    Abstract Introduction: It is still uncertain whether detrusor underactivity (DUA) influences the outcomes of women undergoing surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Even less evidence is available about women with complicated stress urinary incontinence (C-SUI). The aim of the study was to assess outcomes of middle urethral sling (MUS) placement according to the type of SUI, and the impact of DUA on uncomplicated SUI (U-SUI) and C-SUI functional and surgical results.
    Material and methods: The study was conducted among patients undergoing MUS. The population was divided into 4 groups: 1: C-SUI with DUA; 2: C-SUI without DUA; 3: U-SUI with DUA; and 4: U-SUI without DUA. Women were qualified for the DUA group if they met one of the Jeong, Abarbanel and Marcus, BVE, and PIP1 Griffiths criteria. Post-operative functional outcomes and differences in POUR rate, de novo overactive bladder syndrome (OAB), and SUI recurrence were examined.
    Results: 142 women took part in the study, of whom 97 completed the 2-year follow-up. DUA was found in 54.6% (53/97) of patients. C-SUI was prevalent also in the no-DUA group (59.1%). Post-operative ICIQ-FLUTS improved more in the no-DUA patients compared to the DUA women. Post-operative Qmax was statistically significant higher the in no-DUA than in the DUA population. After surgery, neither the PVR nor the PVR ratio differed in the DUA and the no-DUA patients. C-SUI and U-SUI patients showed a POUR rate of 15.6%-12.1%, de novo OAB 12.5%-3%, tape incision 3.1%-3%, and SUI recurrence 4.6%-3%, respectively.
    Conclusions: The impact of pre-operative DUA on the outcomes of patients undergoing MUS was negligible, even in C-SUI cases. DUA women with SUI, even if complicated, should not be excluded from this kind of surgery.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the role of bladder emptying on outcomes of males undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
    Materials and methods: This prospective study involved candidates for TURP (January 2017-2018) with a follow-up of 3 years. Preoperative and follow-up evaluation comprised: UF, simple PVR (S-PVR), PVR-Ratio (PVR-R) as the ratio of PVR to bladder volume (BV: voided volume (VV) + PVR), Bladder voiding efficiency (BE) as the ratio between VV and BV -(voided volume/total bladder capacity) × 100 - and the IPSS. Patients were stratified for S-PVR, PVR-R, and BVE.
    Results: Patients recruited were 100 (mean ± SD age: 68.8 ± 8.7 years). No patient had severe complications, re-admission, nor needed blood transfusion. At baseline, 38% of the patients showed S-PVR ≤ 50 mL, 62% a S-PVR ≤ 100 mL, and 25% a S-PVR >150 mL. In both pre- and postoperative evaluation there were no significant differences in Qmax and IPSS score among the groups. In each group we found a significant improvement in Qmax, IPSS score, and S-PVR, PVR-R and BVE after TURP (except for PVR in group with lowest preoperative S-PVR). Analysing a preoperative S-PVR threshold >100 mL, PVR-R significantly increased, and BVE significantly decreased after TURP. Conversely, when preoperative S-PVR was >100 mL, PVR-R, and BVE relevantly but non significantly improved after surgery.
    Conclusion: Bladder emptying is only partially related to TURP outcomes and other preperative parameters. Patients with baseline S-PVR lower than 100 mL had the chance of greater recovery of bladder emptying after TURP.

    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) is the gold standard for the treatment of apical prolapse, although dissection of the promontory may be challenging. Laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) with mesh is an alternative technique for apical repair with similar anatomical and functional outcomes, according to recent studies. The purpose of this study was to compare these operative techniques.
    Methods: Women with uterine Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) stage 2 were enrolled in this prospective study and were randomly allocated to the LLS or LSC group. At the 12-month follow-up, primary measures included both anatomical and functional outcomes. Perioperative parameters and complications were recorded.
    Results: A total of 93 women were randomized, 48 in the LLS group and 45 in the LSC group, with 2 women lost to follow-up in both groups. LSC anatomic success rates were 81.82% for the apical compartment and 95.22% for the anterior compartment. LLS anatomic success rates for the apical and anterior compartments were 90% and 92.30%, respectively. The mean operative time for LLS was 160.3 min, while for LSC it was 168.3 min. The mean blood loss was 100 mL in both procedures. Conversion to laparotomy was necessary in three women. Mesh erosion was not observed in any of the cases. In terms of the complication, Clavien-Dindo grade 1 was observed in two patients in the LLS group and a complication rated grade 3b was observed in one patient in LSC group.
    Conclusions: LLS is a good alternative to LSC, with promising anatomical and quality-of-life results.

    Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the detrusor underactivity (DUA) prevalence of females with symptomatic anterior pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and to evaluate the relationship between DUA and POP stage.
    Material and methods: This was a prospective study recruiting women with symptomatic anterior POP. Patients with symptomatic stage 2-4 POP quantification system (POP-Q) who underwent urodynamics (UD) between January 2018 and April 2021 were included.
    Results: Data on 330 women (mean age 63.7 ±18.4 years old) with anterior vaginal wall defect were enrolled. Concomitant apical defect (uterine/vaginal vault) requiring surgical correction was diagnosed in 38 women (11.5%). DUA was found in 166 females (50.3%). In DUA women, POP-Q stage 2 was found in 45.2%, stage 3 in 50.9% and stage 4 in 76.5%. Only stage POP-Q stage 4 showed a statistically significant difference between DUA and non-DUA females (p 0.006).
    Conclusions: In women with symptomatic POP, regardless of the POP-Q stage, the chance of DUA occurrence was high. DUA was diagnosed in approximately half of the women undergoing UD for symptomatic POP, and it was three-fold higher in cases of POP-Q stage 4. Due to the high incidence of DUA in POP-Q 4 stage, it may be advantageous to identify and treat prolapse before they progress to stage 4.

    Abstract Introduction: To evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and bowel disorders in a population of young subjects with autism spectrum disorder (ADS) by a national survey and to assess the relationship between the occurrence, frequency, and type of LUTS and the severity of behavioral and neuropsychiatric characteristics.
    Materials and methods: A survey on LUTS and bowel disorders in the ASD population was sent by mail and social media through the main Italian Associations of ASD between February and September 2022. The correlation between LUTS and ASD severity was also assessed.
    Results: The survey was completed by 502 subjects with a mean age of 16.6 years ± 10 years: male participants were 413 (mean age: 16.5 years ± 9.8 years), while female participants 89 (mean age: 17.2 years ± 10.9 years). ADS severity was found low in 29.9%, moderate in 27.1%, and severe in 43%. LUTS were reported by 77.1%, storage symptoms in 51.4%, and voiding symptoms in 60.6%. Urinary incontinence was reported by 12.5%. Enuresis was reported by 14.3% (72/502) of the respondents: primary enuresis in 70.8% (51/72), secondary in the remaining. Pads were used by 40 subjects with a median of 2.9 pads/day (range, 0-8). A toilet training program was performed by 61 of the respondents, with satisfactory results in 40/61 (65.6%). A significant correlation was found between greater ASD severity and higher LUTS rates. The mean VAS score on the impact of LUTS on family relationships was 2 ± 2.9. Regular bowel function was reported by 57.4% (288/502) of the respondents, while increased daily defecations were present in 11.2% (56/502), constipation in 31.5% (158/502), and fecal incontinence in 7.9% (40/502).
    Conclusion: This survey demonstrated that LUTS are very common in the young ASD population and that the prevalence of urinary symptoms is related to higher severity of the ASD condition. Bowel disorders are often associated with urinary symptoms and dysfunctions. Urologists should be aware of the frequent occurrence of urological disorders and symptoms in individuals with ASD and should be involved in their clinical management in a multidisciplinary team that cares for these people.

