Objective: To develop and validate the content of a behavioral therapy protocol aiming at improving urinary incontinence in elderly women.
Method: This is a methodological study to develop and validate the content of a protocol to be applied with elderly women with urinary incontinence. It was conducted in two phases: 1) development of the protocol based on a literature review, NANDA-I and NIC; 2) content validation through evaluation of the protocol by experts in a focus group.
Results: Five experts participated in the validation of the protocol. The analysis occurred over six days in November 2023. The items evaluated were: 1) Education about urinary incontinence; 2) Assessment of behavior using the voiding diary; 3) Identification of urinary loss using the pad test; 4) Proprioception; 5) Assessment of pelvic floor muscle strength; 6) Perineal exercises. Data analysis followed three stages: pre-analysis, material exploration, and data treatment and interpretation, using thematic content analysis by frequency. Out of the six items, four received total agreement.
Final Considerations: The protocol is applicable by nurses. The content and presentation of the protocol are considered valid for the implementation in the treatment of urinary incontinence in elderly women.

To evaluate the effect of cystopexy on continence recovery after anterior-approach transperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RaRP). We retrospectively analyzed continence recovery of patients with prostate cancer receiving RaRP in a transperitoneal anterior-approach manner with or without cystopexy. Continence recovery is defined as complete intact continence without safety pad utility.

Introduction: Transient stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) is commonly linked to intraoperative injury of the external urethral sphincter (EUS). We assessed the reliability of the post-HoLEP endoscopic appearance of the membranous urethra mucosa (MUM) in predicting post-HoLEP continence.
Methods: Forty HoLEPs were prospectively recorded by an artificial intelligence video platform capable of segmenting clips by surgical steps.
Neurogenic bladder (NB) is a group of bladder and/or urethral dysfunctions caused by neurological lesions, commonly seen in patients with lumbar spine diseases, manifesting as urinary storage and voiding dysfunction, significantly affecting patients' quality of life. Degenerative changes or trauma to the lumbar spine can lead to narrowing of the dural sac, compressing the sacral nerve roots, cauda equina or blood vessels, causing bladder dysfunction and leading to NB. Diagnostic methods for NB include history taking, physical examination and noninvasive and invasive tests, such as urodynamic testing and cystoscopy.

Background: Exercise-induced urinary incontinence (UI) can hinder physical activity, particularly in women engaging in high-impact activities. This condition is linked to reduced passive support of the urethra and bladder. Intravaginal devices that support pelvic structures may offer a solution, but high-quality evidence is lacking.
