Commentary: Cannabinoids in Urology. Which Benign Conditions Might they be Appropriate to Treat: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The recently published article in the Journal of Urology titled ‘Cannabinoids in urology. Which benign conditions might they be appropriate to treat: A systematic review’, explores the broad role of cannabinoids in the treatment of benign urological diseases. Whilst the review successfully appraises a significant amount of evidence, it was unable to discuss each urological application of cannabinoids in depth due to the current evidence base suffering from a distinct lack of in-depth analysis as well as due to manuscript word-limitations. The authors of the original review would like to use this commentary as an opportunity to further expand upon key elements that were not previously discussed.
