The was taken as geometrically linear Euler beam, considered be nonlinear. dynamic equilibrium equation structures derived using modal superposition method, D’Alembert principle Hamilton principle. nonlinear equations free vibration forced oscillation were solved by multiple-scal...

CONTEXT The synthetic, tension-free midurethral sling was introduced in the 1990s as a surgical treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Several similar products are now available. The authors generated data comparing clinical outcomes of two midurethral sling procedures. OBJECTIVE To compare clinical outcomes of two midurethral sling procedures currently used for the treat...

PURPOSE The intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) is a tension-free vaginal tape variant that uses a multi-filament polypropylene tape to support the mid urethra for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Numerous cases of defective vaginal wound healing have been described in the international urogynecological literature. We describe our experience of vaginal mesh extrusion using the IV...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the cosmetic results and recurrence of unilateral frontalis sling surgery using a silicone rod compared with autogenous fascia lata in cases of simple congenital ptosis. METHODS This is a retrospective comparative study of 59 patients who underwent a frontalis sling operation for congenital ptosis. Patients were divided into two groups according to the sling material ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine changes in the muscle tone and stiffness of the lumbar region while individuals adopted the static prone position using sling suspension. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 30 healthy women in their 20s. The muscle tone and stiffness of the upper and lower lumbar regions of the sling suspension group and a control group were measured usin...
