A new titanium-covered transobturator tape for surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To assess the long-term satisfaction, cure rate and safety of a new titanium-covered transobturator tape compared to polypropylene tape for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Methods: A prospective study was conducted with 151 patients. Seventy patients underwent transobturator sling surgery with titanium tape from 2011 to 2019, and a historical control group (CG) of 81 patients was treated with a noncoated tape and underwent incontinence surgery from 1999 to 2009.

Endometriosis and the menopause: why the question merits our full attention.

As an estrogen-dependent disease, endometriosis was thought to become less active or regress with the onset of the menopause.

Consider the Risk of Vesicouterine Fistula in the Event of Intermittent Fluid Vaginal Discharge after a Cesarean Section.

Though the number of Vesicouterine Fistulas is steadily increasing in association with the increasing number of cesarean sections, clinical presentation can be subtle and not easily identified. In this case study, we will review the presenting symptoms of this complication and suggest an updated management protocol.

Granulocytic Sarcoma Presenting as a Palpable Breast Lump.
