Moving toward a corticocentric view of pediatric urinary incontinence.

Dr. Israel Franco is Adjunct Professor of Clinical Urology at Yale School of Medicine. Previously he was Professor of Urology at New York Medical College and Yale School of Medicine. He has held multiple leadership positions in the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) and on September 5, 2025, he delivered the Kelm Hjalmas lecture at the ICCS meeting in Vienna, Austria. He has long advocated for improved understanding of pediatric urinary continence by looking at the central control of the bladder and urethral sphincter. We took this opportunity to further discuss how this view affects his clinical approach and where he thinks this will lead us in our treatment of pediatric urinary incontinence.
