1/153. Bladder neck suspension using percutaneous bladder neck stabilization to the pubic bone with a bone-anchor suture fixation system: A new extraperitoneal laparoscopic approach.A 39-year-old woman with type 1 genuine stress urinary incontinence was treated using a novel extraperitoneal laparoscopic bladder neck suspension procedure with a bone-anchor suture fixation system. operative time and blood loss were 2.5 and 50 g, respectively. The patient showed a remarkable improvement on chain cystography and in subjective and objective well-being with no complications, even 12 months after surgery. Extraperitoneal laparoscopic bladder neck suspension using the bone-anchor suture fixation system is an easy and feasible procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = urinary incontinence, incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/153. Small bowel obstruction in a peritoneal defect after laparoscopic Burch procedure.With expansion of laparoscopic surgery, the gynecologic surgeon faces a new set of complications not encountered in open surgery and completely related to the laparoscopic approach. A rare complication occurred after laparoscopic Burch colposuspension performed in a patient with genuine stress urinary incontinence. Although the fascial incision at the right lower quadrant cannula insertion site was closed, a loop of small bowel herniated through the nonclosed peritoneal defect and caused intestinal obstruction 9 days after surgery. For cannula insertion sites 10-mm and greater, we recommend suturing peritoneal defects at the time of fascial closure.

3/153. collagen injection for the treatment of incontinence after cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder reconstruction in women.PURPOSE: We determine the clinical efficacy of endoscopically injected collagen for the treatment of new onset urinary incontinence in women following cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder. MATERIALS AND methods: Three women 58 to 74 years old underwent transurethral collagen injection for stress urinary incontinence following cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder. Before cystectomy 2 women denied having any stress urinary incontinence while 1 complained of mild incontinence. Onset of incontinence following cystectomy and neobladder formation ranged from 8 months to 3 years, and average pad use ranged from 3 to 5 per 24-hour period. All patients underwent video urodynamic evaluation before collagen injection. Neobladder capacity was 180 to 400 cc and Valsalva leak point pressures ranged from 30 to 60 cm. water. RESULTS: A total of 6 injections were given, including 3 injections in 1 patient, 2 in 1 and 1 in 1. All 3 women had significant improvement or became dry with initial injection but required repeat injections to maintain improved continence status. At 7 to 8 months after the last injection 1 woman was dry, 1 used 1 or no pad daily and 1 reported no durable change in stress urinary incontinence. CONCLUSIONS: collagen injection appears to be a successful, minimally invasive treatment for new onset stress urinary incontinence following cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder in women.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5.8980799579359keywords = urinary incontinence, incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/153. Erosion of a fascial sling into the urethra.When synthetic materials are used for the construction of pubovaginal slings, urethral erosions may occur. This complication has not been reported with fascial slings. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman who underwent a pubovaginal sling procedure using rectus fascia. After 10 weeks of urinary retention, urethroscopy identified an erosion of the sling at the midurethra. Surgical revision restored normal voiding without recurrent stress incontinence. Although urethral erosions have been reported with synthetic suburethral slings, this case suggests that erosions can also occur with fascial slings. Careful positioning and minimal tension on the sling arms may minimize this risk.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.15072940056192keywords = incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/153. Bilateral S3 nerve stimulation, a minimally invasive alternative treatment for postoperative stress incontinence after implantation of an anterior root stimulator with posterior rhizotomy: a preliminary observation.STUDY DESIGN: A preliminary report. OBJECTIVES: Urinary stress incontinence following implantation of an anterior root stimulator and a posterior rhizotomy is a rare complication which is difficult to treat. It is seen in patients with an open bladder neck (T9-L2 lesion). An artificial urinary sphincter is a possible treatment for this condition but has a higher failure rate in patients with neurogenic bladder disease and could complicate micturition. SETTING: Ghent, belgium. methods: A male paraplegic patient (T9, complete lesion) aged 36 was suffering from severe urinary incontinence due to detrusor hyperreflexia. Preoperatively the bladder neck was closed on cystography. Following implantation (6/95) of an intradural anterior root stimulator with posterior rhizotomy, severe urinary stress incontinence presented. Bilateral S3 foramen leads were implanted and connected to a pulse generator. RESULTS: The patient has been continent with continuous stimulation of both S3 roots for 4 years, and no fatigue of the levator muscles has been seen. Preoperative urodynamics are compared to results 3 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Bilateral S3 stimulation is a feasible and minimally invasive treatment of urinary stress incontinence following implantation of an anterior root stimulator.