Over the course of the past year, we have faced a truly
unprecedented healthcare crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic
has tested the resources and capacity of health systems
around the world and our normal working patterns have
been radically altered. Despite these challenges, the EAU
Guidelines Office has continued to function and we are
honoured to present the 2021 edition of the European
Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines. We would like to
take this opportunity to thank all members of the Guidelines
Office who have worked tirelessly over the course of the
past twelve months to make this update possible. The EAU
Guidelines remain the most comprehensive, continuously
updated, guidelines available for urologists and clinicians
from related specialties.

Last year an additional burden was placed on panel members
over and above the yearly update of the EAU Guidelines. In
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a Guidelines Office
Rapid Reaction Group (GORRG), composed of highly
experienced Board and Panel members was established. The
GORRG groups initial remit was to provide rapid guidance,
underpinned by the best knowledge available, on adapting
EAU Guidelines recommendations to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thanks to the efforts of all panel members, the publication of
the EAU Adapted Guidelines for the COVID-19 Era was achieved
in a very short period and published in April 2020. Moving
forward, the GORRG will expand on their initial remit to
address a wider range of important topics directly impacting
urological practice.

For the 2021 edition of the EAU Guidelines, we are proud
to present two new EAU Guidelines on Non-Neurogenic
Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and Urethral
Strictures. The Guidelines on Non-Neurogenic Female
LUTS provide a concise overview of the evidence-base
related to assessment and treatment of female LUTS as
reflected in clinical practice and expands on the previous
EAU Incontinence Guideline. The Guidelines on Urethral
Strictures aim to provide a comprehensive overview of
urethral strictures management in male, female and
transgender patients.

The yearly publication of the EAU Guidelines would not
be possible without the unwavering support of the EAU
Executive Committee and Management team, our highly
valued Guidelines Panels and young Guidelines Associates,
the Guidelines Office Staff, our EAU membership and every
user of the Guidelines globally. So, on behalf of the EAU
Guidelines Office Board, thank you for your support and
inspiration.

We hope you enjoy using the 2021 update of the EAU
Guidelines!
