Dear Colleagues;

This issue, which contains extremely important scientific studies, also sheds light on the historical developments in the field of pelviperineology.

Prof. Peter Petros, the father of the ideas that overcame the ill fortune of the pelvic floor, evaluates the future of the Urethral Ligament Plication Surgery, while another prominent German-born pelvic floor surgeon, Prof. Wolfram Jäger, presents a brilliant brainstorming session on the pathogenesis of Urinary Incontinence. Moreover, our Chinese colleague Dr. Ding provides a systematic overview of the application of the Integral Theory System in clinical practice in a superb review.

Meanwhile, the scientifically valuable research studies and case reports raise the bar for our August 2025 issue to the highest level.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy every page of this issue, and I thank everyone who contributed to its publication.

Enjoy reading.

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Akın SİVASLIOĞLU
