Filter by:The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact AFS and TVT procedures on quality-of-life in incontinent women.
The purpoe of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the tension-free vaginal tape procedure (TVT) to the TVT-SECUR procedure in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Over 11 million women in the United States suffer from stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the involuntary leakage of urine during routine physical activities such as laughing, coughing, exercising, or sneezing. SUI affects women of all ages and can result in significant emotional distress. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a non-surgical, investigational treatment intended to reduce or eliminate urine leakage due to stress urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is a major health issue in women. It is estimated to affect 30 - 40% of older women. Stress urinary incontinence, the most common form of this disease, is treated primarily with surgery. A woman's lifetime risk of surgery for SUI is 4%, with nearly 1/3 of surgery being performed for recurrences. Many different surgical procedures have been described for the treatment of SUI and there is no general agreement as to the most effective. This study compares the safety and efficacy of the tension-free vaginal tape procedure to the Monarc subfascial hammock procedure in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
Study F1J-MC-SBBU will examine the effect of duloxetine treatment in women with SUI. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of this Phase 3 study will ensure that all subjects have a clinical diagnosis of SUI.
Study F1J-MC-SBBT will examine the effect of duloxetine treatment in women with SUI. The inclusion and exclusion criteria of this Phase 3 study will ensure that all subjects have a clinical diagnosis of SUI.
Stress urinary incontinence is a frequent condition that can be caused by urethral sphincter insufficiency and results in a dramatic deterioration of the quality of life. We developed a new therapeutic strategy for stress urinary incontinence based on the implantation myofibers with their satellite cells in the urethra. The aim of this procedure is to generate functional tissue acting like a new sphincter in the urethra
The primary objective of this study is to obtain clinical performance information on the GYNECARE TVT-SECUR* System (Tension-free Support for Incontinence) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
The objective of this observational study is to obtain long -term clinical and patient reported outcomes on the use of the GYNECARE family of TVT (Tension-Free Vaginal Tape) systems in women with stress urinary incontinence.
The so-called tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), first described in Sweden in 1996, has become a standard operation worldwide for the treatment of women with stress urinary incontinence. This tape is placed from the vagina behind the pubic bone and exits through the skin of the lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone. In 2001 a urologist in France proposed passing a similar tape laterally (as opposed to behind the pubic bone). This tape is passed through a window of the pelvic bones (the so-called obturator foramen), by what is called a transobturator approach. It is passed through the skin of the thigh (as opposed to the lower abdomen). The reason for this modification was to avoid injuring the bladder and, possibly, provide a more physiologic restoration of the continence mechanism. However, it is unclear whether the lateral (so-called transobturator approach) is as good as or better than the initial approach behind the pubic bone. The purpose of the present study is to compare the standard (retropubic) and the newer (transobturator) approach for the placement of a tape for treating women with stress urinary incontinence.
