3. INCONTINENCE
The International Continence
Society (ICS) defines the
symptom of urinary incontinence
as “the complaint of any
involuntary loss of urine”

complaint of
involuntary leakage
on exertion or on
sneezing or
coughing

6. EPIDEMOLOGY OF URINARY
INCONTINENCE
• young adult life (20% to 30%)
• middle age (30% to 40%)
• elderly women (30% to 50%)
• In young and middle-aged women, stress incontinence
predominates
• and in older women mixed incontinence is most
common .
• stress incontinence is most common (49%)
• mixed incontinence (29%) and
• pure urge incontinence (21%)

7. Risk factors
• age
• parity
• route of delivery
• obesity
• pregnancy
• Menopause
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 7

8. Sphincteric Mechanism and Anatomic
Support
• the urethral sphincter is considered to be
composed of two components
• the internal sphincter which represents a
direct continuation of the detrusor smooth
muscle
• and the striated external sphincter
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 8

9. The principles underlying the function of a
sphincter are
(1) watertight apposition of the urethral lumen
(2) compression of the wall around the lumen
(3) structural support to keep the proximal urethra
from moving during increases in pressure
(4) a means of compensating for abdominal
pressure changes (pressure transmission)
(5) neural control.
Thus, normal sphincteric function is the result of an
integrated interaction among all these factors
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 9

10. DeLancey's theory of urethral support
hammock theory
Normally, with rises in intra-abdominal pressure,
the urethra is compressed against the
supporting structures, which act like a backboard
and prevent loss of urine
When the supporting structures fail, there can be
rotational descent of the bladder neck and
proximal urethra during increases in abdominal
pressure.
• If the urethra opens concomitantly, SUI ensues

12. The causes of sphincteric dysfunction in
women
• from an anatomic viewpoint, urethral
hypermobility (urethral support defect),
• functional viewpoint, intrinsic sphincteric
insufficiency (ISD).

14. INVESTIGATIONS
AIM
• To confirm symptoms
• To confirm diagnosis
• To confirm cure
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 14

15. Clinical examination
General – obesity- anemia
Local – abdominal – masses
• vaginal – descent, scarring - infection – dryness
• rectal – fecalimpaction, sphincter tone
Neurological - gentle tapping of the clitoris will produce a
reflex contraction of the anal sphincter (bulbocavernosus
reflex)
voluntary cough should cause a reflex contraction of the
anal sphincter
stroking the skin lateral to the anus contraction of the
external anal sphincter

16. Investigations
Clinical examination (general & local
examination)
urine culture, urine cytology
Clinical test
stress test

17. • To demonstrate stress incontinence the
woman should have a full bladder.
• The patient, is told to cough violently and
the escape of urine is noted – positive
stress test
• The index and middle finger of the
examiner’s hand should be inserted into
the vagina and the anterior vaginal wall
pressed against the sub-pubic angle but
without pressing on the urethra. If no leak-
stameys test positive
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 17

18. Q-tip test
• The mobility of the urethra and bladder neck can be
evaluated by inserting a sterile, lubricated, Q-tip cotton
bud into the urethra to the level of the bladder neck.
• The patient is then asked to strain.
• The angle of the Q-tip is measured relative to the
horizontal
• The resting and straining angles are measured and the
difference between the two angles is calculated.
• A change of greater than 30 degrees is thought to
represent a hypermobile urethra.

19. The voiding diary is an important tool in the
investigation of patients with lower urinary
tract symptoms and voiding dysfunction
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,

20. PAD TEST
It consists of the use of a perineal pad to document urinary
incontinence
The amount of lossis calculated by subtracting the weight of the pad
beforethe test from its weight at the end of the test.

