Stress urinary incontinence

Interventions

The pre therapy evaluation includes: clinical evaluation, general and gynecological physical examination, performance of pad test and urodynamic study, and completion of voiding diary and quality of l
or adipose tissue biopsy of the abdominal wall (20 ml) with general anesthesia in a hospital environment
on a single occasion. 60 women with stress urinary incontinence will be divided into 3 groups and will receive cell therapy through periurethral injection of single-dose of stem cells derived from ad
MDSC: 10 million stem cells derived from skeletal muscle Group 2- n: 20
BMSC: 10 million stem cells derived from bone marrow Group 3- n: 20
ADSC: 10 million stem cells derived from adipose tissue Participants will be evaluated 7-15 days after the biopsy
7-10 days after cell therapy, and then at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months post treatment. A clinical examination, an absorbent test and a quality of life questionnaire will be performed at 3, 6 and 1

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria Patients with prolapse of anterior or uterine vaginal wall greater than stage 2 POP-Q; Patients submitted to surgical procedures to repair previous SUI; Patients with genital malformations that make it impossible to inject at the site of middle third of the urethra; Patients submitted to previous pelvic radiotherapy; Patients who during clinical evaluation or urodynamics present other diagnoses that not only SUI; Patients who did not agree to participate in the study at any stage or the ones who are not able to read, write and understand the study; Patients <18 years of age.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate women after cell therapy using objective parameters for urinary losses: Cough test, pad test and Valsalva leak point pressure through urodynamic study.;The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of the therapy with periurethral injection of MDSC, BMSC and ADSC in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate after cell therapy using subjective parameters through the application of a specific quality of life questionnaire for SUI (I-Qol).
