Nowadays midurethral sling are considered as a gold standard for stress urinary incontinence [1][Fig.1]. Traditionally, this technique has been followed by hospitalization and short inpatient convalescence. From both patient and physician perspective, this technique became increasingly popular due to very high clinical effectiveness, fast recovery, no need of painful incisions or overnight hosp...

AIMS To evaluate the outcomes, complications, and quality of life of patients after a Remeex re-adjustable sling for recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD) indications. METHODS One hundred twenty-five patients with SUI were prospectively evaluated following a re-adjustable sling in a single tertiary academic Center. Patients were classified by Q...

PURPOSE Some women choose to undergo posterior colporrhaphy (PC) concurrently with procedures for SUI to regain sexual confidence and improve sexual function. We determine the effect of PC on sexual function in women requiring a midurethral sling for SUI. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 119 women were retrospectively reviewed 81 women had the midurethral sling alone (Group A), and 38 women v...

OBJECTIVE To provide general gynaecologists and urogynaecologists with clinical guidelines for the management of recurrent urinary incontinence after pelvic floor surgery. OPTIONS Evaluation includes history and physical examination, multichannel urodynamics, and possibly cystourethroscopy. Management includes conservative, pharmacological, and surgical interventions. OUTCOMES These guideli...

INTRODUCTION We face continuing challenges for the optimal form of treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Long-term outcome studies have revealed disappointing results for percutaneous needle suspensions and other sling substitutes secondary to failure due to the recurrence of urethral hypermobility or creation of urethral obstruction 1. The pubovaginal sling procedure is an establish...

Pulmonary sling is a rare congenital condition in which the left pulmonary artery arises from the right pulmonary artery forming a sling around the trachea causing tracheal compression. Many cases are associated with cardiovascular and tracheo-bronchial anomalies. When combined with complete tracheal ring, it is called "ring-sling complex". The average onset of symptoms is 2 months and about ha...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to report a case of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection after frontalis sling surgery. METHOD A 65-year-old man presented with bilateral painful, erythematous lesions in the brow and upper eyelids. He had a history of frontalis sling surgery for myopathic ptosis 2 years back and all lesions were found localized to the tract of the silicone rod used in t...

Introduction: The aim was to explore the developmental relationships between the angles of septal deviations and the degree of the mastoid pneumatization.   Materials and Methods: In total, 143 patients with a diagnosis of septal deviation who underwent septoplasty were included. The patients were divided into three groups in terms of the ...

Introduction In corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA), the presence of 2 atrioventricular nodes (twin AVNs), their Purkinje systems, and a specific conduction system (Mönckeberg sling) connecting them to each other has been demonstrated using histologic and electrophysiological techniques.. Twin AVNs can induce supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) as a preoperative, perioperative, ...
