    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Urge incontinence and detrusor instability significantly impact quality of life.
    • Conventional non-operative treatments often fail for severe cases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of bladder transection for treating urge incontinence.
    • To document subjective and objective outcomes of the surgical procedure.

    Main Methods:

    • Twenty-three adult patients with refractory urge incontinence underwent bladder transection.
    • The surgical technique was described in detail.
    • Outcomes were assessed for subjective normality and objective improvement.

    Main Results:

    • Subjective normality was restored in 78% of treated patients.
    • Objective evidence of improvement was documented.
    • The surgical technique proved effective in a challenging patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Bladder transection is a viable surgical option for incapacitating urge incontinence.
    • The procedure offers significant subjective and objective benefits when conservative treatments fail.
