PFD Week 2016-Multicompartment Ultrasound Imaging of Midurethral Slings: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Multicompartment Ultrasound Imaging of Midurethral Slings: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses the use of multi-compartment ultrasound imaging for assessing mid-retinal slings in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). It explains that several factors can contribute to the failure of sling surgery, such as incorrect diagnosis, poor placement technique, and mesh-related problems. Multi-compartment ultrasound imaging, including transperineal and endovaginal probes, can help visualize the behavior of slings in real-time. The video demonstrates how a successful sling should dynamically compress the urethra, while failed slings may lack compression or have incorrect positioning. It emphasizes the importance of accurate sling mapping for future treatment planning. Overall, multi-compartment ultrasound imaging is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating failed sling surgeries. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
