Macroplastique for women with stress urinary incontinence secondary to intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the subjective and objective outcomes of MacroplastiqueR (MPQ) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) secondary to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Following Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, charts of non-neurogenic women with SUI secondary to ISD who underwent MPQ injection and had 6 months minimum follow-up were reviewed from a prospectively maintained database. Patients were divided into 3 groups Naive (Group I), Prior Anti-Incontinence Surgery (Group II), and combined Prior Bulking Agent and Anti-Incontinence Surgery (Group III). Data collected included SUI self-report, Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) Question 3, and VAS Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire scores at baseline and in follow-up. Three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) evaluated volume/confi guration of MPQ. Success was defi ned after the last MPQ injection as a UDI-6 Question 3 score of 0 (dry) or 1, and no reoperation for SUI. RESULTS: From 2011-2017, 106 of 142 women met study criteria. At a median follow-up of 20 months (mean=26 months; range 6-71), success rate was 41% for Group I, 40% for Group II, and 65% for Group III (p = 0.22). QoL scores were signifi cantly improved over baseline in all groups. There was no signifi cant difference in clinical outcome between the asymmetrical and symmetrical group on 3DUS. The completely dry rate was highest in Group III at 29%, compared to 4% for Group I and 15% for Group II (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION: MacroplastiqueR improved subjective and objective outcome measures for SUI secondary to ISD as both a primary and secondary treatment option in women.
