Fat Grafting Technique Using Autologous Adipose Tissue Lipogems in Patients Suffering From Stress...
Urinary Incontinence,StressUrinary incontinence affects more than 200 million people worldwide. In women, childbirth or menopausal aging atrophic vagina, lack of estrogen stimulation of muscular turgor of the vagina, decrease tone of the urogenital diaphragm, attenuation and weakening of the urethral sphincter all result in stress incontinence, urge incontinence and sometimes mixed incontinence respectively. The purpose of this study is to evaluate reconstructive lipoplasty with micro-fragmented autologous adipose tissue (Lipogems®) in female patients with stress urinary incontinence. This is a prospective study of 25 subjects that will be evaluated over a period of one year. The treatment consist of the injection of micro fragmented adipose tissue, previously extracted from the patient in the area of the urethral sphyncter. Patients will have follow ups at 6 months with Urodynamic studies to measure the pre-post injection differences to-date. Visual analog score questionnaire and report in subjective improvement, pad use and stress cough test will be documented at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up.

Colpopexy and Urinary Reduction Efforts (CARE) Protocol
Urinary IncontinenceStress2 morePelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles holding pelvic organs (e.g., the uterus or bladder) weaken and the organs fall or slide down into the vagina. Pelvic organ prolapse can be corrected with surgery. However, women who have this surgery may develop urinary incontinence. This study will determine how doctors can predict this problem and whether an additional surgical procedure at the time of prolapse surgery can prevent the development of urinary incontinence.
