Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a major health issue that affects millions of patients each year. Traditionally, surgical procedures such as slings or bladder neck suspension were the only options to treat this condition. In recent years, multiple minimally invasive options to treat SUI were introduced into the market. These include bulking agents, injection of stem cells into the rhabdosphincter, and adjustable continence therapy devices. These procedures are simple, minimally invasive, and well tolerated by patients. This article reviews the benefits, efficiency, side effects, and complications of these minimally invasive methods for treatment of SUI.
