Female Urology Update Lynnetta Faith Payne, DO, FACOS Urological Surgeon Female Urology Update Lynnetta Faith Payne, DO, FACOS Urological Surgeon Objectives: -diagnosis -risk factors -treatment UTI Incontinence 64 year old woman presents with a 3 year history of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) treated with multiple antibiotic courses by a walk-in clinic What are the clinical symptoms associated with UTI? Irritative symptoms Urgency Frequency Dysuria Hematuria Foul odor Suprapubic pain Upper tract infections (pyelonephritis) fevers rigors flank pain nausea and emesis Congested vasculatures and extensive lamina propria hemorrhage Can be accompanied by sloughing of surface urothelium, ulceration or cytologic atypia depending on the cause of hemorrhagic cystitis Patient reports presumed bladder infections which occur every month or two associated with dysuria, urgency, and frequency. No gross hematuria, flank pain, or fevers. What is the differential diagnosis? Many processes and conditions may mimic the symptoms of bacterial urinary tract infection, so it is critical to rule out other causes during the evaluation prior to initiating treatment. Urologic neoplasm Atrophic vaginitis Overactive bladder Trauma Congenital abnormalities Urethral diverticulum Sexually transmitted diseases – Herpes, Chlamydia, Trichomonas, Gonorrhea Urinary lithiasis Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome Sepsis from non-urologic source Interstitial cystitis Urethral diverticulum Renal atrophy Diagnosis of UTI Presentation of clinical symptoms Physical exam for atrophic vaginitis, urethral diverticulum etc Clean-catch midstream urine sample Chemical dipstick urinalysis Quantitative urine culture; In general > 100,000 colonies/ml diagnostic Dipstick urinalysis evaluation Leukocyte esterase 63-90% specific Nitrite very specific for gram negative but only 50% sensitive **Bottom Line Positive dipstick + symptoms: – consider treatment (and culture) Negative dipstick + symptoms: – consider culture When do you need radiologic imagining or further evaluation for diagnosis of UTI? Generally, uncomplicated cystitis or pyelonephritis does not benefit from imaging Consider CT, ultrasound, voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) and cystoscopic or ureteroscopic evaluation for patients with *known anatomic abnormality *those who do not respond to treatment Pathogenesis of urinary tract infections Ascending infection from periurethral area critical Hematogenous spread is uncommon Risk factors Reduced urine flow Obstruction, stricture, neurogenic bladder Factors that promote colonization Sexual activity, spermacide, estrogen depletion Facilitation of ascent Catheterization, incontinence, residual urine What bacteria are associated with urinary infections and what pathogenic factors from both bacteria and the host contribute to colonization? Uropathogens Escherichia coli (80% of outpatient UTIs) Klebsiella Enterobacter Proteus Pseudomonas Staphylococcus saprophyticus (5-15%) Enterococcus Candida Adenovirus Normal perineal flora: Lactobacillus, Corynebacteria, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, anaerobes -The bladder mucosal surface has antibacterial properties that eliminate some organisms, presumably through mucus trapping and a polymorphonuclear leukocyte response. -In addition, urine that has a low pH, high or very low osmolarity, high urea concentration, or high organic acid content inhibits bacterial growth -Abnormal micturition, a significant residual urine volume, or both will promote true infection. -There are also acquired and intrinsic host factors, as well as bacterial virulence factors, which increase the likelihood of development of UTI. What are some correctable Urologic abnormalities that may provoke bacterial persistence? Bacterial persistence Infected stones Fistula disease (colovesical, vesicovaginal) Unilateral infected atrophic kidneys Ureteral duplication and ectopic ureters Foreign bodies (such as retained ureteral stent) Urethral diverticula Unilateral medullary sponge kidneys Infected ureteral stump after nephrectomy Infected urachal or renal cyst Papillary necrosis Medullary sponge kidneys Kidney stones Patient found on exam to have poor water intake, atrophic vaginitis, and urine dipstick consistent with acute bacterial infection. What are the treatment options? Treatment Encourage hydration and behavioral measures to increase fluid intake Treat atrophic vaginitis with topical transvaginal estrogen if appropriate Determine if infection represents uncomplicated or complicated infection Uncomplicated UTI treatment 3 day course of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX) For local TMP/SMX resistance pattern > 20% , consider fluoroquinolones Full 