[Laparoscopic surgery of stress urinary incontinence in women].
The Authors carried out a literature review on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) treatment using laparoscopy or pelvioscopy. They report their experiences in using a pubo-vaginal percutaneous colposuspension assisted by pelvioscopy. Of 22 treated patients, there was a total correction of the incontinence in 15 patients. (68.12%) with a median follow-up of 18.6 months. They report also their first experience with the Retzius plasty of Manhes by laparoscopy (3/4 patients treated are continent, 1/4 has recurrent SUI during times of stress). They conclude that laparoscopy and pelvioscopy treatment can be valid alternatives to traditional surgery if made on selected patients.
