Objective: To observe the clinical significance of modified sling in the treatment of moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: From January 2016 to January 2019, eighty patients with moderate urinary incontinence who were hospitalized in our hospital were randomly divided into two groups. 40 patients in the experimental group underwent modified sling transvaginal tension-free mid-urethral suspension. Modification method of the sling: cut the sling to a remaining length of about 6~7cm, properly connect the barbed sutures (V-LOCK) on both sides of the sling, and insert the urinary incontinence sling from the urethra to the obturator membrane, from the obturator membrane to the thigh. The inner skin area is replaced by the V-LOCK line. The 40 patients in the control group were unmodified ordinary slings. The operation time, the local pain of the inner thigh after the operation, and the improvement of postoperative urinary incontinence symptoms were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results: Both groups of patients were successfully operated. The operation time was 16.36 minutes in the experimental group and 27.18 minutes in the control group. The difference in operation time between the two groups was statistically significant (p=0.00); the catheter was pulled out on the third day after the operation. One patient in the group had urinary effort, four patients still had urinary incontinence symptoms, the remaining 35 patients had good urinary control (effective rate 87.5%), five patients in the control group still had urinary incontinence, two patients had urinary effort, and the remaining 33 patients had urinary control Good, (effective rate 87.5%), there was no significant difference in surgical effectiveness between the two groups (p=0.53); follow-up for 12 to 36 months, no significant long-term complications occurred, the pain score of the inner thigh of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group ,statistically significant (p=0.04). Conclusion: The efficacy of the modified sling in the treatment of moderate SUI is the same as that of the traditional sling, but the operation time is shorter, the operation is simpler, and the local pain is significantly reduced. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.7.2619 How to cite this:Guo J, An F, Gu D, Yang W.

Objective. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training and extracorporeal magnetic innervation in treatment of urinary incontinence in women with stress urinary incontinence. Methods. The randomized controlled trial enrolled 128 women with stress urinary incontinence who were randomly allocated to either one out of two experimental groups (EG1 or EG2) or the control group (CG). Subjects in the experimental group 1 (EG1) received 12 sessions of pelvic floor muscle training, whereas subjects in the experimental group 2 (EG2) received 12 sessions of extracorporeal magnetic innervation. Subjects in the control group (CG) did not receive any therapeutic intervention. The following instruments were used to measure results in all study groups at the initial and final assessments: Revised Urinary Incontinence Scale (RUIS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ). Results. In both experimental groups, a statistically significant decline in depressive symptoms (BDI-II) and an improvement in urinary incontinence severity (RUIS) and quality of life (KHQ) were found in the following domains: “social limitations,” “emotions,” “severity measures,” and “symptom severity scale.” Moreover, self-efficacy beliefs (GSES) improved in the experimental group that received ExMI (EG2). No statistically significant differences were found between all measured variables in the control group. Comparative analysis of the three study groups showed statistically significant differences at the final assessment in the quality of life in the following domains: “physical limitations,” “social limitations,” “personal relationships,” and “emotions.” Conclusion. Pelvic floor muscle training and extracorporeal magnetic innervation proved to be effective treatment methods for stress urinary incontinence in women. The authors observed an improvement in both the physical and psychosocial aspects.

Objective. This study aimed to examine the effect of pelvic floor muscle training on the irisin (Ir) concentration in overweight or obese elderly women with stress urinary incontinence. Methods. The number of participants included in analysis was 49: 28 women in the experimental group and 21 women in the control group. The experimental group (EG) underwent pelvic floor muscle training, whereas no therapeutic intervention was applied to the control group (CG). Irisin concentration, severity of urinary incontinence (RUIS), and body mass index (BMI) were measured in all women at the initial and final assessments. Results. By comparing the initial and final assessment results we have been able to demonstrate statistically significant differences in the measured variables in the experimental group. No statistically significant differences in the measured variables were reported for the control group at the initial and final assessments. Moderate negative correlation was observed between the BMI results with the irisin concentration results in the EG at the initial assessment and no correlation at the final assessment. Weak positive correlation was observed between the BMI results with the irisin concentration in the CG at the initial and final assessment. Conclusion. Further studies are necessary to observe the regulation of irisin concentration and explain mechanisms underlying these effects.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pelvic floor muscles training in elite female volleyball athletes and whether it is an effective therapy for stress urinary incontinence. Fourteen athletes, both continent and incontinent, between 18 and 30 years of age, were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group. The experimental group received a protocol for pelvic floor muscle training for 4 months. This consisted of three phases: awareness/stabilization, strength training and power. The control group was not subject to any intervention during the same period. Measures were collected at the initial and final phase for both groups. Maximum voluntary contractions were evaluated with a perineometer, involuntary urine loss with a Pad test and quality of life with the King’s Health Questionnaire. Baseline sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics were not significantly different. Comparing the two groups, the experimental group improved maximum voluntary pelvic contractions (p<0.001) and reduced urine loss (p=0.025), indicating the existence of significant differences between groups in the variation from the initial and final phases. The percentage of urine loss decreased in the experimental group, from 71.4–42.9%, suggesting that the protocol intervention for 16 weeks may help athletes with stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction: In Poland, urinary incontinence (UI) is the ninth in frequency of reported health problem, which occurs in 15.4% of women over 60 years of age (data of the Central Statistical Office of 2016). The search for optimal treatment methods for this disease and objective methods for assessing the effectiveness of therapy is a challenge for an interdisciplinary team of specialists. The aim: To examine the effect of Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervation (ExMI) on the Irisin concentration in women with stress urinary incontinence. Materials and methods: A total of 52 women were included in the analysis: 28 participants were allocated to the experimental group (EG) and 24 to the control group (CG). EG patients completed ExMI therapy, whereas no therapeutic intervention was applied to the CG. Irisin concentration, severity of urinary incontinence (RUIS) were measured in all women at the initial and final assessments. Results: By comparing the initial and final assessment results we have been able to demonstrate a statistically significant differences in the measured variables in the EG. No statistically significant differences in the measured variables were reported for the CG at the initial and final assessments. No correlation was observed between the Irisin concentration results and severity of urinary incontinence in the EG at the final assessment. Conclusions: There is a need for further studies of biochemical parameters in the assessment of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

