24-hour rectal manometry for overactive bladder.

18 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: We describe prolonged rectal manometry used to characterize rectal motor activity patterns and possible rectum-bladder interaction during defecation and micturition in children with nonneuropathic overactive bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: ... Read more...

Prospective assessment of overactive bladder symptoms in women who have undergone transvaginal surgery for advanced vaginal wall prolapse: a preliminary report.

30 Jul 2009 AIM: To evaluate the changes in symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) on the advanced cystocele after restoration of prolapse using the Perigee system. METHODS: This prospective clinical study recorded 16 women for the Perigee procedure due to ... Read more...

Bladder sensation measures and overactive bladder.

16 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: We performed a prospective multicomponent study to determine whether subjective and objective bladder sensation instruments may provide data on sensory dysfunction in patients with overactive bladder. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 70 ... Read more...
