Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women with Minimally Invasive Threads Methods
Abstract:
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent condition, particularly among women, often resulting from factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and menopause. Traditional treatments, including pelvic floor exercises and medications, may not provide adequate relief for patients with moderate to severe SUI, necessitating more advanced interventions. Recent innovations, such as thread lifting techniques, have been adapted from aesthetic procedures to address pelvic floor dysfunction, offering a minimally invasive solution for SUI. This article examines the use of biodegradable PLLA/CL threads with multidirectional barbs in treating SUI. The procedure is performed in multiple stages, starting with the marking of entry points, followed by local anesthesia, insertion of barbed threads, and closure of entry points if necessary. The threads stimulate collagen production, strengthening the pelvic tissues and improving bladder control. Clinical outcomes indicate significant improvements in bladder function, increased pelvic floor strength, and enhanced quality of life for patients. Patient satisfaction is high, with minimal downtime and fewer complications compared to traditional surgeries. While thread lifting shows promising results, further research is needed to confirm its long-term eficacy. Nevertheless, this minimally invasive technique represents a valuable treatment option for women seeking relief from SUI, offering a modern alternative to more invasive procedures.
