Laparoscopic correction of stress urinary incontinence

摘要

The laparoscopic correction of stress urinary incontinence continues to be evaluated. Early results have been encouraging with curesol;dry rates equivalent to those with traditional suspensions, but with shorter hospitalization and no significant morbidity. The approach continues to take longer in the operating room than traditional suspensions, although new innovations and refinements have shortened the time. We are still lacking longdash;term outcome data and welldash;constructed prospective randomized trials. Cost effectiveness studies are also not consistent.
