Comparative anatomy of the ovine and human pelvis for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy: evaluating the effectiveness of the ovine model.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) is a functional reconstructive surgery used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in middle-aged women. Although LSC is widely used, its implementation is hindered by perceived technical difficulties and surgical learning curves. Surgeons require adequate experience with LSC prior to performing the procedure on patients to improve their quality of life.

Female LUTS adaptations to COVID era: Lessons learned from the ICS TURNOVER (Transition of fUnctional uRology to New COVID ERa).

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected the Female and Functional Urology (FFU) practice, leading to massive waiting lists, while patients' quality of life remains severely impaired. The aim of the present study is to develop consensual recommendations to guide clinicians on the management of FFU patients. The present paper focuses on female LUTS.

Dropped abdominal pressure at void in women.

Introduction And Hypothesis: "Dropped p at void" occurs when p decreases below the previous resting pressure during voiding time. We sought clinical factors associated with this phenomenon and evaluated whether its correction modifies the urodynamic diagnosis.

Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study of non-neurological consecutive symptomatic women.

Development of a questionnaire set to evaluate adaptations to COVID era: The ICS TURNOVER project (Transition of fUnctional uRology to New COVID ERa).

Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a massive cutdown in outpatient urological investigations, procedures, and interventions. Female and functional urology (FFU) has been probably the most affected subspecialty in urology. Several scientific societies have published guidelines to manage this new situation, providing general recommendations.
