Filter by:Nowadays the clinical significance of an occult stress urinary incontinence and its optimal treatment is not known.Regarding treatment, there are 2 main approaches : either the systematic preventive treatment of the occult stress urinary incontinence by means of a tension free vaginal tape (TOT) together with the treatment of prolapse or the treatment of prolapse in the first place and treatment of stress incontinence in a second time when and if it appears.This study is expected to provide objective evidence concerning the efficacy and security of TOT implantation for the prevention treatment of occult stress urinary incontinence in women with pelvic organ prolapse and occult urinary incontinence.The perspective is to improve the management of these patients by providing evidence based recommendation for their treatment.
This is a prospective, comparative randomized controled trial. The general purposes of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of TVTO™ and TVTSecur™ as surgical treatment for female urinary stress incontinence.
A study to compare efficacy in surgical treatment for SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence), tot with minisling.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer device effectively treats stress, urge or mixed incontinence in women by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles by collecting data from the patient on the 1. Over Active Bladder Questionnaire 2. The 7-Day Urine Diary questionnaire This study will also look at whether or not there is an improvement in sexual health after using the device by collecting data frm the patient on the 3. Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire
Although pregnancy and childbirth are associated with happiness and a positive life change for most women, it can also be considered as risk periods for injuries to the pelvic floor and development of pelvic floor dysfunction. This may leed to devastating loss of function and quality of life (Ashton-Miller & DeLancey 2007). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of postpartum pelvic floor muscle training for primiparous women with and without pelvic floor muscle injury.
After radical prostatectomy nerve damage in the pelvic floor usually occurs. This causes side effects in the form of incontinence and erectile dysfunction. It has previously been shown that one can stimulate the nerves of the pelvic floor by means of transcutaneous mechanical nerve stimulation (TMNS) done through vibration. This study will examine the effect of TMNS in the preservation and restoration of urinary continence and erectile function and in the treatment of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction in conjunction with radical prostatectomy. The theory is that by means of TMNS one can stimulate the nerves of the pelvic floor and the penis which may improve their function and there by prevent or minimize the occurrence of incontinence and erectile dysfunction following pelvic surgery. Vibration may also help to eliminate these symptoms once they have occurred. It is possible that TMNS will also directly increase the blood flow in the cavernosal tissue thus aiding in the preservation of this tissue. In case the improved nerve function is not great enough to secure satisfactory erectile function in itself it may still improve the effect of PDE-5-inhibitors. In pilot studies TMNS has already shown an effect in the treatment of urinary continence. In this study the patients will be randomized to either TMNS treatment or no TMNS treatment. In both groups the patients will participate in a pelvic floor muscle training program. In the group receiving active treatment this will be supplemented by TMNS treatment. The two groups will be evaluated and compared with regard to erectile function time to continence after surgery.
The purpose of the proposed study is to test the effect of the new gel pad on the quality of life of urinary incontinent men and women and to assess to what extent the gel pad improves the quality of life of incontinence persons.
The purpose of this trial was to discover which type of operation for stress urinary incontinence in women offered better results: autologous slings, TVT or Pelvicol slings.
The objective of this investigation is to asses with validated scales, the impact on the quality of life of men suffering of moderate to severe incontinence of the use of Conveen Optima urisheath in comparison with their usual absorbent protection.
Robotic approach to sacral colpopexy is a relatively new procedure. The literature is scarce in regard to its long-term outcomes. This advanced procedure is offered at MMH through the Urogynecology division. The Investigators setup to review the one year outcome of patients who underwent this procedure using a polypropylene mesh. These outcomes will include anatomical and quality of life measures.
