Er:YAG laser in hysterectomized women with stress urinary incontinence: a VELA retrospective cohort, non-inferiority study.

To test whether the erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) SMOOTH laser treatment efficacy on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in hysterectomized patients is non-inferior to its efficacy in non-hysterectomized patients. In this real-world, retrospective cohort study performed in Turkey, Croatia and Italy, we enrolled a consecutive sample of 35 hysterectomized and 34 non-hysterectomized patients with SUI. We used the Er:YAG SMOOTH laser (Fotona, Slovenia) with a wave length of 2940 nm.

Baseline ICIQ-UI score, body mass index, age, average birth weight, and perineometry duration as promising predictors of the short-term efficacy of Er:YAG laser treatment in stress urinary incontinent women: A prospective cohort study.

Background And Objective: A growing body of evidence indicates that a non-invasive erbium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser may be an effective and highly tolerable treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. The primary objective was to identify pre-intervention predictors of short-term Er:YAG outcomes. The secondary objective was to identify patient segments with the best Er:YAG laser treatment short-term outcomes.

Minimally invasive, non-ablative Er:YAG laser treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women--a pilot study.

The study presents an assessment of mechanism of action and a pilot clinical study of efficacy and safety of the Er:YAG laser for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The subject of this study is a treatment of SUI with a 2940 nm Er:YAG laser, operating in a special SMOOTH mode designed to increase temperature of the vaginal mucosa up to maximally 60-65 °C without ablating the epidermis. Numerical modelling of the temperature distribution within mucosa tissue following an irradiation with the SMOOTH mode Er:YAG laser was performed in order to determine the appropriate range of laser parameters.

Short time efficacy and safety of focused monopolar radiofrequency device for labial laxity improvement-noninvasive labia tissue tightening. A prospective cohort study.

Background And Objective: To evaluate safety and efficacy of focused monopolar radio frequency (RF) device for non-invasive labia tissue tightening and improvement of labial laxity.

Methods: This prospective cohort study participants were 17 female subjects aged between 27 and 56 years with lax skin at the labia area. All subjects received four consecutive treatments at 7-day intervals with RF device (Exilis Protege IntimaR, BTL Industries Inc.

Pentalogy of Cantrell with Unilateral Kidney Evisceration: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Pentalogy of Cantrell (PC) is a congenital malformation syndrome characterized by midline thoracoabdominal wall defect resulting from defective development in the septum transversum. Major hallmarks of this rare anomaly are omphalocele and ectopic heart. In most cases, the diagnosis is made by two-dimensional ultrasound in second trimester.
