Erbium:YAG laser treatment of female stress urinary incontinence: midterm data.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS:Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is treated using intravaginal laser therapy. We wanted to find out how incontinence severity at baseline and the number of laser interventions affect success rate, and whether the effect of laser therapy was obvious 6 months and 2 years after the last laser intervention. METHODS:Fifty-nine women, 32 with SUI I, 16 with SUI II, and 11 with SUI III were treated using an erbium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser following the IncontiLase® protocol. Therapy included five laser sessions with a 1-month interval between sessions. Objective (1-h pad test) and subjective data (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form [ICIQ-UI SF], Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire [PISQ-12]) were assessed at baseline, after two and four laser sessions and 6 months and 2 years after the fifth laser session. RESULTS:Objective cure/improve rates for mild SUI I were 69%, 78%, 91%, and 78% after two, four, and five laser sessions at the 6-month and 2-year follow-ups. Subjective cure rates (ICIQ-UI SF) were 53%, 69%, 72%, and 66%, and sexual function (PISQ-12) also improved. For SUI II, objective cure/improve rates were 31%, 63%, 69%, and 50%. Subjective cure rate was 13% at the 2-year follow-up. For SUI III, only one patient had an objective improvement after two and four laser sessions. CONCLUSIONS:Intravaginal laser therapy led to cure/improvement for SUI I and SUI II, but not for severe SUI III. Outcome was better after four to five laser sessions than after two laser sessions. Follow-up data 6 months and 2 years after laser intervention showed sustainability of the treatment.
