“…For this reason, SUI is considered the involuntary loss of urine when physical movement or activity—such as coughing, sneezing, running or heavy lifting—puts pressure (stress) on the bladder. This condition can be further divided into three severity levels: (i) weak SUI; (ii) moderate SUI; and (iii) severe SUI . Such pathology classifications are useful for physicians to choose the most appropriate therapeutic solution to be applied, among conservative management, minimally invasive surgical management and invasive surgical management.…”

Urinary incontinence affects more than 300 million people worldwide. The implantation of a medical device called an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is the gold standard treatment when conservative and minimally invasive therapies fail. In this article, the AUSs (extra-urethral and endo-urethral sphincters) available on the market, both presented at the research level and filed as patents, are reviewed. The ability of the different solutions to effectively replace the natural sphincter are discussed, together with advantages and some possible side effects, such as tissue atrophy, overall invasiveness of the implant, and so forth. Finally, future research priorities are discussed for both endo-urethral and extra-urethral approaches considering key engineering aspects, such as materials, compression and closure mechanisms, and implantation methods, with the long-term aim of developing an effective, reliable, durable, and minimally invasive AUS capable of restoring a normal quality of life for incontinent patients.

“…There exists a wide range of treatment options to treat UI from surgical interventions to conservative modalities. Current guidelines recommend conservative management that is defined as interventions that do not involve treatment with drugs or surgery targeted to the type of incontinence [23,31], as the first-line therapy in UI [13,31,32]. Therefore, there is an option for conservative management, and physiotherapy, particularly for women who have not completed their childbearing and for those with mild symptoms [33].…”

“…As mentioned above, PFMT commonly recommended and used for the treatment for SUI or MUI especially with SUI symptoms [44,48,49] and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) [50], as the first choice of treatment for SUI/MUI [38]. Less commonly, it is used for the treatment of UUI [32,39,48,49].…”

Synopsis in the Management of Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is a complex and serious condition that can affect all age groups around the world. It is not only a serious medical condition but also an undeniable psychosocial problem creating embarrassment and negative self-perception, and it has a severe impact on a patient's quality of life. Today, there are wide different treatment options in urinary incontinence from surgery to conservative modalities. Among these, conservative management approaches are recommended as the first-line treatment to manage with urinary incontinence. The choice of the most suitable option to treat for urinary incontinence differs according to the underlying pathophysiological mechanism defining subtypes of urinary incontinence and severity of symptoms. In this chapter, we addressed the different components of physiotherapy management of urinary incontinence, including pelvic floor muscle training, electrical stimulation, biofeedback, vaginal cones, mechanical devices and magnetic stimulation. We concluded that the optimal physiotherapy care should be individualised to ensure applicability the clinic setting for each patient.
