Conference Presentation Abstracts

Introduction: Incontinence remains a side effect from robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RAP) for prostate cancer despite nerve sparing (NS) techniques. Use of growth factors and anti-inflammatory substances over neurovascular bundles is an emerging technique to enhance recovery of continence and potency. Viable cryopreserved umbilical tissue (vCUT) is FDA approved for homologous use in surgery. The objective is to determine if vCUT use in NS-RAP accelerates return to continence. Methods: Retrospective review of 176 patients who underwent NS-RAPs from October 2015 through July 2020 were identified through the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC). Return to social urinary continence (0-1 pads …

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common condition among women. Approximately 50% of them had an involuntary loss of urine at least once in their lifetime. It can be present during sexual activity, contributing to sexual dysfunction and often associated with anxiety or even depression, thus having a negative impact on the quality of life. The incidence of UI is related to the existence of predisposing factors. The best known are: age, weight, family history, race/ ethnicity, number of pregnancies and mode of birth, history of genitourinary interventions and factors related to ordinary habits: smoking, caffeine consumption, oral contraceptives. Studies on …

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Introduction: Sacral neuromodulation is a guideline-recommended therapy for treatment of urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) patients [1]. The Axonics® System is the first FDA-approved rechargeable SNM system that is qualified to delivery therapy for at least 15 years. The ARTISAN-SNM study is a prospective, pivotal study, designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Axonics System for UUI treatment. Clinical outcomes at 2 years are presented. Methods: 129 UUI participants across 19 centers in the US and Europe were implanted with the Axonics System in a single, non-staged procedure. Clinical outcomes were reported from 3-day bladder diaries, a validated quality …
