In this episode, host Gisela Assis (Nurse, Brazil) is joined by Kristine Talley (Nurse, United States) and Janie Thompson (Nurse, Australia) to discuss a recent review of evidence into lifestyle and behavioral interventions for urinary incontinence in frail older adults. It is based on an article in the Continence journal Volume 13 2025. New research, clinical guidelines or clinical trials were considered since the 7th International Consultation on Incontinence (ICI). It was found that the evidence remains limited in this population group despite the significant impact of urinary incontinence on the frail older adults: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772973725000062 
 Together, the panel explores the current state of evidence in this important area, highlighting that, despite the significant impact of urinary incontinence on frail older adults, evidence for effective interventions in this population remains limited. The discussion also reflects on implications for clinical practice and future research priorities.

In this ICS podcast, Dr Said Yaiesh is joined by Dr Wayne Kuang, Professor Craig Comiter, and Dr Shannon Wallace for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving understanding of male LUTS. The panel explores the limitations of a purely prostate-centric approach, the growing role of bladder-focused thinking, the importance of phenotyping and selective advanced diagnostics, and how concepts from female LUTS may help shape future research and management strategies in men. The discussion balances emerging ideas with practical clinical decision making and real-world patient care.

In this episode, hosts Shannon Wallace and Cyrille Guillot-Tantay are joined by Howard Goldman and Sandip Vasavada to explore the challenges of mid-urethral sling revision surgery. The discussion covers practical decision-making around complications including mesh exposure, pain, infection, and voiding dysfunction, with a focus on when to manage conservatively and when surgical intervention is needed.

In this episode of the ICS Podcast, we explore how botulinum toxin (BoNT‑A) injection techniques for overactive bladder (OAB) are evolving—and why injection location, depth, and template may matter more than ever.
Hosted by Juan Peñafiel and Shannon Wallace, the discussion brings together two internationally recognised experts: Benoit Peyronnet (Urologist) and Michael Kennelly (Neurourologist). Together, they examine the growing evidence behind trigonal and trigone‑sparing injection strategies, challenging long‑held dogmas around reflux risk and urinary retention.
Key topics include:
Why and when to consider trigonal or predominantly trigonal injection templates
How injection depth, volume, and number of sites influence outcomes
Strategies to reduce the risk of urinary retention while maintaining efficacy
Differences in approach for idiopathic vs neurogenic OAB
Practical tips for training, technique, and tailoring treatment to individual patients
The conversation also reflects on gaps in the current evidence base, what future trials are still needed, and how clinicians can safely adapt their practice today.
