RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To propose guidelines for the management of complications of prosthetic mid-urethral tape surgery for stress urinary incontinence in women. METHODS: These guidelines are based on an exhaustive literature review on retropubic and trans-obturator mid-urethral tape complications. The expert panel rated the level of evidence of each study, summarized literature for the treatment of each complication, and proposed guidelines. RESULTS: Management of these complications is complex and the first treatment is crucial to offer the best functional result to the patient. We propose a standardized approach and guidelines for the management of complications to help physicians to early identify a surgical complication, offer adequate treatment for each complication and provide clear and appropriate information to patients. We detailed management of intraoperative complications as follows: bladder, urethral, vaginal, visceral, and vascular injury; short-term post-operative complications are the following: bleeding/hematoma, voiding dysfunction, pain, infection; and long-term post-operative complications are the following: chronic voiding dysfunction, de novo overactive bladder syndrome, chronic pain, dyspareunia, vaginal, bladder, and urethral tape erosion. CONCLUSION: These guidelines may help physicians to improve management of prosthetic mid-urethral sling complications that may occur following stress urinary incontinence surgery.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence after High Intensity Focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a poorly documented issue. To our knowledge, no study has evaluated the outcomes of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) after HIFU. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of AUS for post-HIFU urinary incontinence. METHODS: The charts of all male patients who underwent an AUS implantation between 2004 and 2020 in 13 centers were reviewed retrospectively. Only men with a history of HIFU were included. The primary endpoint was social continence at 3 months defined as wearing 0 to 1 pad per day. RESULTS: Out of 1318 procedures, nine men were implanted with an AUS after HIFU including four men with an history of pelvic irradiation: 3 pelvic radiation therapy and 1 prostatic brachytherapy. The patients were divided into two groups, 5 in the HIFU group without a history of pelvic irradiation, 4 patients in the HIRX group with a history of pelvic irradiation. The median age was 74 years (IQR 71-76). There was no perioperative complication. The median follow-up was 47.5 (IQR 25-85.5) months. Social continence at 3 months was 75% in the total cohort: 80% in the HIFU group and 67% in the HIRX group. CONCLUSION: AUS implantation may provide satisfactory long-term functional outcomes in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence resulting from HIFU. Larger series are needed to confirm these findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory and sensory chronic bladder diseases have a significant impact on quality of life. These pathologies share alteration of the layer between urine and urothelium, making the use of topical agents appropriate. OBJECTIVES: Review the efficacy and tolerance of intravesical treatments for these pathologies. Give practical guidelines for the use of agents currently available in France. METHOD: A narrative review was performed in March 2021 using PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar and the international guidelines. Pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies were interviewed. RESULTS: Although numerous molecules were tested over the last 5 decades, only dimethylsulfoxyde and glycosaminoglycans are available in France today. Results are promising: response rates are up to 95% and 84% respectively in bladder pain syndrome. In urinary tract infections, glycosaminoglycans could decrease annual number of cystitis by 2.56 (95% confidence interval (CI) -3.86, -1.26; P<0.001) and increase the time to first cystitis recurrence by 130 days (95% CI: 5.84 - 254.26; P=0.04). In radiation cystitis, results could be comparable to hyperbaric oxygen regarding pain and frequency of voiding (-1.31±1.3 visual analogic scale et -1.5±1.4 voiding per day, respectively, at 12 months, P<0.01). However, literature has a low level of evidence. CONCLUSION: Chronic bladder diseases have limited treatment options. Intravesical agents are a good alternative, although their cost is significant and their outcome uncertain.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the usefulness of mid-urethral slings (MUS) in the surgical management of women presenting with urinary stress incontinence (USI) METHOD: A consensus committee of multidisciplinary experts (CUROPF) was convened and focused on PICO questions concerning the efficacy and safety of MUS surgery compared to other procedures and concerning which approach (retropubic (RP) vs transobturator (TO)) should be proposed as a first-line MUS surgery for specific subpopulations (obese; intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD); elderly) RESULTS: As compared to other procedures (urethral bulking agents, traditional slings and open colposuspension), the MUS procedure should be proposed as the first-line surgical therapy (strong agreement). MUS surgery can be associated with complications and proper pre-operative informed consent is mandatory (strong agreement). Mini-slings (SIS/SIMS) should only be proposed in clinical trials (strong agreement). Both RP and TO approaches may be proposed for the insertion of MUS (strong agreement). However, if the woman is willing to accept a moderate increase in per-operative risk, the RP approach should be preferred (strong agreement) since it is associated with higher very long-term cure rates and as it is possible to completely remove the sling surgically if a severe complication occurs. The RP approach should be used for the insertion of MUS in a woman presenting with ISD (strong agreement). Either the RP or TO approach should be used for the insertion of MUS in an obese woman presenting with USI (strong agreement). In very obese women (BMI ≥35-40kg/m2), weight loss should be preferred prior to MUS surgery and bariatric surgery should be discussed (strong agreement) CONCLUSION: The current Opinion provides an appropriate strategy for both the selection of patients and the best therapeutic approach in women presenting with USI.

