Embodiment

[0078] A total of 107 consecutive patients were treated with the above surgical procedures. The operations were performed under spinal anesthesia in 82 cases, general anesthesia in 24 cases and local anesthesia in 1 case.

[0079] The mean age of the patients was 62±12.6 years (median=62, range 29-88), and the mean parity status was 2.54±1.7 (median=2.5, range 0-9). Seventeen patients (15.9%) had undergone surgery for incontinence and / or vaginal prolapse.

[0080] Detailed medical history, physical examination, endoscopic evaluation, and dysuria test demonstrated that most patients (n=74; 69.2%) had typical SUI symptoms. Ulmsten's test was positive in every case. Other patients (n=33; 30.8%) had corresponding pelvic organ prolapse. In this group, 45.4% of patients had true SUI and 54.6% had latent SUI.

[0081] All patients were followed up once a month after surgery, and detailed interviews, clinic examinations, urine analysis, and postvoid residue determination were perf...

Abstract

A new, quick, simple, efficient, safe, and reproducible surgical technique for the treatment of female urinary incontinence, in which the posterior urethra is suspended using a tape passed through the obturator orifices from inside (underneath the urethra) to outside (thigh folds). A variety of specifically designed surgical instruments are utilized to perform this operative procedure.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a method and surgical instrument for treating female urinary incontinence. field of invention [0002] A novel, fast, simple, effective, safe and reproducible surgical technique for the treatment of female tension urinary incontinence in which the posterior urethra is covered from the inside (below the urethra) to the outside (the inguinal fold) with a band passed through the obturator brace up. A variety of specially designed surgical instruments are used to accomplish this procedure. Background of the invention [0003] Over the past few decades, the understanding of the pathophysiological basis of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has been improving, and the application of this finding has led to the development of various surgical techniques for the treatment of this disorder. Of these, the retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) is perhaps the most revolutionary. This demonstrates that retropubic TVT stabilizes the middle uret...
