Brief summary
To evaluate the outcome of autologous transobturator fascia lata sling for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence at Al-Azhar university hospitals.
Detailed description
Following induction of anesthesia and administration of perioperative antibiotics, the patient is positioned in the dorsal lithotomy position, sterilization and draping will be done. A sterile 16 French Foley catheter is placed to drain the bladder, following this, injectable normal saline is utilized using 10 cc syringe for hydro-distention of the anterior vaginal wall, and a midline incision is made based on the mid-urethra. Dissection is carried out bilaterally to the obturator Foramen on both sides. Through incision in the lower lateral aspect of the thigh, 4 cm above the knee, \ 1 cm× \ 5 cm fascial strip is isolated from the fascia lata. Two stay sutures are secured to the corners of the fascial segment on each side. About 1cm skin incision is performed at the thigh fold on each side. Next, two separate trocar passages are performed on each side using a reusable C-shaped trocar, with care taken to ensure at least a 1 cm tissue bridge in the obturator membrane between the superior and inferior passes. Following this, the stay sutures are tied external to the obturator membrane on both sides, leaving the sling secured and flush with the mid-urethra. Sutures are also placed to secure the sling to the periurethral tissue to prevent rolling or migration of the fascial strip.
