Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common symptom affecting almost one-third of adult women. UI can occur because of hypermobility or intrinsic sphincter deficiency of the urethra. Regardless its etiology, it is associated with poor quality of life and most of the incontinent women develop symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and social isolation over time. The synthetic midurethral sling (MUS) was first introduced in 1995 and quickly became the gold standard treatment for women with stress UI because of intrinsic sphincter deficiency and/or urethral hypermobility. This session addresses the indications, preoperative preparation, surgical steps, postoperative care, and complications related to synthetic MUSs. Owing to the exponential increase in the prevalence of mesh-related complications, we also developed a rational evidence-based algorithm that will help urologists to diagnose and manage this specific subset of patients.

Anorectal neuropathy causes anorectal dysfunction, yet it is poorly recognized. This stems from both a lack of understanding of the extrinsic and intrinsic innervation of the anorectum and tools for evaluation of neuronal function. Our objective was to provide an improved understanding of the neuronal networks of the anorectum and discuss its functional significance.

Introduction: Spina bifida is a condition that impacts the development of the neural tube leading to urological and gastrointestinal symptoms. Both systems are influenced together due to their shared innervation and embryological origin. Despite its impact on health and well-being there has been limited research on the relationship between manometry results and urodynamic tests, in this patient population.

Article Synopsis
- - Lower urinary tract dysfunction can arise after neurological disorders, impacting patients' quality of life; myasthenia gravis (MG) studies are rare and mostly consist of case reports detailing various urinary symptoms like incontinence and retention.
- - A case study is presented of a 68-year-old female with MG who experienced stress urinary incontinence; despite attempts at pelvic floor rehabilitation, no improvement was seen, leading to surgery consideration.
- - This report emphasizes the link between MG and lower urinary tract issues, highlighting the need for better awareness and tailored management strategies for patients suffering from these conditions.
