Brief summary
The investigators performed a prospective analysis of 450 women with stress, urge and mixed incontinence in order to assess the health-related quality of life (Contilife® questionnaire) and the objective cure rate after two months of electrical stimulation (Keat® stimulator). Management of urinary incontinence with the Keat® stimulator could given an improvement in the quality of life and a good rate of satisfaction without side effect. Objective cure is as good as subjective improvement especially in urinary stress incontinence. Keat® stimulator is a non-invasive and simple new technique that could be the bew first-line non surgical treatment for female urinary incontinence.
