简要总结
Idiopathic overactive bladder syndrome (iOAB) is a prevalent condition in urological practice. The variability in management between specialists and between centers remains high. Even guidelines are not always clear on the treatment management of drug therapy resistant OAB. Standardization in OAB treatment is needed.
详细描述
Guidelines on the overactive bladder syndrome (European Association of Urology, American Urology Association and International Consultation on Incontinence) are comparable but remain vague mainly on the level between conservative and major surgery. They do not specify combinations of medications and do not distinguish between intradetrusor botulinum toxin injections (BTX) and sacral neuromodulation (SNM) because of lack of evidence.
To reduce the variability in the treatment management of OAB, standardization is needed.
By use of a Delphi technique, the current perception of Belgian urologists towards the most appropriate treatment approach for idiopathic OAB (iOAB) was explored.
Based on these results a practical treatment algorithm for its use in daily clinical practice could be developed.
