What is The Use of Implants in the Treatment of Female Urinary Incontinence about?

The introduction of surgical/tape implants into clinical practice has entirely changed the approach to treating stress incontinence. Complicated surgeries, which formerly required prolonged periods of hospitalization – usually for a week – can now, pretty much, be performed as outpatient surgeries. Besides, it’s noteworthy to say that applying such methods has resulted in greater success, in contrast to the traditional approaches (e.g., Colpopexis sec. Burch). Today, the implantation of tensionfree, subutheral tapes is considered the gold standard in solving the stress incontinence. The theoretical basis for a wide-scale implementation of implants in practice has been summarized by the Integral Theory, initially published in 1990 by its authors, Professor Petros and Professor Ulmsten. The Integral Theory regards the urinary incontinence, along with most of the chronic dysfunctions of pelvic floor in healthy females who are otherwise healthy, as symptoms caused by morphologically defective structures of pelvic floor. It emphasizes the vital impact of the damaged connective tissue when such dysfunctions develop and substitutes the damaged connective tissue with a mesh implant. Accord
