NCT05842005

Brief Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to report the safety and efficacy of a suture-suspended mesh-reduced sling for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

  • investigate the efficacy of this mesh-reduced suture-based surgical technique for improving SUI symptoms
  • investigate the efficacy of this mesh-reduced suture-based surgical technique on key urethral support defects observed with 3D ultrasound Participants will consent to participate following which they will complete pre-operative assessments according to our routine clinical pathway. The participant will then undergo surgery and will be followed up to 12 months post-operatively via symptom assessment and pelvic exam.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • PFDI-20 score

    Pelvic Floor Disability Index (PFDI-20) score indicating SUI symptom severity. Higher values indicate greater distress or worse outcome. The sub-scales score ranges from 0 to 100. The summary score ranges from 0 to 300.

    12 months post-op

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Complication measured by distal urethral swing angle

    12 months post-op

  • Complication measured by proximal urethral swing angle

    12 months post-op

  • Complication measured by early and remote post-operative complications

    12 months post-op

Study Arms (1)

Mesh-reduced Sling

EXPERIMENTAL

Mesh-reduced sling will improve stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms in women with SUI and normal urethral closure pressure at 2 months and 12 months after surgery.

Device: Mesh-reduced Sling

Interventions

In this proposed study, the investigators aim to evaluate the role of using a ¾ x ⅜ inch cm polypropylene mesh suspended by sutures as a mesh-reduced solution for SUI.
