Filter by:The pre-pubic approach of the tension free vaginal sling placement is a new approach in the treatment of SUI. The retropubic approach of the tension free vaginal sling is the standard method of device delivery; in addition a suprapubic and a transobturator approach are alternative methods of delivery. All of these delivery approach systems are intended to place the mesh "tension free" in the mid-urethra. There are currently no studies that investigate the pre-pubic delivery approach in the United States. However, the largest series of cases in Europe using the pre-pubic system was done by Ulmsten (published in the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology) 107 (2003) 205-207, titled " Pre-Pubic tension free vaginal tape application: an alternative to classic tension free vaginal tape application in selected patients with SUI." The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using a pre-pubic approach to the placement of a mid-urethral vaginal mesh. - Demonstrate the mesh can be properly placed in the mid-urethra using a pre-pubic approach; - Assess the performance of the delivery device by measuring the ease of use, technical complexity, and instrument difficulties
Registry to gather information about the long term use of the Prefyx PPS System for the treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate methods in spinal cord injured individuals to improve reflex urination. Anal dilation will be investigated to reduce high urethral resistance and a vibrator on the patient's bottom will be tested to induce more sustained bladder contractions for better bladder emptying.
To investigate the role of preoperative maximum urethral closure pressure and Valsalva leak point pressure in predicting outcome in patients who underwent trans-obturator tape for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
The specific aim of this proposed project is to implement a standard process for integrating MedlinePlus health information prescriptions into the clinic workflow. Hypothesis 1: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more likely to seek information / use MedlinePlus compared with individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more satisfied with the information received compared with individuals in the control group.
RATIONALE: Personalized training by a health professional may improve urinary incontinence. It is not yet known whether pelvic floor muscle training and biofeedback are more effective than standard therapy in improving urinary continence after radical prostatectomy or transurethral resection of the prostate. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying pelvic floor muscle training and biofeedback to see how well it works compared with standard therapy in men who have undergone radical prostatectomy or transurethral resection.
The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of Bulkamid® in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD) in adult women who have SUI or stress predominant mixed incontinence
The study was conducted between 2004 and 2006 to prove efficacy and tolerability of the antimuscarinic propiverine compared to placebo in children suffering from non-neurogenic overactive bladder and urinary incontinence.
People who do not have adequate amounts of vitamin D develop weakness of leg and arm muscles. This study will determine if vitamin D supplementation benefits muscle functions important for swallowing, bladder and bowel function.
To evaluate the impact of Burch colposuspension (BC), as an anti-incontinence measure, in patients with urinary incontinence (UI) undergoing abdominal surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair
