ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS:
Bulking agents are a minimally invasive treatment option for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (MUI). Recurrent SUI is a major challenge for most clinicians because there is little evidence in the literature on the best option after midurethral sling (MUS) failure.METHODS:
Bulkamid® (Contura International A/S), a urethral bulking agent, is a homogenous gel without particles, consisting of a polyacrylamide hydrogel that is nonbiodegradable.RESULTS:
In this video case report, we demonstrate the Bulkamid® injection procedure. This procedure can be carried out as an office-based procedure under local anesthesia, with no down time and only minor possible complications.CONCLUSIONS:
We consider it a valid option for patients with recurrent or persistent SUI after failed MUS surgery.Palavras-chave
