Surgical Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence Hann-Chorng Kuo Department of Urology Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital
Surgical Goals for Stress Urinary Incontinence • To restore urinary continence • To preserve normal micturition • Free of bladder outlet obstruction • Not to create newly developed urge incontinence or exacerbate existing urge incontinence • Not to jeopardize renal function
Historical surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence • Kelly plication procedure • Marshall-Marchetti-Kratz procedure • Pereyra procedure • Stamey bladder neck suspension • Raz bladder neck suspension • Gittes bladder neck suspension
Current popular surgical procedures for SUI • Burch colposuspension procedure • Fascial pubovaginal sling procedure • Vaginal sling procedure • Collagen, Teflon, fat injection • Synthetic pubovaginal sling procedure • Tension free vaginal tape • Laparoscopic bladder neck suspension
Goals for Surgical correction of Stress incontinence • Adequate vaginal support of the urethra and bladder neck for urethral hypermobility • Restoration of hammock effect during stress for damages in attachments to fascia pelvis • Increase urethral coaptation if intrinsic sphincteric deficiency exists • Correct prolapse concomitantly • Do not create bladder outlet obstruction
Pubovaginal Sling procedures • Fascial sling – rectus fascia, fascia lata • Sling on a string • Artificial sling - mersilene silastic dacron marlex • Cadaveric or porcine collagen sling • Bone anchor sling • TVT / SPARC – polypropylene mesh
Fascial and Silastic slings • Silastic and fascial slings are not elastic • Both form rigid support at bladder neck • Move very little – 1 to 2 mm only • Produce proximal compression • More likely to be obstructive • Mersilene more likely to erode
TVT – tension-free vaginal tape • First published 1996 by Ulmsten • >200,000 performed worldwide to date • Innovative in: • Midurethral positioning • Stretchable woven Prolene™ mesh • Rough edge for fixation to tissues • Local or regional anaesthesia / day surgery
Prolene mesh Pubovaginal sling procedure • 64 patients, aged 37 – 82 years • Mean follow-up 24 months • 52 were dry, 2 were dry after a second sling, 10 had improvement but mild SUI • Satisfactory rate 86% • Persistent DI in 3, resolution of DI in 3, De novo DI in 4
