Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecologic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence affects a significant number of women, impacting quality of life.
  • Surgical interventions aim to restore bladder support and function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of extraperitoneal retropubic bladder suspension using balloon distention and mesh.
  • To assess patient outcomes and satisfaction following the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • An observational study involving 300 women with urinary incontinence.
  • Procedure: Extraperitoneal retropubic bladder neck suspension with mesh, utilizing balloon distention of the space of Retzius.
  • Anesthesia: General in 54% and epidural in 46% of patients.

Main Results:

  • 259 laparoscopic urethropexies were completed after 8 conversions to open surgery.
  • Spontaneous voiding resumed within 24 hours in 90.4% of patients.
  • At a mean follow-up of 3.28 years (1.5-5.5 years), 67% reported cure, 24.5% were satisfied, and 8.5% were failures.

Conclusions:

  • Extraperitoneal retropubic bladder neck suspension with mesh provides a durable and effective treatment for urinary incontinence.
  • The procedure is associated with short operating times, low morbidity, and high patient satisfaction.