The Impact

The purpose of the study: clarification of absolute and relative criteria for the operative treatment of prolapse of the pelvic organs (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Patients and methods. 85 patients with POP and SUI were observed. These women were divided into groups according to the stage of POP and SUI: group 2 – 32 patients with I and II stages of POP and SUI 2a, 2b types of light and moderate severity; group 3 (main) – 53 patients with III and IV stages of POP and SUI type 3 moderate and severe severity. This group of patients subsequently undergone operative treatment according to the patent for utility model No. 109201. The main group (3rd group) included: 3a group – 28 women with III and IV stages of POP and SUI type 3 moderate and severe severity without delay in urination; 3b group – 25 women with III and IV stages of POP and SUI type 3 moderate and severe severity with delay of urination (chronic or acute). 15 women were examined without complaints, who entered the control group (1st group). Results. According to the results of the study, it was recorded that, regardless of the stage of the POP and SUI, even it’s minimal manifestation significantly reduces the quality of life of patients (by 64%) due to the impact on the physical, but greater, on the psychological components of health. Conclusion. The absolute criterion for operative treatment is a set of prolapse of the pelvic organs (POP), urinary incontinence, vesicularization of the bladder type 2a and above, an increase of the posterior urethro-vascular angle of more than 114°. Treatment of stress urinary incontinence on the background of POP should necessarily include fixation of the uterine ligaments and the Berch surgery because of significant deformation of the bladder neck. Key words: pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, methods of diagnostics.

Background This study aimed to evaluate a personalized 3D-printed percutaneous vertebroplasty positioning module and navigation template based on preoperative CT scan data that was designed to treat patients with vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis. Methods A total of 22 patients with vertebral compression fractures admitted to our hospital were included in the study. Positioning was performed with the new 3D-printed positioning module, and the navigation template was used for patients in the experimental group, and the traditional perspective method was used for patients in the control group. The experimental group consisted of 11 patients, 2 males and 9 females, with a mean age of 67.27 ± 11.86 years (range: 48 to 80 years), and the control group consisted of 11 patients, 3 males and 8 females, with a mean age of 74.27 ± 7.24 years (range: 63 to 89 years). The puncture positioning duration, number of intraoperative fluoroscopy sessions, and preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores were statistically analyzed in both groups. Results The experimental group had shorter puncture positioning durations and fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy sessions than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05). There were no significant differences in age or preoperative or postoperative VAS scores between the two groups (P > .05). Conclusions The new 3D-printed vertebroplasty positioning module and navigation template shortened the operation time and reduced the number of intraoperative fluoroscopy sessions. It also reduced the difficulty in performing percutaneous vertebroplasty and influenced the learning curve of senior doctors learning this operation to a certain degree.

IntroductionThis study is designed to assess the percentage share of musculus obliquus externus abdominis, musculus obliquus internus abdominis and musculus transversus abdominis activity among women with stress urinary incontinence using ultrasonography.Material and methodsMaterial and methods: The study is a retrospective analysis of prospective collected data of 84 women aged 23-62 years old. In the study group are women suffering from grade 1 or 2 stress urinary incontinence according to the Stamey classification, the control group consists of women with no micturition disorders. The abdominal muscles activity was measured by using the ultrasound imaging with assessment of muscle thickness.ResultsThe analysis of musculus obliquus externus abdominis in anterolateral abdominal wall activity shows a statistically significant difference between study and control group concerning isometric tension of abdominal muscles (p=0,012) and lower part of abdomen tension (p=0,004). Women with stress urinary incontinence present a higher activity of the musculus obliquus externus abdominis than controls. In the case of the musculus obliquus internus abdominis, statistically significant differences were shown during tension of the lower part of the abdomen (p=0,024). Comparison of activity of the musculus transversus abdominis between study and control groups shows a statistically significant difference during isometric tension of abdominal muscles (p=0,018).ConclusionsThe pattern of activity of the assessed muscles differs between the study group and the control group. In the study group, the activity pattern is concerning the higher activity of the musculus obliquus externus abdominis and the lower activity of the musculus obliquus internus abdominis and musculus transversus abdominis.