INTRODUCTION: Placement of a mid-urethral sling is the gold standard in the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence in women in France. The cure rate of this material is no longer to be demonstrated, but the per- and post-operative complications are currently the subject of a growing controversy not only in Europe but also across the Channel and across the Atlantic, having led to the modification of operative indications. In France, recommendations are also evolving with a stricter framework for indications for surgery by multidisciplinary consultation meeting and an obligation for postoperative follow-up in the short and long term. OBJECTIVES: In this context, CUROPF realized a review of the literature bringing together the available scientific evidence concerning the occurrence of per- and post-operative complications relating to the installation of mid urethral sling. The bibliographic search was carried out using the Medline database and 123 articles were selected. RESULTS: Analysis of the data highlights various complications, depending on the implanted material, the patient and the indication for surgery. The retro-pubic mid urethral sling provides more bladder erosion during surgery (up to 14%), more suprapubic pain (up to 4%) and more acute urinary retention (up to 19,7%) and postoperative dysuria (up to 26%). The trans obturator mid-urethral sling is responsible for more vaginal erosion during the operation (up to 10,9%), more lower limb pain of neurological origin (up to 26,7%). The risk of developing over active bladder is similar in both procedures (up to 33%). But these risks of complications must be balanced by the strong impact of urinary incontinence surgery on the overall quality of life of these women. CONCLUSION: Thus, surgical failure and long term complications exist but should not limit the surgical management of stress urinary incontinence with mid urethral tape. Women should be treated with individualized decision-making process and long-term follow -up is necessary.

BACKGROUND: This survey assessed how much of a taboo surrounds urge or mixed urinary incontinence (UI), through questions to affected patients and healthcare professionals using online questionnaires, with the objective to contrast the patients' perceptions with that of the doctors. METHODS: This quantitative study was preceded by a qualitative phase carried out with general practitioners, specialists, and UI patients. Following these phases, questionnaires were made available on the internet. They covered questions pertaining to perceptions of UI, degree of embarrassment and its consequences, patient-doctor relationship, and treatments. RESULTS: Overall, 310 UI patients of male or female gender participated in the study, as did 101 general practitioners, 50 urologists, and 30 gynecologists. The analysis revealed that 60% of patients felt embarrassment about UI, the condition representing for them a taboo topic similar to cancer. This taboo was shown to be seen further enhanced by doctors. UI was associated with a loss of self-esteem (51%) and restriction to daily life (44%). The patients' answers revealed that UI was only brought up by doctors in 6% of cases, whereas the patient was the first to bring it up in 55%, primarily with their general practitioner (80%). Thus, in 4 out of 10 cases, the issue was not addressed; 49% of patients stated they did not discuss their condition with their partner and 33% did not discuss it with anybody. CONCLUSION: UI is still a major taboo and we have a long way to go to change attitudes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.

