AUGS/IUGA Scientific Meeting 2019-Surgical Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence Following Traumatic Pelvic Injury

Surgical Management of Stress Urinary Incontinence Following Traumatic Pelvic Injury

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case of a 75-year-old female who experienced worsening urinary incontinence following pelvic trauma. It highlights the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence and genitourinary disorders following pelvic fractures, as well as the patient's history and injuries. The orthopedics initially decided not to perform pelvic fixation due to stability. The patient underwent various imaging scans and consultations, leading to the decision to proceed with surgery. The video details the surgical procedure, which involved a retropubic mesh-med urethral sling. The patient had a successful postoperative course and achieved resolution of her stress urinary incontinence. The video emphasizes the multidisciplinary approach to managing female stress urinary incontinence after pelvic trauma, including evaluating stability, assessing for acute trauma, performing cystoscopy, and individualizing surgical approaches based on the patient's injury. No credits are provided.
