Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

We report our experience with the Remeex system™ in women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD).

Methods

A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in women who underwent an adjustable sling procedure between 2011 and 2016. We used urodynamic studies (UDS) preoperatively and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire–Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and cough stress test (CST) pre- and postoperatively. Primary outcomes were subjective (no leakage reported by the patient) and objective (no leakage during CST) cure and improvement rates (reduction of ≥4 points in ICIQ-SF). Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed.

Results

A total of 50 patients were included. Mean age was 62 years (SD ± 11.35). Median follow-up was 19.5 months [interquartile range (IQR) 12.95–41.38]. Urinary incontinence (UI) was described as moderate and severe by 8 (16%) and 42 (84%) patients, respectively, and 25 (50%) had stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). Objective and subjective cure rates were 90% and 48%, respectively, while 82% of patients achieved improvement. Impact of UI on quality of life (QoL) improved from 10 (IQR 9–10) to 2 (IQR 0–5) (p < 0.0001). Clavien-Dindo II complications occurred in 14 (28%) patients, and one (2%) had IIIa. Tape erosion occurred in one (2%) patient, and five (10%) required readjustments. Logistic regression identified MUI [odds ratio (OR) 3.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.02–10.89] and vaginal atrophy (OR 4.2, 95% CI 1.06–16.03) as predictors of low subjective cure rate.

Conclusions

Adjustable slings represent a valuable and safe option in the management of recurrent SUI or ISD, with improvement in QoL. Results should be carefully interpreted due to our small sample and retrospective design.

Nodal-negativ nach neoadjuvanter Chemo: Axilladissektion verzichtbar?

03.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

Wenn bei Mammakarzinomen durch eine neoadjuvante Chemotherapie ein Downstaging von nodal-positiv zu nodal-negativ gelingt, scheint es auch ohne Axilladissektion nur selten zu axillären Rezidiven zu kommen.

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.
