The NIDDK recently sponsored a seven-week virtual seminar series titled:“Female Urethral Function and Failure: Advancing Basic and Translational Research for Genitourinary Conditions.” In this multinational consultation, recent evidence revealing the key role played by the urethra was discussed, the state of urethral knowledge evaluated, and important knowledge gaps in our understanding this critical organ identified. An executive summary of the series, as well as key points and identified research gaps, are available as supplementary material. This international gathering of scientists underscored the need to re-evaluate the current two-factor theory that emphasizes abnormal detrusor function for urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) and poor urethral support for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and to move to a three-factor theory that includes the role that urethral failure plays in both stress and urge incontinence (Figure 1). If the urethra is critical to maintaining continence, then the question becomes,“now what?” Why has the urethra escaped scientific scrutiny for so long? It is probably because the widely held two-factor theory of incontinence paralleled the treatments we had available at the time. However, starting in the 1960’s evidence began accumulating that urethral function was much lower in incontinent women (2, 3) and many studies of this parameter followed. However, the fact that urethral support operations for SUI were reasonably successful without changing urethral pressure (4, 5) and the fact that measuring urethral pressure didn’t