    Abstract Aims: Resilience represents a fundamental element in the experience of pain, as it allows adaptation to suffering and increases psychological social well-being and quality of life (QoL). We investigated resilience in patients affected by urologic chronic pelvic pain (UCPP) and the relationships with pain severity and distribution, catastrophizing and psychological distress.
    Methods: Forty-eight consecutive UCPP patients were classified on a pain body map as being affected by pelvic pain only or widespread pain (WP), and underwent the evaluation of resilience with the 14-item Resilience Scale (RS-14), with higher scores indicating high resilience levels; scores < 56 denote very poor resilience. Pelvic and nonpelvic pain intensity and the bother of urinary symptoms on QoL were measured by means of Pain Numerical Rating Scale (PNRS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) investigated catastrophizing and psychological conditions.
    Results: Overall, RS-14 mean ± SD total score was 50.2 ± 12.5 in patients with pelvic pain only and 40.2 ± 10.2 in those with WP. Significant relationships were observed between low resilience levels and high scores of pelvic and nonpelvic PNRS, VAS, pain catastrophizing scale and depression and anxiety, stress scale (for all: p < 0.001). Significantly lower RS-14 scores were detected in females and in patients with WP.
    Conclusions: A very poor resilience has been identified in UCPP patients, particularly in those with greater catastrophizing and mood alterations. WP and female gender were mostly affected. In UCPP patients, low resilience appears as a crucial factor in pain experience.

    Abstract Background: Determination of the learning curve of new techniques is essential to improve safety and efficiency. Limited information is available regarding learning curves of different techniques in laparoscopic pelvic floor surgery.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the learning curve of two operative techniques, laparoscopic lateral suspension (LLS) and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC).
    Material and methods: We conducted a prospective study to assess the learning curve of LLS and LSC by implementing a structured urogynecologic surgical training program with the use of pelvic trainers for our urogynecology fellow. The fellow was an experienced urogynecologic surgeon, but was laparoscopic suturing and dissection naive at the beginning of the study. She was required to assist in 20 laparoscopic urogynecologic surgeries and undertake laparoscopic suturing and knot tying training with mesh positioning on a laparoscopic trainer for 4 h/week during the trial period. After the completion of this structured training program, the fellow performed LLS and LSC under the supervision of an experienced subspecialist as the primary surgeon. Linear regression analysis was used to compare the data of LLS and LSC learning curves. Subjective pre- and post-operative evaluation of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and pelvic floor disorders was undertaken preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively using the PFDI-20-Quality of Life validated questionnaire. Follow-up was scheduled 12 months after the surgery and performed by a skilled urogynecologist. Objective cure was defined as Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Qualification (POP-Q) stage <II in any compartment.<br />Results: The mean operative times of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and lateral suspension were 168.26 and 160.33 min, respectively. According to linear regression analysis after 43 procedures, the learning curve for laparoscopic lateral suspension was shorter than for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (OPTime 134.69 min). In both groups, there was a significant reduction in bothersome POP symptoms (
    Conclusion: Laparoscopic lateral suspension could be an alternative to laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy in the treatment of POP with its good objective and subjective outcomes. Lateral suspension has a shorter learning curve, and it is technically less demanding than LSC. Procedure-dedicated training can accelerate the move from a

    Abstract Objectives: Aim of the study was to translate the International Female Coital Incontinence Questionnaire (IFCI-Q) into Arabic (Egyptian) and validate it into among Egyptian population complaining of coital urinary incontinence (CI).
    Methods: Original questionnaire has been translated and back-translated by an expert panel, to produce the Arabic version. A pilot study was performed to make sure the questionnaire was understandable. Sixty patients included in the study were divided into two groups: Group A comprised patients with CI, and Group B comprised females who attended the urology clinic for other complaints, without CI. Reliability of the Arabic IFCI-Q was evaluated for internal consistency using Cronbach alpha coefficient. Test-retest reliability was determined using the Weighted Cohen's k-test. Discrimination validity was evaluated by comparing scores of patients with those of healthy females not complaining of CI using Mann-Whitney test.
    Results: 83.3% of women of both groups (mean age: 43.1 ± 10.6 yrs [Group A], 38.9 ± 8 [Group B] yrs) reported OAB symptoms, 73.3% had stress urinary incontinence and 46.7% reported mixed urinary incontinence. Regarding Group A, 10 patients had CI during penetration, 12 during orgasm and 8 had both forms of CI. The comparison of the responses between Group A and Group B demonstrated a statistically difference (
    Conclusions: The Arabic version will allow utilizing this tool in a large population of Arabic-speaking countries, with different ethnic and demographic backgrounds.