INTRODUCTION: The French Department of Health published on October 23, 2020 a decree governing acts associated with mid-urethral sling (MUS) operations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in practice following this new legislation. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out among French urologists and gynecologists using an online survey to collect changes in practices since the publication of the decree. RESULTS: From January to February 2021, 436 surgeons participated in the survey. Among these surgeons, 87% were aware of the new legislation and 56% of them considered the decree as useless. The order resulted in an increase in working time in 81% of cases. Among these surgeons, 66% of the surgeons worked in tertiary referral centers for the management of incontinence, of which 55% had a multidisciplinary meeting in urogynecology. Among the surgeons, 31% considered this meeting to be useful but 80% considered that it did not lead to any change in surgical indications, even though 33% of complications of BSU were discussed there. In conclusion, 61% of surgeons felt more reluctant to schedule a BSU placement with this new legislation. CONCLUSION: The majority of questioned surgeons considered the decree as useless. It generated few changes in practices which already respected the law on information, consultation, consent, experience and training. Most urologists and gynecologists are more reluctant to offer MUS after this new legislation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.

INTRODUCTION: The main objective of this study was to validate a new questionnaire evaluating sexual health, in a population of sexually active women or not, who have surgery for stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse with or without mesh reinforcement. MATERIAL AND METHODS: After the development of a first version of the questionnaire by members from the main French societies involved in the study of women's sexuality, a linguistic validation of the content of the questionnaire was carried out through semi-structured interviews. Then, a psychometric validation was carried out in a prospective multicenter cohort study. The questionnaire was evaluated in terms of acceptability, quality, dimensionality, internal consistency, temporal stability, sensitivity to changes and construction validity. RESULTS: Linguistic validation was carried out in 25 patients. Psychometric validation was carried out in 297 women (291 with available data) operated on for urinary incontinence by midurethral sling (n=79) or for pelvic organ prolapse by the vaginal route with mesh (n=105), without mesh (n=22) or by laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (n=85) between January 18, 2013 and January 18, 2016. Within the 288/291 women who had filed the question No. 1 allowing to know their sexual "status", 159 (55%) women were sexually active and 129 (45%) women were not sexually active before surgery. Within the 288 women, 165 had completed the questionnaire preoperatively and at 12 months and 111 had completed the questionnaire at 12 months and 12 months+1 week. The questionnaire was well accepted by the women and of good quality. All the questions were kept, but a change in the order and numbering of the questions had to be made. Two clinically relevant dimensions were identified in this analysis: a "sexual health" dimension comprising 5 questions and a "discomfort and pain" dimension comprising 3 questions. The overall questionnaire and both dimensions had good reliability and moderate to excellent temporal stability. A statistically significant association was demonstrated between question 15 and the improvement reported by PGI-I and the anatomical success rate on POP-Q classification. A strong correlation was found between the "sexual health" score and the total FSFI score. CONCLUSION: The Pelvi-Perineal Surgery Sexuality Questionnaire (PPSSQ) is a 13-question self-questionnaire validated in a population of sexually active women or not, operated on for stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse by laparoscopy or vaginal surgery, with or without mesh.

INTRODUCTION: Vaginal LASER therapy is increasingly used in the field of urogynecology, but several points remain unclear. Our goal was to produce a systematic review of available evidence and provide a critical appraisal of available data. METHODS: A systematic review until march 2020 was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane and Embase databases. All studies about vaginal LASER use in the field of urogynecology were included. RESULTS: Forty studies have been included (8 for genitourinary syndrome of menopause, 19 for stress urinary incontinence, 3 for overactive bladder, 7 for urogenital prolapse, 3 for other indications). Data were heterogeneous, and level of evidence was weak or very weak. Few studies were comparative, and only 3 were randomized). Mild improvement of symptoms and quality of life and limited satisfaction were seen for genitourinary syndrome, stress urinary incontinence, overactive bladder and prolapse. Few adverse events were reported. However, major methodological biases were noted regarding efficacy and safety evaluation. No long-term results were available. CONCLUSIONS: While Vaginal LASER therapy seem to provide encouraging results, the level of evidence supporting its use was weak, especially regarding long-term outcomes. Studies of better quality are warranted before any recommendation can be made. Current use should be limited to clinical research.

