Demirtaş Erciyes-Mid urethral fibrin fixation technique (DE-MUFFT) for female stress urinary incontinence: A case series

Year 2021, Volume: 38 Issue: 4, 696 - 699, 09.10.2021

Abstract

Factors including suburethral blood flow impairment, collagen deficiency, and the lack of tissue healing factors are known to play a role in stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Autologous fibrin (AF) appears to be a viable material for the treatment of SUI. The aim of this study was to present the initial clinical outcomes of a novel technique named “XXX-Mid Urethral Fibrin Fixation Technique (DE-MUFFT)” that involved the placement of AF material in the suburethral space instead of sling material (mesh). In this study, the clinical outcomes of five women with pure SUI who underwent the placement of AF material in the suburethral space were examined retrospectively. The complaint of urine leakage during physical exertion and patients’ quality of life were assessed using Incontinence Quality of Life Scale (I-QoL), International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF), Incontinence Impact Questıonnaire (IIQ-7), and 24-h pad test. Patient outcomes were evaluated preoperatively, at sixth week and third month postoperatively. Significant improvement was obtained in the quality of life tests and 24-h pad test. In all patients, the complaint of urine leakage disappeared almost completely. No adverse event or postoperative complication occurred in any of the patients. These results indicated that DE-MUFFT can be a promising procedure in the treatment of SUI due to its biocompatibility, minimally invasive nature, re-applicability, and cost-effectivity.
