, as assessed by the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey. There was a high prevalence of anxiety (10·3%) and depression (21·6%). Correlation analysis revealed significantly negative relationships between lower urinary tract symptoms, anxiety, depression and physical and mental health dimensions of the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey. Multiple linear regression analysis further identified that postvoid residual urine and lower urinary tract symptoms were predictive factors of the physical health dimension, whereas anxiety and depression were predictive factors of the mental health dimension of the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey. CONCLUSIONS: The health-related quality of life of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia was poor, and their psychological well-being was severely affected. Postvoid residual urine, lower urinary tract symptoms, anxiety and depression were identified to be significant predictive factors of the health-related quality of life of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Findings from this study provide useful evidence-based information for healthcare professionals in the development and implementation of effective and culturally sensitive interventions to improve the health-related quality of life and psychological well-being of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

AIM: The aim of the present study was to evaluate risk factors for postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in female patients with femoral neck fractures. METHODS: We recruited 72 female patients (age 86.5 ± 6.7 years) from among 90 cases of hip surgery carried out between January and December 2011 at Goto Chuo Hospital. We evaluated the risk factors for POUR, including the administration of anticholinergic drugs, diabetes mellitus, preoperative dementia and/or delirium, neurological disorders, age, hypertension, overactive bladder, and the postoperative duration of the use of an indwelling urethral catheter using a multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: In the present study, POUR occurred in eight out of 72 cases (11.1%). The multivariate analysis showed that the indwelling period of the urethral catheter (per 1-day increase; P = 0.04, OR 0.33 95% CI 0.11-0.96), and preoperative dementia and/or delirium (P = 0.03, OR10.4, 95%CI 1.21-89.2) correlated with the occurrence of POUR. Diabetes mellitus (P = 0.78), anticholinergic agents (P = 0.23), neurological disorders (P = 0.83), age (P = 0.86), hypertension (P = 0.76) and overactive bladder (P = 0.34) did not significantly correlate with the occurrence of POUR. CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that the early removal of the urethral catheter, and preoperative dementia and/or delirium had significant correlations with POUR. The femoral neck fractures and the surgical procedure used for the hip surgery do not induce damage to the bladder and nerve system related to the voiding function, and the voiding function in all of the patients recovered after short-term intermittent catheterization. Physicians should not place permanent indwelling urethral catheters without carrying out urological assessments.

UNLABELLED: Paruresis is the inability to urinate in situations where there is perception of scrutiny, or potential scrutiny, by others. According to DSM-5, paruresis is classified as social phobia. AIM: The present study aims at offering a clinical description of the disorder in a sample of paruretics voluntarily recruited among users registered on an Italian website dedicated to people suffering from this disorder (www.paruresis.it). METHODS: Data were collected through a set of questionnaires published online, including assessment and screening measures for paruresis (Paruresis Checklist), generalized social phobia (Mini-SPIN) and depression (Beck Depression Inventory). RESULTS: 65 participants showed clinically relevant symptoms of paruresis, as suggested by a PCL score above the threshold. Mean age was 28 ys (SD= ± 7.75 ys); most of participants were male (87.7%; N=57). Although gender differences in the clinical manifestations of the disorder appear limited, the variable mostly connected to the severity of paruresis is the presence of a further diagnosis of generalized social phobia. DISCUSSION: Paruresis is a clinical condition associated with high level of distress on which, however, there is limited knowledge among mental health professionals.

PURPOSE: To show that prostatic artery embolization (PAE) improves quality of life (QoL) and lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with acute urinary retention caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a single-center prospective study of PAE in 11 patients with BPH managed with indwelling urinary catheters. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), ultrasound, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, QoL, and urodynamic tests were used to assess outcomes. Prostate size ranged from 30 to 90 g, and embolizations were performed with 300-500-µm Embosphere microspheres. RESULTS: The rate of technical success (ie, bilateral PAE) was 75%, and the rate of clinical success (ie, catheter removal and symptom improvement) was 91% (10 of 11 patients). Postembolization syndrome manifested as mild pain in the perineum, retropubic area, and/or urethra. Ten of 11 patients urinated spontaneously after Foley catheter removal 4-25 days after PAE (mean, 12.1 d). No major complications were observed. Follow-up ranged from 19 to 48 months. In an asymptomatic patient, a discrete area of hypoperfusion suggesting small ischemia of the bladder was observed on 30-day MR imaging follow-up, but the bladder was normal on 90-day MR imaging. After 1 year, mean prostate volume reduction was greater than 30%, symptoms were mild (mean IPSS, 2.8 ± 2.1; P = .04), no erectile dysfunction was observed, and QoL improved significantly (mean, 0.4 ± 0.5; P = .001) using the paired t test. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with severe symptoms and acute urinary retention caused by BPH can be treated safely by PAE, which improves clinical symptoms and QoL.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the difference in vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) rates after open radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) vs robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and to analyze associated factors and effect on quality of life. METHODS: From 2001 to 2009, a total of 1038 patients underwent RARP and 707 patients underwent open RRP. Perioperative factors and Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) quality of life scores were compared between patients who did and did not develop a VUAS. Independent significant predictors of VUAS development were identified using multivariable modeling. RESULTS: The incidence of VUAS in open RRP cases was higher (53/707, 7.5%) than for RARP (22/1038, 2.1%) (P<.0001). Intervention consisted of dilation in 34 of 75 cases (45.3%), internal urethrotomy in 8 of 75 (10.7%), and multiple procedures in 30 of 75 (40%). Open technique (P<.0001, odds ratio [OR]=3.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.8-5.2), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) recurrence (P=.02, OR=2.2, 95% CI=1.2-4.1), postoperative hematuria (P=.02, OR=3.7, 95% CI=1.2-11.3), urinary leak (P=.002, OR=6.0, 95% CI=1.9-19.2), and urinary retention (P=.004, OR=3.5, 95% CI=1.5-8.7) were significant independent predictors of VUAS development. EPIC incontinence scores were similar between VUAS and non-VUAS patients, whereas irritative voiding scores were worse initially with VUAS but became similar by 12 months. CONCLUSION: There is a higher rate of VUAS after open RRP vs RARP. Most cases of VUAS require endoscopic intervention. Predictors include open surgery, PSA recurrence, and postoperative hematuria, urinary leak, and retention. There is no diminution of quality of life scores at 12 months.
