Objective: Early reports have suggested that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can present with significant urinary frequency and nocturia, and that these symptoms correlate with markers of inflammation in the urine. We evaluated surrogate markers of chronic urinary symptoms to determine if they were more frequent after COVID-19 infection.

Methods: Routinely collected data from the province of Ontario was used to conduct a matched, retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: The neurogenic urinary bladder has been known for at least 30 years now and the concepts behind it are continuously evolving, but there is actually not much work that has been done to accumulate solid clinical evidence in this field. We review the surgical and experimental techniques used in the management of this condition.

Material And Methods: TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL, WE PERFORMED INTERNET SEARCHES USING THE SAME SEARCH STRING: Urinary bladder, neurogenic.

Introduction: The neurogenic urinary bladder is defined as a dysfunctional bladder associated with a known neurological injury. We review the data from good quality clinical trials looking at drug therapy for the neurogenic bladder.

Materials And Methods: IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AS MANY PROSPECTIVE TRIALS AS POSSIBLE, WE PERFORMED INTERNET SEARCHES, USING THE SAME SEARCH STRING: Urinary Bladder, neurogenic (MESH).

Introduction: Reduction labioplasty for hypertrophic labia minora is often performed for aesthetic reasons by cosmetic vaginal surgeons.

Objectives: We describe a case in which a commonly used technique for reduction labioplasty was performed on a patient who had difficulty performing intermittent catheterization and report on the aesthetic and functional outcomes.
