Needle Suspension of the Bladder Neck for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Abstract: We have investigated surgical results of quantitative suspension of the bladder neck for stress urinary incontinence. Three hundred ninety-four female patients suffering from stress incontinence have been operated on with Stamey's or Gittes' procedures during the past 8 years. While the bladder neck was elevated by quantifying tension of nylon threads in 84 patients, 310 patients subsequently were operated on by quantifying both tension and length of nylon loops. A follow-up period averaged 51 months for a gro… Show more

“…Titanium and its alloys have been widely used as implant materials in many applications, such as hip joints and dental implants, because of their excellent mechanical properties, high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility [1]. Hydroxyapatite (Ca 10 (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 , HAp) is the main inorganic component of bone and has excellent biocompatibility with bone.…”

“…A wide variety of titanium alloys for medical implants have been developed and used during last three decades, [1][2][3][4] and among these alloys, aϩb type titanium alloys such as Ti-6%Al-4%V or Ti-6%Al-7%Nb (chemical compositions are denoted by mass%, and the notation of % is eliminated hereafter) have been used the most widely. These alloys possess excellent mechanical properties, mechanical and thermal stability in ambient and elevated temperatures in addition to biocompatibility, and a longer history of practical use as medical implants over various b type titanium alloys.…”
