Methods |
RCT comparing laparoscopic transperitoneal with extraperitoneal colposuspension, using Gore‐Tex sutures or Mesh + staples 2‐12/12 F/U |
Participants |
22 women with recurrent urinary stress incontinence grade 2‐3, all had prior hysterectomy and at least 1 additional gynae operation Inclusion criteria: flat passive urethral pressure profile (low maximum urethral closure pressure), hypotonic urethra, motoric/sensoric urge component Exclusion criteria: cysto‐ and rectocele or prolapse |
Interventions |
Group 1 (n = ?): transperitoneal approach Group 2 (n = ?): extraperitoneal approach Using paraurethral Gore‐Tex suture or Mesh stapler fixation All had cystoscopy to exclude bladder lesion and suprapubic catheter for drainage and residuals |
Outcomes |
Duration of surgery, post‐op bleeding, voiding difficulties, complications Subjective evaluation, urodynamics, post‐op clinical findings, perineal US for control of anatomic correction of bladder neck descent |
Notes |
Adverse events: 1 bladder lesion, 1 detrusor instability, 1 transient urinary retention 18 participants (92%) subjectively and objectively cured, 1 no improvement, 1 failure Groups too small, F/U too short |
