The American Urological Association (AUA), in partnership with the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU) released the 2021 clinical guideline for the diagnosis, evaluation, treatment and follow-up of Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD) in adults.
NLUTD is a term used to refer to the abnormal function of either the bladder, bladder neck and/or its sphincters related to a neurologic disorder. Prior terminology commonly used "neurogenic bladder" to describe this condition. With the understanding this is not an issue confined to the bladder, NLUTD is now the preferred way to describe the various voiding issues seen in patients with a neurologic disorder.
The focus of this guideline is on the evaluation, treatment and follow up of care for adults with NLUTD. A total of 60 recommendations, including those associated with initial evaluation, autonomic dysreflexia, urinary tract infections, non-surgical and surgical treatment options, as well as follow up and post treatment care are reflected within this new clinical guidance.
Highlights include:
- An algorithm that allows for risk stratification of patients with NLUTD (low-, moderate- or high-risk), helping guide appropriate follow-up and surveillance.
- Recommendations on which patients need to be monitored for autonomic dysreflexia (AD) during procedures and how to intervene if AD occurs.
- UTI recommendations focusing on issues such as not treating asymptomatic bacteruria, not obtaining screening urinalysis or culture in asymptomatic patients and the consideration of daily antibiotic prophylaxis for NLUTD patients who manage their bladder with clean intermittent catheterization and have recurrent UTI.
- Treatment options to improve bladder storage parameters such as oral therapies (antimuscarinics and/or beta-3 agonists) or, if oral therapies fail, onabotulinumtoxinA to improve bladder storage parameters, decrease episodes of incontinence, and improve quality of life measures.

South AmericaPanelist: Marcio A. Averbeck, MD, MSc, PhDUKPanelist: Tamsin J. Greenwell, MBChB, MD FRCS(Urol)CanadaPanelist: Blayne K. Welk, MDContinental EuropePanelist: Matteo Balzarro, MDBlayne K. Welk, MDSt. Josephs HospitalLondon, ONConsistent with many other societies, the Canadian Urology Association supports the use of midurethral synthetic slings for the treatment of stress incontinence. However, these procedures have decreased substantial over the last 10 years in Canada in response to public awareness of the legal cases and the North American regulatory warnings. Marcio A. Averbeck, MD, MSc, PhDMoinhos de Vento HospitalPorto Alegre, BrazilAccording to a cross-sectional study, which used a 37-item internet-based survey applied to members of urologic and gynecologic associations from 18 countries in Latin America, most participants (75.2%) indicated that the use of mesh has declined after FDA warnings, and 41.9% considered this has had a negative effect in the use of midurethral synthetic slings (MUS) as well (1). One of the largest series of MUS in Southern Brazil has been presented during the 2014 ICS Annual Congress in Rio de Janeiro (2). From January 2008 to December 2013, 315 patients underwent TOT implantation at a single terciary hospital. Mean age was 58.66±11.87 years. Postoperative continence rate was 78% at a mean follow-up of 33.83±20.67 months (6 to 72 months). Surgical complications were found in 17.4% of patients. Most frequent complications were dyspareunia (16 cases), groin pain (12 cases), newonset of recurrent urinary tract infections (5 cases), de novo urgency (5 cases), vaginal erosion (3 cases) and persistent urinary retention requiring urethrolysis (3 cases). 90.3% of patients stated that they did not regret undergoing TOT implantion and were happy with their surgical outcomes.Consistent with many other international medical societies, the Brazilian Society of Urology (SBU) still supports the use of midurethral synthetic slings for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. However, public hospitals usually have budget restrictions and the ‘mesh controversy’ has been perceived as an excuse to postpone regular acquisition of surgical materials (eg. synthetic sling kits). Curiously, the decision-making process for surgical interventions is mostly surgeon-centered in most South-American countries.References1.

