Importance: Conservative therapy is effective for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) but may be limited by accessibility to care.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a digital conversational agent (CeCe) for the treatment of OAB.

Importance: It is unknown whether the pessary management type influences the need for surgery.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence with the type of pessary management (self-management or office management).

Approach to Ureterovaginal Fistula: Examining 13 Years of Experience.
Female Pelvic Med Reconstr Surg
June 2019
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the management and outcomes of ureterovaginal fistulas over a 13-year period, assessing demographic data, diagnostic processes, and treatment effectiveness.
- Out of 19 cases identified, most fistulas occurred post-hysterectomy, with a primary focus on conservative treatments like ureteral stenting and reimplantation, achieving an 83% success rate in conservative management.
- The findings suggest that ureteral stenting is effective for select patients, while more complex cases might require ureteral reimplantation as the preferred treatment option.
