[Multidisciplinary meetings in pelvic floor disease in women: A national survey by the CUROPF among French urologists].

Introduction: Multidisciplinary team meetings (MTMs) in the field of pelvic floor diseases in women tend to generalize, as they are required as mandatory before mid-urethral sling implantation or sacrocolpopexy by recent decrees published by the French health authorities. However, access to these meetings is variable in the French territory. The goal of the present study was to describe the existence and the settings of these kinds of meetings in France.

Robot-assisted vesicovaginal fistula repair: comparison of the extravesical and transvesical techniques.

Introduction And Objectives: Almost two decades after the description of robotic vesicovaginal fistula repair (R-VVF), the literature remains limited. The aims of this study are to report the outcomes of R-VVF and to compare the transvesical versus extravesical techniques.

Methods: We performed an observational, retrospective, multicenter study, including all patients who underwent R-VVF from March 2017 to September 2021 at four academic institutions.

Robot assisted radical prostatectomy in fit older patients compared to a standard population: Clinical characteristics, surgical, oncological and functional outcomes.

Introduction: To compare robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in well-selected older patients with clinically localized prostate cancer, compared to a younger population. Primary endpoint was perioperative outcomes comparison and secondary endpoint were oncological and functional outcomes comparison to a younger population.

Methods: Single tertiary center cohort of consecutive patients treated with RARP (2017-2020) with retrospective analysis.

[Intravesical instillations for inflammatory and sensory chronic bladder diseases: Literature review and guide to clinical practice].

Introduction: Inflammatory and sensory chronic bladder diseases have a significant impact on quality of life. These pathologies share alteration of the layer between urine and urothelium, making the use of topical agents appropriate.

Objectives: Review the efficacy and tolerance of intravesical treatments for these pathologies.

2021 opinion from the CUROPF on THE efficacy and safety of mid-urethral slings used in women WITH urinary stress incontinence.

To determine the usefulness of mid-urethral slings (MUS) in the surgical management of women presenting with urinary stress incontinence (USI) METHOD: A consensus committee of multidisciplinary experts (CUROPF) was convened and focused on PICO questions concerning the efficacy and safety of MUS surgery compared to other procedures and concerning which approach (retropubic (RP) vs transobturator (TO)) should be proposed as a first-line MUS surgery for specific subpopulations (obese; intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD); elderly) RESULTS: As compared to other procedures (urethral bulking agents, traditional slings and open colposuspension), the MUS procedure should be proposed as the first-line surgical therapy (strong agreement). MUS surgery can be associated with complications and proper pre-operative informed consent is mandatory (strong agreement). Mini-slings (SIS/SIMS) should only be proposed in clinical trials (strong agreement).
