Excerpt

I read Dr Bergstrom’s recent publication with interest and from a specifically scientific perspective. His “urethral hanging hypothesis” (UHT) [1] mimics the Integral Theory (IT) that a sound pubourethral ligament (PUL) is key to urethral closure [2]. One difference is Dr Bergstrom (without any experimental proof) proposes PUL as a fracture (his Fig. 1), whereas the IT states PUL “laxity” is due to defective collagen, proven by the application of the mid-urethral sling (MUS), which harnesses the wound reaction of an implanted tape to create new collagen to repair PUL [2]. …