34. Teaching pelvic floor muscle control
• The first step in training is to identify the pelvic floor
muscles properly and to contract and relax them
selectively (without increasing intra-abdominal pressure
on the bladder or pelvic floor).
• good results are generally achieved using 45–50
exercises per day
• To improve muscle strength, contractions should be
sustained for 2–10 seconds followed by 4secs rest

LAPAROSCOPIC
First described by BURSH in 1961
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 62

63. PRINCIPLE
• Bladder neck elevation increases the pressure
transmissionto over 100% to the proximal urethra
• Para vaginal tissues are elevated to the ilio pectineal
ligament-bow stringing
• Bursch colpo suspension is considered the gold
standard
Complications
Voiding dysfunction

• TRANS VAGINAL TAPE
• TRANS OBTURATOR TAPE
• TENSION FREE
• Day care procedure
• Done under local anaesthesia
• Possible to adjust the sling
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 64

65. What does 'tension-free' mean?
• a synthetic transvaginal suburethral sling is
placed through the retropubic space without
using suspension sutures.
• Scar tissue later fixes the mesh, preventing
migration.
• Because the sling is not anchored to the pubic
bone, "free of tension."
• The result is a midcomplex urethral support that
limits urethral descent, i and reinforces support
of the backboard vaginal hammock.

67. TVT & TOT
• Goal to reinforce the pubourethral ligaments, .
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 67

68. • The TVT device consists of an 11 mm wide × 40 cm long
tape of polypropylene,
• both ends attached to stainless steel, specially curved, 5
mm diameter insertion needles.
• The tape is covered by plastic sheets to protect it from
contamination and to facilitate its passage through the
tissues.
• A reusable handle fits to the needles and is used to
insert the needles.
• 18 Fr Foley catheter and helps to deflect the bladder
away from the path of needle insertion.
• The patient is placed in a lithotomy position

• two 1-cm wide suprapubic skin incisions
at the upper rim of the pubic bone, each
2–2.5 cm lateral to the midline,
• a vaginal midline incision 1.5 cm wide
starting 0.5 cm from the externalmeatus of
the urethra
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 70

71. Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 71

72. • After the vaginal incision is made, careful
minimal blunt dissection, should be undertaken
paraurethrally between the vaginal mucosa and
the pubocervical fascia to a depth of not more
than 2 cm.
• The TVT needle is placed in its starting position
within the dissected paraurethral tunnel with the
needle tip between the index finger of the
surgeon’s hand in the vagina and the lower rim
of the pubic ramus.
• With slow controlled pressure, the needle is
brought through the urogenital diaphragm, the
space of Retzius, and the rectus muscle fascia
using the skin incision as a point of direction.
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 72

73. • A, cystoscopy, is performed to confirm
bladder integrity.
• Once bladder integrity is confirmed, both
needles and the tape are brought through
and the final adjustment of the tape can
take place.
• The patient is asked to cough vigorously
while the tape is adjusted to a point when
leakage is only a drop of saline at the
urethral meatus

74. The Transobturator Sling
• In France in 2001, Delorme introduced the
transobturator sling procedure.
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 74

75. TOT Mimics Normal Anatomy
• The transobturator sling forms a
subfascial hammock of support under the
urethra.
• This mimics the normal position of the
pubourethral ligament .
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 75

76. Step 1. Small incision is made under the urethra
Step 2. Vaginal epithelium is dissected free
Step 3. Area of groin incision located 1cm inferior
to adductor longus tendinous insertion (level of
clitoris)
Step4. Finger placed in vaginal incision to guide
needle.
• Needle placed in groin incision and passed
through the obturator membrane and muscles
and brought into the vaginal incision.
Dept Of Urology, KMC and GRH,
Chennai 76

77. Step 5. The needle is brought through the vaginal incision
and the tape is attached to the needle with the connector
Step 6. Connected tape is then brought back through the
groin incision
Step 7. Needle and tape is passed on the opposite side.
• Tape is then adjusted with an intra-operative cough test
and adjusted until no leakage occurs.
• Excess mesh is cut off at the groin incisions and these
are closed with steri-strips and vaginal incision is closed
with absorbable suture
