Filter by:In the current scientific literature, it is clear that SUI can cause several social, hygienic and personal relationship problems. It has also been proven that this condition affects many more menopausal women than menacme, and this is believed to be due to the hypoestrogenism characteristic of this phase. On the other hand, weakness of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) is also related to the genesis of SUI. The role of these muscles would be to keep the bladder neck elevated (above the pubic symphysis) during increases in abdominal pressure, and its weakness would lead to excessive lowering of the bladder neck at these times, leading to SUI due to bladder neck hypermobility. The conservative treatment of this condition, therefore, encompasses the strengthening of PFMs, which would avoid excessive descent of the bladder neck during increases in abdominal pressure, thereby reducing urinary loss. In the current literature there are studies proving the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training; however, in relation to the literature on abdominal hipopressive gymnastics, it is observed that the scientific evidence is still poor, however, the technique is still Widely spread through extension courses offered throughout Latin America, France and Spain; With regard to the comparison of these methods with respect to their clinical efficacy and the quality of life and patient satisfaction, there are no consistent studies, and this fact motivated us to carry out this study.
This is a prospective study to assess the feasibility and success of performing an intra-operative standing cough test and the correlation with the long term success of the sling surgery.
There are many existing treatments of female stress urinary incontinence such as the use of adult absorbent pads and diapers, behavioral training, including bladder training, pelvic muscle exercises, biofeedback, urethral plugs, intravaginal prosthesis, electrical stimulation, periurethral injections, and reconstructive surgery. However, there is still a lack of effective minimally invasive treatment options that are independent of patient compliance. One emerging approach of minimally invasive SUI therapy is pelvic floor reinforcement using laser therapy. The primary objective of this post-marketing study is to confirm the effectiveness and safety of the FotonaSmooth® device in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in a large number of females using objective and subjective methods. Patients with stress incontinence will be assigned to two groups, an active group, where the Fotona Dynamis Er:YAG Laser System will be used, and a sham group where a very low laser setting will be used, and parameter presentations will be masked. Participants will be adult females, 18 years old and older with clinical and urodynamic diagnosis of Stress Urinary Incontinence,who have had no significant improvement in urinary incontinence from at least one previous conservative treatment, such as behavioral measures, pelvic floor muscle training or the use of absorbent pads
Concurrent treatment of endometrial cancer and SUI may improve QOL, emotional and physical health and decrease costs for both patients and the health care system. At the time of endometrial cancer diagnosis, not only are women evaluated by a gynecologist and/or a gynecologic oncologist, but the majority will undergo surgery within weeks of their diagnosis. Thus, urinary incontinence could easily be identified, a referral made, and concurrent surgery performed. This would spare the patient two surgeries, decrease the emotional distress associated with SUI symptoms, decrease the costs associated with SUI for the patient and possibly improve overall quality of life. The proposed study will compare the quality of life and clinical outcomes among women with endometrial cancer and SUI that have concurrent surgery to women that do not have concurrent surgery. The findings of our proposed research will provide valuable information necessary for woman and clinicians to make decisions regarding the treatment of SUI, including evidence regarding the risks and benefits of performing concurrent endometrial cancer and SUI surgery.
Determine safety and effectiveness of the technique using autologous stem cells in the treatment of urinary incontinence in one male subject.
The ROSE Registry will determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of Macroplastique in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD).