INTRODUCTION: Active surveillance (AS) of sporadic renal angiomyolipomas (AML) is under-utilised because of an old dogma fearing a life-threatening retroperitoneal hemorrhage when tumour size exceeds 4cm. The objective of this study was to report the outcome of AS in patients with sporadic AML greater than 4cm. METHODS: The results of AS in 35 patients managed for sporadic renal AML greater than 4cm were analysed. During AS, tumour growth, occurrence of new symptoms and/or complications, discontinuation of AS protocol, reason for discontinuation as well as subsequent treatment options were reported. RESULTS: Within a median follow-up of 36 months, 16 (46 %) patients discontinued AS at the end of the study period (mean follow-up 55±66, median 36 months). Patients who discontinued AS were more symptomatic at diagnosis but had similar age, mean tumour size and sex ratio. Active treatment-free survival was 66 % at 5 years. Retroperitoneal hemorrhage was reported in 3 (8.5 %) patients. None of these bleedings required transfusion or monitoring in an intensive care unit. Other reasons for discontinuation were pain (37 %), patient preference (19), changes in the radiological appearance of the tumour (19 %), and hematuria (6 %). CONCLUSION: This study showed that AS in AML bearing patients was feasible even in the setting of tumours larger than 4cm. More than 50% of the patients were still on AS at 5 years. Discontinuation of AS was not related to bleeding complications in most cases. LEVEL OF PROOF: 3.

INTRODUCTION: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in France, all non-emergency surgical activity has been cancelled since March 12, 2020. In order to anticipate the reinstatement of delayed interventions, surgical activity reduction analysis is essential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reduction of urological surgery in adult during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to 2019. MATERIAL: The data regarding urological procedures realized in the 8 academic urological departments of Parisians centres (AP-HP) were compared over two similar periods (14-29 March 2019 and 12-27 March 2020) using the centralized surgical planning software shared by these centres. Procedure title, type of surgery and outpatient ratio were collected. The interventions were sorted into 16 major families of urological interventions. RESULTS: Overall, a 55% decrease was observed concerning urological procedures over the same period between 2019 and 2020 (995 and 444 procedures respectively). Oncology activity and emergencies decreased by 31% and 44%. The number of kidney transplantations decreased from 39 to 3 (-92%). Functional, andrological and genital surgical procedures were the most impacted among the non-oncological procedures (-85%, -81% and -71%, respectively). Approximatively, 1033 hours of surgery have been delayed during this 16-day period. CONCLUSION: Lockdown and postponement of non-urgent scheduled urological procedures decisions has led to a drastic decrease in surgical activity in AP-HP. Isolated kidney transplantation has been stopped (national statement). Urologists must anticipate for lockdown exit in order to catch-up delayed surgeries. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.

INTRODUCTION: There is increasing interest in noninvasive treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), including a vaginal laser procedure. In view of a lack of data on this technique, we conducted a non-systematic review of the literature. METHODS: We reviewed studies concerning the laser treatment of SUI from PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science. Study design, outcome measure, number of participants, procedural complications and results were analyzed. RESULTS: The use of laser treatment of female SUI has been described in 7 prospective, single-center and non-comparative (no control group) studies, all of which used an erbium YAG or a CO2 laser in thermal non-ablative treatment. Primary outcome was ICIQ-UI-SF score in six studies, and pad tests in one study. Follow-up ranged from 5 to 36months. Improvement rates ranged from 62% to 78%. No major adverse events were noted. Minor side effects included sensation of warmth, increased vaginal discharge and transient urge urinary incontinence. CONCLUSION: The efficacy of vaginal laser treatment of SUI has not been assessed in comparative studies. More rigorous and adequately powered trials are required to assess the relative benefits and adverse event profile of laser treatment of SUI, as compared with other minimally invasive procedures.