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2.050908173643keywords = urinary incontinence, incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/153. Bladder leiomyoma: a rare cause of urinary stress incontinence.Lejomyoma of the bladder is an uncommon lesion and usually present as small intramural or submucosal lesions. Preoperative evaluation based on careful physical and radiologic examinations must rule out malignant and other lesions. It is readily and successfully treated in most cases with transurethral or open resection. The prognosis of this tumor is excellent and no malignant degeneration has been reported. The most common presentations are obstructive voiding symptoms, irritative symptoms, and hematuria. Occasionally, it may be a cause of urinary stress incontinence. Although this condition is rare, it should be considered in the causes of urinary stress incontinence.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.90437640337153keywords = incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/153. life-threatening anaphylactoid reaction associated with indigo carmine intravenous injection.indigo carmine (sodium indigotindisulfonate), a blue dye, has been widely used by surgeons to identify and to examine the urinary tract and is considered biologically inert and extremely safe.

8/153. New onset vesicovaginal fistula after transurethral collagen injection in women who underwent cystectomy and orthotopic neobladder creation: presentation and definitive treatment.PURPOSE: We present our experience with collagen injection for treating urinary incontinence after cystectomy and orthotopic bladder substitution in women. We discuss the efficacy of collagen injection, specific complications and subsequent definitive therapy. MATERIALS AND methods: We performed cystectomy and orthotopic bladder substitution in 2 women for muscle invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. In each case new onset stress urinary incontinence developed after surgery that was refractory to conservative therapy. Intrinsic sphincter deficiency was diagnosed in each patient by video urodynamic studies. Initial treatment involved transurethral collagen injections but subsequent intervention was required due to resultant complications and primary therapy inefficacy. RESULTS: collagen (3.5 cc per session) was injected in 1 case at 2 treatment sessions and in the other at 3. Incontinence symptoms did not significantly improve in either patient and a new onset vesicovaginal fistula developed 2 days and 1 month after collagen injection, respectively. Subsequently in each case 1-stage transvaginal primary fistula repair was done in multiple layers with a pubovaginal sling procedure. Six months after repair there has been no recurrent fistula and the women remain hypercontinent, requiring intermittent self-catheterization. They are satisfied with their eventual lower tract function and overall outcome. CONCLUSIONS: collagen injection for type 3 stress urinary incontinence after cystectomy and orthotopic bladder replacement in women may not be as effective and innocuous as in patients with a native bladder. Initial treatment with a pubovaginal sling procedure should be considered.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = urinary incontinence, incontinence, urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/153. urinary tract injuries during advanced gynecologic laparoscopy.urinary tract injuries are important complications of laparoscopic surgery. The intraoperative diagnosis may be delayed, resulting in severe clinical complications, such as fistulas, in the immediate and late postoperative periods. A review of 776 endoscopic procedures revealed 6 urinary tract injuries and postoperative complications during laparoscopy. We believe that surgical experience, intraoperative diagnosis, immediate repair of the lesion, and close follow-up are the main factors contributing to decreased morbidity associated with these injuries.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0010494075726076keywords = urinary (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/153. Vaginal pain caused by laparoscopic colposuspension with tacks.BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic colposuspension is a popular surgical procedure for stress incontinence. To simplify the laparoscopic approach, many physicians have replaced laparoscopic suturing with mesh, secured with staples or tacks. CASES: Two women developed severe, shooting vaginal pain after laparoscopic colposuspension with mesh and tacks. The tacks could be palpated vaginally in both, reproducing the pain. Tack removal relieved their pain, but one had recurrent cystocele. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic colposuspension with tacks might produce shooting vaginal pain, possibly unique to tacks versus staples or sutures.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14967999298931keywords = incontinence (Clic here for more details about this article) |
