Para-Urethral Injections with Urolastic® for Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: Subjective Improvement and Safety

Female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is often treated surgically. Urethral bulking agents are a minimally invasive alternative, especially in patients suffering from intrinsic sphincter deficiency, but often with limited long-term efficacy. Urolastic® is a non-deformable, non-resorbable silicone elastomer that is used as an injectable. Its properties might result in a more durable response after injection. If this durability factor can be combined with a low complication rate, this can become a useful treatment option. We therefore assessed the subjective improvement and safety after treatment with Urolastic®.
