Abstract
- Stress urinary incontinence is mainly treated by major surgical procedures. Bolstering the urethra with injectable compound is an attractive, although not new, procedure for stress urinary incontinence. Recently it has been popularized to use the autologous fat for injection. A total of 6 women with stress urinary incontinence underwent periurethral injection of autologous fat. Patients' age ranged from 41 to 69 years( mean 55.8). The fat was harvested from the low abdominal wall by liposuction unit. Follow up was 2 to 10 months( mean 6.8). of the patients, 5(83%) are cured, 1 is improved significantly( from Grade III to I). We conclude that the periurethral autologous fat injection is a reliable, safe, low-cost, and high benefit procedure.
