Summary: This study reveals novel risk factors associated with female urinary incontinence (UI). The findings provide new knowledge about the burden of this disease among women, which can be utilized to promote more equitable healthcare for these patients in the future. Previous research aligned with these findings suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to address health disparities.

Summary: The transalbugineal approach to artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation provides a technique that can reduce the incidence of intraoperative urethral injury and subsequent erosion, while preserving sexual function. A retrospective study showed low rates of complications and maintained continence and potency outcomes. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.
