Research Activity
The focus of Manuela Tutolo’s research is the study of predictive factors of iatrogenic urinary incontinence after pelvic surgery. She is strongly involved in developing predictive models for this purpose to investigate patients before pelvic surgery and before any surgery for urinary incontinence in order to select the ideal candidate for surgery and create realistic expectations in terms of functional outcomes. Likewise, Manuela Tutolo’s research focuses on the work-up management of patients with urological and andrological disorders associated with neurological diseases, especially in multiple sclerosis. In this context, she is co-responsible for the Multidisciplinary Outpatient Pelvic Floor Clinical and Research Office.
