Abstract
INTRODUCTION: We performed autologous rectus abdominis fascia sling surgery using Advantage™ following an unsuccessful synthetic midurethral sling. CASE PRESENTATION: At the age of 76 years, the patient experienced stress urinary incontinence recurrence. A 1-h pad test resulted in 259 g of leakage. A pressure flow study verified urine leakage while coughing and straining without detrusor overactivity. Abdominal leak point pressure was 10 cmH(2)O. Autologous rectus abdominis fascia sling surgery was performed using Advantage™. One month postoperatively, a 1-h pad test resulted in 0 g of leakage. CONCLUSION: We believe that this method will allow the fascia sling procedure to be performed reliably even if one is unfamiliar with conventional autologous rectus abdominis fascia sling surgery.
