Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urinary incontinence remains a prevalent and impactful condition across all age groups, significantly affecting quality of life and posing complex challenges in both diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, remarkable advances have emerged in our understanding of its pathophysiology, as well as in diagnostic technologies, conservative therapies, and surgical innovations.
From novel pharmacological agents and regenerative therapies to sophisticated urodynamic tools and minimally invasive surgical techniques, the field is rapidly evolving. Additionally, digital health solutions, such as wearable sensors and app-based pelvic floor training, are reshaping patient-centered care and long-term management strategies.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest clinical research in relation to urinary incontinence. We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and clinical studies focusing on recent progress in diagnosis, treatment innovations, patient outcomes, and multidisciplinary approaches to care.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to advancing knowledge and practice in this important area of urology and pelvic health.
Dr. Michael Samarinas
Guest Editor