7 day course in patients with diabetes, long duration of symptoms, pregnancy, > 65 years old, past history of pyelonephritis Complicated UTI treatment Culture essential Ampicillin + aminoglycoside Amp/Vancomycin + aminoglycoside or 3rd generation cephalosporin Adjust according to culture results If good clinical response, switch to oral agents in 48 hours Treat for 14 days Follow-up and general rules of thumb Test for cure by repeat culture for pregnancy, pyelonephritis, and complicated or relapsing UTI Consider single dose post-coital self-treatment in select cases Do not treat asymptomatic bacteruria Treatment often not indicated for patients on self catheterization protocols Urinary Incontinence Bladder dysfunction Urethral dysfunction Bladder dysfunction Urge incontinence detrusor overactivity detrusor overactivity of nonneurogenic origin detrusor overactivity of neurogenic origin poor compliance Overflow incontinence Urethral dysfunction Stress incontinence anatomic ( due to mobility of the bladder neck) Intrinsic sphincter deficiency (due to bladder neck dysfunction) Transient Causes of Incontinence Cause Comment Delirium Incontinence may be secondary to delirium and will often stop when acute delirium resolves. Infection Symptomatic infection may increase urinary tract irritation and resulting incontinence Atrophic vaginitis Vaginitis may result in the same symptoms of an infection. Pharmacologic Sedatives Alcohol and long-acting benzodiazepines may cause confusion and secondary incontinence. Diuretics brisk diuresis may overwhelm the bladder's capacity and cause uninhibited detrusor contractions, resulting in urge incontinence. Anticholinergics Many nonprescription and prescription medications have anticholinergic properties. Side effects of anticholinergics include urinary retention with associated frequency and overflow incontinence. Alpha-adrenergics Tone in the bladder neck and proximal sphincter is increased by alpha adrenergic agonists and can manifest with urinary retention, particularly in men with prostatism. Alpha-antagonists Tone in the smooth muscles of the bladder neck and proximal sphincter is decreased with alpha adrenergic antagonists. Women treated with these drugs for hypertension may develop or have an exacerbation of stress incontinence. Psychological Depression may be occasionally associated with incontinence. Excessive urine production Excessive intake, diabetes, hypercalcemia, congestive heart failure and peripheral edema can all lead to polyuria, which can exacerbate incontinence. Restricted mobility Incontinence may be precipitated or aggravated if the patient is unable to toilet in a timely fashion. Stool impaction Patients with impacted stool can have urge or overflow urinary incontinence and may also have concomitant fecal incontinence. Bladder dysfunction Storage Emptying Urge incontinence occurs when the bladder pressure is sufficient to overcome the sphincter mechanism. The sphincter is programmed to open during periods of elevated detrusor pressure and this occurs during normal voiding. Elevation in detrusor pressure may occur from abnormal bladder contractions also known as detrusor overactivity. Elevation in pressures also occur in a poorly compliant bladder. Detrusor overactivity with UUI Idiopathic Neurologic disease (detrusor overactivity of neurogenic origin) Detrusor overactivity is exceedingly common in the elderly and may be associated with bladder outlet obstruction Poor bladder compliance results from loss of the visicoelastic features of the bladder or because of a change in neural-regulatory activity Patients with urgency incontinence may appreciate a sudden sensation to void which is difficult to defer. Urge incontinence The patient may not be aware of the sensation of needing to void until they are actually leaking. The amount of leakage in patients with urgency incontinence is variable, depending on the patient's ability to suppress the contraction and the strength of their outlet. Patients with urgency incontinence will often manifest frequency, nocturia, and occasionally nocturnal enuresis. Overactive bladder has become the popularized term for describing patients with frequency and urgency with or without urgency incontinence. Overflow incontinence Occurs at extreme bladder volumes or when the bladder volume reaches the limit of the urethral mechanism or the bladder's viscoelastic properties The loss of urine is driven by an elevation in detrusor pressure which overcomes the outlet resistance Overflow incontinence is seen with incomplete bladder emptying caused either by obstruction or poor bladder contractility Obstruction is rare in women but can result from severe pelvic prolapse or following surgery for stress incontinence Patients with overflow incontinence will complain of constant dribbling and

