We provide an overview of the distribution of robotic platforms for uro-oncological surgery across countries on the basis of published evidence. da Vinci robotic platforms remain the most widely adopted, with studies reported from 42 countries, followed by the Hugo RAS in 12 countries.

The efficacy of bulking agents is modest and success rates vary widely, with short-term improvements reported for some patients but with a decline in durability over time. In comparison to artificial urinary sphincters and male slings, bulking agents are associated with lower continence rates and higher risk of failure. Complication rates depend on the agent used, but most adverse effects are mild. Patient selection is critical, with better outcomes observed for mild to moderate incontinence. Although newer agents show promise, standardized protocols and long-term studies are needed to clarify the efficacy of new bulking agents in PPSUI management.

There is limited evidence in the literature on the efficacy and safety of current surgical options for treating SUI in octogenarians. The few studies available on this topic mainly focus on mid-urethral slings and reveal similar efficacy and safety profiles for octogenarian women in comparison to younger women. These studies are mostly retrospective, with small sample sizes and short follow-up. What data there are suggest that greater frailty, not older age, may be associated with complications in the elderly population (>65 yr), a finding that is not specific to octogenarians. Prospective studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up are needed to assess the safety and efficacy of the different surgical treatment options for SUI in octogenarians.
