 To report the recommendations of an expert panel to reorganize Neurourology units and to prioritize examinations and both conservative and surgical treatments during the COVID-19 pandemic. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Non-systematic review of the literature and national experts' opinion summarizing the recommendations in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of neurourological patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. A modified nominal group technique was used due to extraordinary meeting and mobility restrictions during COVID-19 pandemic.

Position of Ibero-American Society of Neurourology and UroGynecology (SINUG) on the use of vaginal meshes in pelvic organ prolapse.

Aims: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a very prevalent condition with a great impact on women's quality of life. At present, there is great controversy regarding the use of mesh in POP surgery. To understand the current moment, it is advisable to make a brief summary of the historical evolution of mesh use for pelvic floor pathology.

Position of the Ibero-American Society of Neurourology and Urogynecology in relation to the use of synthetic suburethral meshes for the surgical treatment of female stress incontinence.

Aims: The aim of this paper is to stablish de position of the Ibero-American Society of Neurourology and Urogynecology (SINUG) in relation to the use of suburethral meshes for the surgical treatment of female stress incontinence.

Methods: Tension-free mid-urethral slings (MUS) have become the most popular procedure for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In July 2018, the British government announced a pause in the use of meshes for both pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) treatment without differentiating whether the meshes were used for treating UI or POP.

Treatment Response and Complications after Intradetrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA Injection in Male Patients with Idiopathic Overactive Bladder Syndrome.

Purpose: We sought to assess the treatment response, complications and treatment continuation after onabotulinumtoxinA injection in male patients.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of men with refractory idiopathic overactive bladder treated with intradetrusor injection of 100 IU onabotulinumtoxinA since 2007 in our department. Patients with previous radical prostatectomy were excluded from analysis.

Long-term follow-up after cystectomy for bladder pain syndrome: pain status, sexual function and quality of life.

Purpose: To assess the long-term complications, pain status, sexual function and quality of life after cystectomy for bladder pain syndrome (BPS).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed functional variables for 35 patients (34 women/1 man, 67 ± 9 years old) who underwent cystectomy due to BPS since 1993 in our department. Cystectomy was offered to patients with BPS refractory to conservative treatments.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair with Mesh: Mid-Term Efficacy and Complications.

Introduction: Our aim was to assess the efficacy and complications of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) correction with transvaginal mesh (TVM).

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively assessed patients who had undergone a repair of an apical (primary or recurrent) or recurrent POP using TVM in our department since 2007. Meshes used were Prolift®, Elevate®, and Surelift®.

A re-adjustable sling for female recurrent stress incontinence and intrinsic sphincteric deficiency: Long-term results in 205 patients using the Remeex sling system.

Aims: To evaluate the outcomes and complications at long-term follow-up after a Remeex re-adjustable sling for recurrent stress urinary incontinence (rSUI) and intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD) in women.

Methods: Two hundred thirty women with SUI were evaluated after undergoing a re-adjustable sling operation. Twenty-five patients were lost to follow-up, 205 were classified by Q-tip, urodynamic, and clinical criteria into ISD (109) and rSUI (96).

Aims: To assess the relationship between storage-predominant LUTS and healthcare resource consumption and cost among males in Spain.

Methods: In this non-interventional, cross-sectional study, urologists enrolled males with storage-predominant LUTS and recorded the consumption of healthcare resources (medical visits, diagnostic tests/monitoring, treatment, and hospitalizations) within the previous 6 months. The cost of healthcare resources was calculated from unit costs extracted from a Spanish eHealth database.

Overactive bladder patients, above 18 years old, of both genders, with an OAB-V8 score ≥8, and able to understand health questionnaires in Spanish were recruited.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of antimuscarinics in the treatment of patients with overactive bladder in Spain: a decision-tree model.

Background: Fesoterodine, a new once daily antimuscarinic, has proven to be an effective, safe, and well-tolerated treatment in patients with overactive bladder (OAB). To date, no analysis has evaluated the economic costs and benefits associated with fesoterodine, compared to antimuscarinics in Spain. The purpose of this analysis was to assess the economic value of OAB treatment with fesoterodine relative to extended release tolterodine and solifenacin, from the societal perspective.
