Incisionless cystourethropexy--the Intac device--an initial experience

Our aim was to evaluate a new minimally invasive device for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence in women by both objective and subjective measures of outcome. Fifteen women with Type I or Type II urinary stress incontinence were treated with a new per vaginal bone anchor device designed to fix periurethral tissues to the pubic bone. No patients had significant operative morbidity. After 6-13 months a follow-up questionnaire and repeat urodynamic testing was performed for all the women. Subjectively 73% of patients had improvement in symptoms and on urodynamic testing 53% of patients were cured.
