Strides made to relieve stress urinary incontinenceDate: 12/09/2007 09:32:35

Stress urinary incontinence was yesterday dealt a blow as the Societe Generale d'Urologie in Paris hosted an array of new innovations to counter the problem.
As the most common form of the disorder in women, stress urinary incontinence inconveniences many by allowing small involuntary leaks of urine as people cough, laugh, sneeze and exercise.
Among the speakers was UK Professor Graeme Urwin, who unveiled data supporting a transobdurate approach using the Monarc sling and the MiniArc single incision variation as a means of combating the problem.
The solutions he proposed were said to be the least intrusive, with the MiniArc involving a ten-minute operation and a single incision, thus favorable to retro-pubic mid-urethral slings such as the TVT which risk bladder injury.
Stress urinary incompetence is a common problem, as abdominal pressure heightened by something like a sneeze means that for some the sphincter, guarding the bladder opening, cannot stay closed and leaks ensue.
Estimations range from 25 per cent to 33 per cent of women being affected by the problem at some point in their lives.