Herein, we report a standardized, single-institution experience of surgical treatment of urethral diverticula in women. Methods The medical record of 37 female patients treated for urethral diverticula between 2005 and 2017 in a single institution were reviewed. All patients were operated in a standardized genupectoral position using a technical artifice called the pacifier trick to inflate diverticula throughout the procedure and facilitate its dissection. Symptoms at diagnosis, imaging findings, surgical parameters, postoperative complications, and recurrence rates were collected and are presented. Results Median age was 39 ± 11 (range 21–67) years. At diagnosis, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) (67%), vaginal mass (46%), pelvic pain (43%), dyspareunia (27%), and urinary incontinence (UI) (24%) were the most commonly reported symp- toms. Median operative time was 98 ± 31 (range 40–150) min. After a mean follow-up of 1 year, recurrence occurred in one (3%) patient. Immediate de novo postoperative UI decreased from 27% immediately after surgery to 3% after pelvic physical therapy. Pathological analyses found no malignant histology. Conclusions Surgical management of urethral diverticula in women is technically demanding.

The intent of this course is to present both the approach to evaluation and management of these complications from both the urologic and urogynecologic perspective of the combined faculty. The emphasis is on newer technologies and complications, both acute and chronic, which are associated with these various surgeries. The goal of this course will be to summarize, not only identification, but also evaluation and appropriate intervention, as well as patient counselling for these various complications. Educational Objectives This course will provide a detailed paradigm for avoiding, evaluating and managing complications of incontinence and prolapse surgery. Evidence continues to accrue in this area but it runs the spectrum from Level 1 to 5 with much being expert opinion. Unfortunately, very little cross comparison exists to support these differing interventions.

(585) 671‐6790 Fax (585) 671‐1931 USE OF THE PESSARY The pessary is one of the oldest medical devices available. Pessaries remain a useful device for the nonsurgical treatment of a number of gynecologic conditions including pelvic prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Pelvic Support Defects The pelvic organs including the bladder, uterus, and rectum are held in place by several layers of muscles and strong tissues. Weaknesses in this tissue can lead to pelvic support defects, or prolapse. Multiple vaginal deliveries can weaken the tissues of the pelvic floor. Weakness of the pelvic floor is also more likely in women who have had a hysterectomy or other pelvic surgery, or in women who have conditions that involve repetitive bearing down, such as chronic constipation, chronic coughing or repetitive heavy lifting. Although surgical repair of certain pelvic support defects offers a more permanent solution, some patients may elect to use a pessary as a very reasonable treatment option. Classification of Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is classified by degree. In first‐degree uterine prolapse, the cervix drops to just above the opening of the vagina. In third‐degree prolapse, or procidentia, the entire uterus is outside of the vaginal opening. Uterine prolapse can be associated with incontinence. Types of Vaginal Prolapse: . Cystocele ‐ refers to the bladder falling down . Rectocele ‐ refers to the rectum falling down . Enterocele ‐ refers to the small intestines falling down .

Diagnostic criteria are not agreed and epidemiology is not well known. Forms of urinary retention in women include: complete retention, incomplete or insufficient emptying and elevated post-void residual. It may be acute or chronic, symptomatic or asymptomatic. Etiology is multifactorial including anatomic or functional bladder outlet obstruction and bladder dysfunction related to neurological diseases, diabetes mellitus, aging, pharmacotherapy, pain and infective/inflammatory disease and idiopathic or unknown aetiology. This workshop will analyse and discuss physiopathology, evaluation and management of urinary retention in women from an integral, practical and evidence based approach. Learning Objectives 1. Identify urinary retention in women, its etiology and risk factors. 2. Carry out proper diagnosis of urinary retention in women as well as its relationship with risk and influent factors. 3. Properly manage female acute and chronic acute and chronic urinary retention with the different approaches including conservative, medical and surgical therapies.
