Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Female pelvic floor disorders (PFDs), including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and voiding dysfunction, are highly prevalent conditions that significantly affect quality of life and functional independence across the lifespan. Their management poses substantial clinical challenges, often requiring tailored, multidisciplinary approaches and long-term care strategies.
This Special Issue aims to provide a clinically relevant overview of advances in diagnosis and treatment within the field. We invite contributions focusing on clinical studies, surgical innovations, conservative treatments, and interdisciplinary collaboration in urology, urogynecology, and pelvic health.
We welcome original research and reviews that address surgical techniques, treatment outcomes, diagnostic pathways, patient engagement, and integrated models of care.
We seek to shape the future of pelvic health through evidence-based clinical practice.
Dr. Luis López Fando
