Female SUI: Full-length MUS, PVS – Summary
Christopher E. Wolter, MD, focuses on advancements in the surgical management of female stress urinary incontinence, emphasizing the evolving role of different sling techniques. In this 11-minute presentation, Wolter highlights midurethral slings (MUS), specifically retropubic slings, widely accepted as the gold standard.
The discussion includes photographic, ultrasound, and drawn images to illustrate correct sling placement. Wolter also discusses patient selection criteria for different sling options. He notes that addressing the stress component first often helps alleviate urgency; however, data suggests that urgency symptoms resolve in 66% of cases when treated with mid-urethral slings. Finally, Wolter acknowledges the importance of patient counseling and education, to assure sling success.
