Intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) : an ambulatory surgical procedure for treatment of female urinary incontinence
Ulf Ulmsten,Peter Petros +1 more
TL;DR: A new ambulatory procedure for treatment of female urinary incontinence (intravaginal slingplasty, IVS), which aims at restoration of the pubourethral ligament and the suburethral vaginal hammock, was performed on 50 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integral theory of female urinary incontinence. Experimental and clinical considerations.
Peter Petros,Ulf Ulmsten +1 more
TL;DR: The complex interplay of the specific structures involved in female urinary continence are analyzed and the effects of age, hormones, and iatrogenically induced scar tissue on these structures are discussed specifically with regard to understanding the proper basis for treatment of urinary incontinence.
Journal Article
An integral theory and its method for the diagnosis and management of female urinary incontinence.
Peter Petros,Ulf Ulmsten +1 more
TL;DR: A new anatomical classification of female urinary incontinence can be made, consisting of six specific anatomical defects, characteristic clinical, morphological and urodynamic changes which help to diagnose a particular defect are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vault Prolapse II: Restoration of Dynamic Vaginal Supports by Infracoccygeal Sacropexy, an Axial Day-Case Vaginal Procedure
TL;DR: Inracoccygeal sacropexy is a promising day-case alternative to conventional methods as it has built-in safety, as it avoids pudendal nerves and vessels and surface rectal veins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urethral pressure increase on effort originates from within the urethra, and continence from musculovaginal closure
Peter Petros,Ulf Ulmsten +1 more
TL;DR: Pressure transmission was measured during the Intravaginal Slingplasty procedure, a surgical operation used for treatment of urinary incontinence and performed under local anaesthesia, and significantly higher pressure readings were found inside the urethra, indicating that an active component within the Urethra may have created this pressure rise.
