Abstract

Tegress is ethylene vinyl alcohol which is non-allergenic and permanent. The aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy, feasibility and safety of transurethral Tegress® in women with urodynamic stress incontinence in a two-centre setting. Approximately 33 female patients with urodynamic stress incontinence were prospectively included in the study. Preoperatively, the patient’s history, gynaecological examination and multichannel urodynamics were performed. On follow-up, the patient was asked to use a visual analogue scale to measure her contentness and underwent uroflowmetry and a cough test. Median follow up was 51 months. About 15 women considered themselves as completely continent, and 23 (69%) were either satisfied or very satisfied. Pad test was positive in 18 (54.5%) patients, and cough test was positive in 20 (60.6%). Patients’ satisfaction did not correlate with objective dryness. Ethylene vinyl alcohol is a bulking agent with a success rate of approximately 45% after 51 months.

Alter der Mutter beeinflusst Risiko für kongenitale Anomalie

28.05.2024 Kinder- und Jugendgynäkologie Nachrichten

Welchen Einfluss das Alter ihrer Mutter auf das Risiko hat, dass Kinder mit nicht chromosomal bedingter Malformation zur Welt kommen, hat eine ungarische Studie untersucht. Sie zeigt: Nicht nur fortgeschrittenes Alter ist riskant.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.

Mammakarzinom: Brustdichte beeinflusst rezidivfreies Überleben

26.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

Frauen, die zum Zeitpunkt der Brustkrebsdiagnose eine hohe mammografische Brustdichte aufweisen, haben ein erhöhtes Risiko für ein baldiges Rezidiv, legen neue Daten nahe.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.
