“…Participants in both treatment groups experienced significant improvement in symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength, without any difference between the two treatment groups. Likewise, good efficacy for behavioral therapies based on health medicine in female UI was also reported by Yu et al [23], Schimpf et al [32], and Goode et al [52].…”

“…The application of telemedicine in these clinical settings can be recommended in the present pandemic. Among the seven studies evaluating the use of telemedicine in the management of any kind of UI [12,23,32,38,49,51,52], there were two RCTs [12,38]. All the other reports were prospective series.…”

Context: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused increased interest in the application of telehealth to provide care without exposing patients and physicians to the risk of contagion. The urological literature on the topic is sparse. Objective: To perform a systematic review of the literature and evaluate all the available studies on urological applications of telehealth. Evidence acquisition: After registration on PROSPERO, we searched PubMed and Scopus databases to collect any kind of studies evaluating any telehealth interventions in any urological conditions. The National Toxicology Program/Office of Health Assessment and Translation Risk of Bias Rating Tool for Human and Animal Studies was used to estimate the risk of bias. A narrative synthesis was performed. Evidence synthesis: We identified 45 studies (11 concerning prostate cancer [PCa], three hematuria management, six urinary stones, 14 urinary incontinence [UI], five urinary tract infections [UTIs], and six other conditions), including 12 randomized controlled trials. The available literature indicates that telemedicine has been implemented successfully in several common clinical scenarios, including the decision-making process following a diagnosis of nonmetastatic PCa, follow-up care of patients with localized PCa after curative treatments, initial diagnosis of hematuria, management diagnosis and follow-up care of uncomplicated urinary stones and uncomplicated UTIs, and initial evaluation, behavioral therapies, and pelvic floor muscle training in UI patients, as well
