Abstract
The surgical treatment of intrinsic sphincter deficiency, or Type III genuine stress urinary incontinence, has traditionally been accomplished by sling cystourethropexy, the placement of an artificial urinary sphincter, or periurethral injection, We developed a laparoscopic approach for the performance of a sling cystourethropexy as an alternative to the open approach and herein describe our experience. We have found that a laparoscopic sling cystourethropexy is feasible, but at the present time, we have been unable to demonstrate any significant advantages to the patient in terms of decreased cost or convalescence compared with the open vaginal sling cystourethropexy.
