Abstract

Purpose of Review

The current literature available to providers on urgency urinary incontinence in orthotopic neobladder patients will be reviewed.

Recent Findings

In this review, we will examine the most recent studies evaluating potential therapies for urgency urinary incontinence in neobladder patients.

Summary

Urgency urinary incontinence in patients with neobladders is a challenging symptom to manage for both patients and providers, both due to the pathophysiology as well as a lack of data on effective therapies. Given the similar symptom profile to patients with overactive bladder as well as comparable functional derangement to irritable bowel syndrome, we explore the potential use of traditional overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome therapies in this patient population. Further study is needed in the diagnostic workup and management in urgency neobladder urinary incontinence.