OBJECTIVE: Develop guidelines for surgery for primary pelvic organ prolapse (POP). METHODS: Literature review, establishment of levels of evidence, external review, and grading of recommendations by 5 French academic societies: Association Française d'Urologie, Collège National des Gynécologues et Obstétriciens Français, Société Interdisciplinaire d'Urodynamique et de Pelvi-Périnéologie, Société Nationale Française de Colo-proctologie, and Société de Chirurgie Gynécologique et Pelvienne. RESULTS: It is useful to evaluate symptoms, their impact, women's expectations, and to describe the prolapse prior to surgery (grade C). In the absence of any spontaneous or occult urinary sign, there is no reason to perform urodynamics (grade C). When a sacrocolpopexy is indicated, laparoscopy is recommended (grade B). A bowel preparation before vaginal (grade B) or abdominal surgery (grade C) is not recommended. There is no argument to systematically use a rectovaginal mesh to prevent rectocele (grade C). The use of a vesicovaginal mesh by vaginal route should be discussed taking into account an uncertain long-term risk-benefit ratio (grade B). Levator myorrhaphy is not recommended as a first-line rectocele treatment (grade C). There is no indication for a vaginal mesh as a first-line rectocele treatment (grade C). There is no reason to systematically perform a hysterectomy during prolapse repair (grade C). It is possible to not treat stress incontinence at the time of prolapse repair, if the woman is advised of the possibility of a 2-step surgical treatment (grade C).

OBJECTIVE: To provide clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) based on the best evidence available (level of evidence (LE)), concerning colpocleisis as a surgical treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS: This article concern a systematically review of the literature concerning colpocleisis (obliterative surgery). RESULTS: At short term follow-up, colpocleisis is associated with an anatomical success rate of 98 % (LE3) and a subjective success rate of 93% (LE3). A decrease in genital, urinary and anorectal symptoms and an enhancement of quality of life are observed in most women following colpocleisis (LE4). At mid-term (1 to 3 years) follow-up, patients' satisfaction ("satisfied" or "very satisfied" ranges from 85 to 100% (LE3)). At long-term follow-up, regret rate (women who regret having had the surgery) is 5% (LE4). In women over 80 years old, colpocleisis is associated with a decrease in per-and post-operative complication rates when compare to other surgical techniques used for pelvic organ prolapse surgery (LE2). CONCLUSION: Colpocleisis is a valid surgical option for elderly patients with pelvic organ prolapse surgery, and who are definitely permanently sexually inactive (Grade C). © 2016 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.

INTRODUCTION: The issue addressed in this chapter of recommendations is: What is the clinical and para-clinical assessment to achieve in women with genital prolapse and for whom surgical treatment has been decided. What are the clinical elements of the examination that must be taken into account as a risk factor of failure or relapse after surgery, in order to anticipate and evaluate possible surgical difficulties, and to move towards a preferred surgical technique? MATERIAL AND METHODS: This work is based on a systematic review of the literature (PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Cochrane Database of Systemactic Reviews, EMBASE) for meta-analyzes, randomized trials, registries, literature reviews, controlled studies and major not controlled studies, published on the subject. Its implementation has followed the methodology of the HAS on the recommendations for clinical practice, with a scientific argument (with the level of evidence, NP) and a recommendation grade (A, B, C, and professional agreement [AP]). RESULTS: It suits first of all to describe prolapse, by clinical examination, helped, if needed, by a supplement of imagery if clinical examination data are insufficient or in case of discrepancy between the functional signs and clinical anomalies found, or in case of doubt in associated pathology. It suits to look relapse risk factors (high grade prolapse) and postoperative complications risk factors (risk factors for prothetic exposure, surgical approach difficulties, pelvic pain syndrome with hypersensitivity) to inform the patient and guide the therapeutic choice. Urinary functional disorders associated with prolapse (urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, dysuria, urinary tract infection, upper urinary tract impact) will be search and evaluated by interview and clinical examination and by a flowmeter with measurement of the post voiding residue, a urinalysis, and renal-bladder ultrasound. In the presence of voiding disorders, it is appropriate to do their clinical and urodynamic evaluation. In the absence of any spontaneous or hidden urinary sign, there is so far no reason to recommend systematically urodynamic assessment. Anorectal symptoms associated with prolapse (irritable bowel syndrome, obstruction of defecation, fecal incontinence) should be search and evaluated. Before prolapse surgery, it is essential not to ignore gynecologic pathology. CONCLUSION: Before proposing a surgical cure of genital prolapse of women, it suits to achieve a clinical and paraclinical assessment to describe prolapse (anatomical structures involved, grade), to look for recurrence, difficulties approach and postoperative complications risk factors, and to appreciate the impact or the symptoms associated with prolapse (urinary, anorectal, gynecological, pelvic-perineal pain) to guide their evaluation and their treatment. © 2016 Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
