IFRUU Lectureship: Development of a Simple-Minded and User-friendly Classification System Applicable to All Types of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction – Summary
Alan J. Wein, MD, PhD (hon), FACS, discusses a simplified and user-friendly classification system for lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), which can be applied to both neurogenic and non-neurogenic conditions. In this 15-minute presentation, he acknowledges the contributions of earlier researchers and emphasizes the utility of this classification system as a guide for diagnosis and management.
The proposed system divides LUTD into two main categories: failure to store and failure to empty, with further subdivisions based on bladder or outlet dysfunction. The system is designed to be practical and applicable to various clinical scenarios. The system simplifies diagnosis and offers a logical framework for treatment options.
About The 1st International Functional and Reconstructive Urology Update (IFRUU)
The International Functional and Reconstructive Urology Update is a multi-day meeting focused on functional and reconstructive urology (FRU). FRU is a rapidly expanding subspecialty with the vision to improve the lives of all patients with urinary disorders. The IFRUU conference aims to equip practitioners with the tools to manage patients with functional urologic disorders effectively.
