Although urological oncology is by far our largest section, it has increasingly become evident to us that the most cited part of the BJUI is functional urology. While this may come as a surprise, it is a reflection of the high quality of submissions that appear in this section. For your reading pleasure here are three "functional" articles in this issue worthy of attention. The paper from David Ginsberg also appears on the web journal as an article of the week. In the first of our functional urology articles this month, Sjostrom et al. once again confirm the value of PFMT for the treatment of questionnaire and interview diagnosed SUI [1]. Further, they show that an Internet-based program, which is more detailed and requires more contact (see Table 2 in the article), is more effective than a postal-based program in this regard after 3 months of usage (follow up at 4 months). What does more effective mean? For the ICIQ-UI SF scores, minimal difference in mean score is seen in the group scoring 1-5 (slight) and 6-12 (moderate) at baseline, a difference of 8.1 to 11 seen in the group scoring 13-21 (severe and very severe) at baseline (Figure 2).
