Background And Objective: Urinary incontinence is a common complaint in pregnant women. The prevalence of urinary incontinence increases as the week of gestation progresses. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of urinary incontinence in pregnant women, types of urinary incontinence during pregnancy, and the prevalence of urinary incontinence by trimesters in Turkey.
Study Desing: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis study. The publications meeting the inclusion criteria were searched between the dates September 1-30, 2022. A search was done in the PubMed and ScienceDirect, MEDLINE, Ovid, EBSCO CINAHL Plus, and Cochrane Library databases. The methodological quality of the studies was examined with the checklist developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute.
Results: Twenty articles were included in this study. According to the study results, the estimated urinary incontinence prevalence in pregnant women was 35 % (95 % CI: 0.288-0.423 Z:-3.984, p = 0.000, I: 96.574), urinary incontinence was most frequently observed in the third trimester, and its estimated prevalence was 32 % (95 % CI:0.230-0.419 Z:-3.428, p = 0.001, I: 96.400). Considering types of urinary incontinence during pregnancy, the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence was found in 10 studies, and according to the combined results of these studies, the estimated prevalence of stress urinary incontinence during pregnancy was 29 % (95 % CI:0.223-0.365, Z:-5.077, p = 0.000, I: 94.678).
Conclusion: The present study revealed that pregnancy increased the probability of urinary incontinence. While it is determined to be mostly experienced in the third trimester, approximately-one-third of pregnant women experience stress urinary incontinence. PROSPERO Registration no: CRD42022338643.

Objectives: To assess long-term outcomes (up to 10 cycles) of repeated intradetrusor botulinum toxin (BoNT) utilisation in multiple sclerosis (MS) and idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB).
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective, international, multi-centre, observational cohort study of patients diagnosed with MS and neurogenic OAB and treated with intradetrusor BoNT between January 2005 and January 2020 (just prior to COVID-19 interruption). Dose, efficacy, duration of effect, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Overactive Bladder (ICIQ-OAB) and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence (ICIQ-UI) measures and complication rates were recorded.
Objectives: To determine the health utility values (HUVs) of overactive bladder (OAB), defined as urinary urgency, usually accompanied by urinary daytime or nocturnal frequency, with or without urinary incontinence, among adults aged ≥65 years and to assess the HUV decrements (disutilities) of OAB according to its severity.
Methods: This cross-sectional Internet-based study was conducted between 2 and 9 November 2023, with quota sampling with equal probability for each sex and age group (age 65-74 years and ≥75 years). OAB was defined as an urgency score of ≥2 points and a total score of ≥3 points based on the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of anterior hood-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with posterior-anterior reconstruction in a single-surgeon series by analysing oncological and functional continence outcomes.
Patients And Methods: We carried out a cohort comparison study of a prospectively collected single-surgeon series. The surgeon was an 'in-training' fellowship trained surgeon in their first 2 years of independent practice.
Objectives: To analyse and compare the functionality of extraluminal and intraluminal artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs), an in silico procedure has been defined and applied. Design and reliability assessments of the AUS are typically performed using a clinical approach, which does not provide data on mechanical stimulation of urethral tissues. Mechanical stimulation may determine tissue degeneration, such as urethral atrophy or erosion, the main causes of AUS failure.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of "en-bloc" Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) with trainee involvement in patients with prostates larger than 200 cc.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing HoLEP using the "en-bloc" technique for prostate sizes > 200 cc between July-2017 and December-2023 at an academic teaching hospital. Perioperative data was collected, including patient demographics, clinical parameters, operative details and functional outcomes.
