“…The study concentrated on an evaluation of the association between smoking and urgency in both genders, in contrast to the previous studies evaluating either the association of smoking with lower urinary tract symptoms in middle–aged and elderly men [15]or with incontinence (both stress and urge incontinence) in adult women [16, 17]. In spite of the fact that our study material was collected some 20 years ago, it can be considered valuable and reliable in that such epidemiological materials concerning normal populations are rare and it is highly unlikely that the main subject of our study has changed in any way during these years.…”

“…Hormonal factors such as the anti–oestrogenic effect of smoking could also be involved [16]. In another case–control study a relationship was found between smoking and incontinence in women [17]. The incontinence smokers were significantly more often prone to develop urge than stress incontinence.…”

“…Little is known so far of the possible effects of smoking on the bladder function. In recent studies smoking has been reported to be associated with an increased risk of lower urinary tract symptoms in middle–aged and elderly men [15], and a relationship has been found between smoking and incontinence in adult women [16, 17]. In another study no significant relation of continence status to smoking and alcohol or caffeine intake was discovered in middle–aged women [18].…”

“…The cessation of smoking is advised since this habit causes respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic cough that have perineal repercussions (12). Weight control is necessary since obesity is a risk factor for the development of SUI, with overweight increasing the intra-abdominal pressure that influences the perineal musculature (13).…”

Purpose: To compare the outcomes and costs of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery using a hand-made sling (Marlex®) versus a commerciallyavailable suburethral polypropylene sling (Advantage®). Materials and Methods: Thirty-nine women with SUI due to bladder neck hypermobility and/or sphincter incompetence diagnosed by clinical examination and urodynamic studies were divided into two groups: group 1 (n = 19) consisted of patients from an academic center (Department of Urology, University Hospital of Federal University of Maranhao, and group 2 (n = 20) patients from private practice. The hand-made polypropylene suburethral sling was used in group 1 and the commercial sling in group 2. The patients were evaluated 30, 60 and 90 days after surgery. Results: The mean duration of surgery was 43 min. in group 1 and 51 min. in group 2. No postoperative voiding difficulties were observed in group 1 (100%), as well as, in 94.7% of patients of group 2. A bladder catheter was not required in any of the patients of the two groups at the end of the study. The level of satisfaction was 100% in group 1, whereas, one patient of group 2 considered the surgery to be unsuccessful. Urodynamic studies showed low amplitude uninhibited contraction in 11.1% of patients of group 1 and 10.5% of group 2. No complications were observed in either group. Conclusion: The hand-made polypropylene mesh (Marlex®) can be used for sling procedures, saving costs and yielding results similar to that obtained with commercial sling systems.

“…However, the mechanism by which smoking affects the functioning of the lower urinary tract is still not very clear. Some case-control studies suggest an increased association of smoking with stress urinary incontinence [13], while other studies suggest an increased association of smoking with detrusor overactivity (DO) [14]. …”

The aim of the study was to evaluate the urodynamic findings in women who smoke cigarettes, with bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms, to help develop an understanding of potential impact of smoking on the lower urinary tract function. Methods: A database of 11,678 women who underwent urodynamic testing in a tertiary referral centre in the United Kingdom, from January 1991 to December 2009 was retrospectively analysed. All women reporting cigarette smoking were included in the study group. Urodynamic testing and interpretation of results were done in accordance with the recommendations of the International Continence Society. Results: Overall, 2,476 (21.2%) women reported smoking cigarettes. Overactive bladder symptoms (OAB) were more common in smokers (OR 1.14, p = 0.006). Female smokers significantly complained of secondary nocturnal enuresis (OR 2.26, p < 0.001) and coital incontinence (CI; OR 1.14, p < 0.001). Detrusor overactivity (DO; OR 1.42, p < 0.001) and detrusor overactivity incontinence (DOI; OR 1.42, p < 0.001) were the most significant urodynamic findings. Smoking was not shown to be significantly associated with SUI (OR 1.08, p = 0.213) or urodynamic stress incontinence (OR 0.86, p = 0.001). Conclusion: Cigarette smoking is associated with OAB, secondary nocturnal enuresis and CI. DO and DOI are the most significant urodynamic findings.