Urologic Issues in Pregnancy PanelPregnancy represents a distinct and exceptionally complex physiologic state with significant impact on a variety of urologic concerns.Considerations must be made for not only the anatomic and physiologic alterations in the mother which may manifest during pregnancy, but also for the vulnerability of the fetus. Urologic issues such as stones and hydronephrosis, urinary diversion, and urinary tract infections often require a multidisciplinary approach given the unique maternal-fetal environment.I. Urinary DiversionAlthough considerable debate exists regarding management of pregnant patients with a urinary diversion, this session is designed to introduce concepts and present treatment options for potential issues that can arise. Best practices regarding surgical interventions and common pharmaceutical treatments for pregnant patients with diversions will be presented.Information will be provided regarding the impact of pregnancy on the physiology of urinary diversion, particularly with regards to hydronephrosis and renal function, along with special emphasis on matters encountered with catheterizable channels. Risks and strategies for contending with lower urinary tract and ascending infections in the pregnant diversion patient will be discussed. Counseling regarding potential selection criteria for determination of the mode of delivery will additionally be illustrated.II. Urinary Tract InfectionsUrinary tract infections are the most common type of infection during pregnancy, affecting 10% of women. The usual offender is Escherichia coli, but recent rise of resistance are narrowing available and safe antibiotics for expectant mothers. UTI in pregnancy can lead to hospitalization due to worsening infectious presentation in the mother as well as preterm labor. Inaddition, potential complications to the offspring are low birthweight, long term infectious morbidity and risks of specific birth defects. Although the dogmatic recommendations are to always treat urinary tract infections and asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy, risks of infections should be weighed against effects of antibiotics such as antimicrobial resistance and developmental risks to the fetus.III. Stones & HydronephrosisOverall risk of stones in pregnancy is similar to non-pregnant women. Additional risk factors (increased filtered loads of Ca, Na, and uric acid) are balanced by factors that decrease risk (forced diuresis, increased excretion of citrate, Mg, and glycoproteins). The usual evaluation of nephrolithiasis is complicated by physiologic changes in the urinary tract as 90% of pregnant women have hydronephrosis (right > left) and desire to avoid radiation to the fetus.Stones/HydronephrosisPanelist: Karen L.

Moderator: Cristiano Gomes, MDSacral is the TargetSpeaker: Steven W. Siegel, MDOther TargetsSpeaker: Scott A. MacDiarmid, MDJust think of the number of patients we see each and every day with overactive bladder and who do not reach their treatment goal inspite of us trying a number of medications and behavioral interventions. And to make the problem worse, the penetrance of our thirdline therapies in patients with refractory OAB (ROAB) is less than 5%.Dr. Siegel will highlight the benefits of sacral nerve stimulation for the management of this difficult population of patients. I will shine thelight on neuromodulation directed towards ‘other targets’ concentrating on the tibial and saphenous nerve.I will briefly remind us of the excellent efficacy and safety of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) advancing us one step closerto neuromodulation for the masses. I will introduce a subcutaneously implanted coin-sized tibial nerve stimulator (eCoin), an excitingnew office-based implant currently under investigation. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the saphenous nerve will also be noted.Our goal is to highlight therapies and to energize the audience in pursuing excellence in the management of the overactive bladderpatient. Steve plays tennis, I’m hockey. Not a fair fight but welcome to our program. Cheers.

Join Dr. Fenwa Milhouse, Dr. Rena Malik and Dr. Yahir Santiago Lastra as we discuss the healthcare disparities in a 3 part podcast series. In this first episode we discuss the way covid-19 has impacted black americans, the historical context of healthcare disparities in the african american population, ways to improve your care of African American patients and more! -------During the latest podcast discussing the racial health disparities and systemic racism, at 24:40 I say, "we are fortunate enough to live in a predominantly white suburb"I need to discuss this for a moment. It was a statement I regret making. One that I didn't even realize I said until listening to the podcast myself. Even as a black woman, I subconsciously made a statement disparaging black communities. What this demonstrates is how racism can be internalized by minorities themselves. Often, black Americans are conditioned, whether consciously or not, that part of achieving the American dream is living in "desirable", predominantly white, affluent neighborhoods. I want to use this to further highlight that we all have implicit bias. This is my implicit bias showing and I hope it serves as an example to the SUFU community and audience at large. Finally, I want to absolutely correct my sentiments. I am fortunate to live in a well resourced and funded neighborhood - is what I actually meant to convey. It is unfortunate and unbalanced that neighborhoods well resourced and funded typically exclude predominantly black communities.
