  • Lifestyle and Behavioural Interventions for Urinary Incontinence in Frail Older Adults: Review of Recent Evidence
    Jun 24 2026

    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.

  • Beyond the Prostate: Rethinking Male LUTS
    Jun 17 2026

    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.

  • Botulinum toxin injection templates for overactive bladder: why and when?
    Apr 29 2026

    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.

  • A Multidisciplinary Approach to Multicompartment Prolapse
    Feb 25 2026

    In this episode, host Shannon Wallace, Urogynaecologist, sits down with two colleagues from Ohio who work alongside her in a truly integrated pelvic floor team: Anna Spivak, Colorectal Surgeon, and Cameron Pikula, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. Together, they explore why multicompartment prolapse requires more than a single‑specialty viewpoint—and how collaborative care can transform diagnostic clarity, patient counselling, and long‑term outcomes.

    Whether you are part of a multidisciplinary unit or practice in a setting without close-access colleagues, this episode offers practical insights, red flags to watch for, and suggestions for building collaborative pathways in your own environment.
