Urodynamics are currently widely used in most of urogynecology services, mainly as a diagnostic tool routinely preoperatively or for complicated cases. The urodynamic parameters, mainly Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP) and maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP), are increasingly researched for the promising value in predicting the outcome of urinary incontinence surgery. Despite the increasing evidence, their predictive role for mid-urethral sling surgery outcome is still unclear.

- Krukenberg-type tumors (KT) are rare ovarian metastases often mistaken for primary ovarian cancer, featuring uncertain causes and poorer prognosis.
- The study analyzed 9 cases averaging 52 years in age, with most originating from gastric or colonic sources; diagnoses varied between synchronous and metachronous discoveries.
- Bilateral solid or mixed tumors commonly showed specific microscopic features, but the overall survival rates were modest, leading to the conclusion that surgery's effectiveness is limited and highlighting the need for careful diagnosis, especially in younger women.
