Impact on urinary incontinence after management of complications related to a retropubic midurethral sling
ConclusionsMobilization of the MUS must be considered the optimal treatment for POUR when CISC fails. It is the most effective intervention with the best effect on POUR and the lowest risk of incontinence. Concerning vaginal exposure, a trial of recovering should be attempted as the risk of incontinence when undergoing a partial removal of the MUS is considerable.

Comparative study of two different rat models of stress urinary incontinence
ConclusionsModels of stress urinary incontinence in rats can be successfully established by both modeling methods. In terms of LPP, model groups A and B had lower values than the control group, and model group A had lower values than model group B. In terms of MBC, there was no difference between model group A and the control group, and model group B had lower values than the control group and model group A.

Female urinary incontinence on TikTok and YouTube: is online video content sufficient?
ConclusionsOur findings emphasize the present lack of high-quality content available on TikTok and YouTube from both health care and nonhealth care experts. To address this lack of information, health care providers, especially urologists, should take an active role in creating video content.

The clinical utility of routine postoperative hemoglobin and creatinine after reconstructive surgery for apical  pelvic organ prolapse
ConclusionsOur results indicate that routine postoperative Hb and Cr testing for apical prolapse should be reserved for symptomatic patients as it has minimal clinical value in asymptomatic patients and contributes to increased overall health care cost.

Cause of non-specific low back pain in women: pelvic floor muscle weakness
ConclusionsDecreased PFM strength in women causes non-specific mechanical low back pain and disability independent of age, BMI, and the number and type of delivery. Decreased PFM strength is a predictor of disability. Disability and pain are also independent predictors of decreased quality of life. PFM measurement should be prioritized when evaluating women with NSLBP. PFM strength may be a determinant of LBP. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

A cost-effective model for training in Robot-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy
ConclusionThis model is easily constructed and in our view is cost-effective. We have demonstrated a new valuable education tool that can serve as a practical simulation model to teach the sacrocolpopexy procedure and to improve trainees' skills. A larger cohort study size is essential to demonstrate the learning curve among young trainees using this simulation model. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)

Anterior approach sacrospinous hysteropexy: native tissue compared with mesh-augmented repair for primary uterovaginal prolapse management
ConclusionsNinety-five percent of women achieved surgical success and the use of mesh augmentation did not confer added benefit in terms of efficacy or complications when compared with native tissue. Further long-term data are needed to continue our assessment of native-tissue anterior SSH. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)
