Comments for Anatomy, Physiology and Urodynamics Hann-Chorng Kuo Department of Urology Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital
Similarities in LUTD in Men & Women • Detrusor overactivity (idiopathic, obstructive, neurogenic) • Bladder neck dysfunction • Spastic urethral sphincter (Dysfunctional voiding) • Poor relaxation of pelvic floor muscles • Urethral stricture & meatal stenosis
Treatment of Detrusor overactivity refractory to anticholinergics • Botulinum toxin A: reduces detrusor contractility, lessens urgency incontinence, impairs voiding efficiency • Intravesical resiniferatoxin: high dose (10 µM) inhibits detrusor overactivity & reduces detrusor contractility; low dose (10 nM) inhibit overactivity without impairs contractility
Interpretation of Urodynamics • BOO is a graded condition, surgery is indicated only when BOO resulting in voiding dysfunction and severe LUTS • SUI contains detrusor overactivity occurred on stress and genuine stress incontinence • Intrinsic sphincter insufficiency & hypermobility may coexist in GSI, surgical correction should base on pathophysiology
Consideration in Treatment of Voiding Dysfunction • Combination of pathophysiology? • Accurate diagnosis is the basis of treatment • Choice of investigation: as simple as possible? or videourodynamics? • Surgery? or medical treatment? or physiotherapy? • Adverse effect vs. therapeutic effect?
