Abstract
Introduction

The failure rate for anti-incontinence surgery ranges from 5% to 80%. There is not actual consensus on the use of artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) as treatment for recurrent urinary incontinence in women. Several authors have shown that AUS can be useful, if the intrinsic sphincteric deficiency is checked.

We present the first case in Spain, to our knowledge, of laparoscopic implantation of AUS as treatment for female recurrent urinary incontinence.

Material and methods

Under general anesthesia, patient was placed in supine decubitus with slight Trendelenburg, access to the vagina was verified. Through a transperitoneal pelvic laparoscopic approach, Retzius space was opened and then the laterovaginal spaces up to the endopelvic fascia. To facilitate the dissection of the bladder neck, we inserted a swab into the vagina, performing simultaneous traction and countertraction maneuvers. As an access port for the AUS, we widened the incision of the lower trocar. We adjusted the periurethral cuff and then placed the reservoir and the pump in the laterovesical space and the labia majora of the vulva, respectively. Lastly, we connected the 3 AUS elements and peritoneum was closed to isolate AUS from the intestine.

Results

The surgical time was 92min, the estimated blood loss was <100cc3 and the hospital stay was 48h. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. The AUS was activated at 6 weeks. At 24 months, patient managed the AUS adequately and total continence was achieved.

Conclusions

Laparoscopic implantation of AUS is a feasible technique. Transvaginal traction and countertraction maneuvers can prevent intraoperative lesions.

Resumen
Introducción

El fallo de la cirugía anti-incontinencia oscila entre el 5–80%. En la actualidad no existe consenso sobre el uso del esfínter urinario artificial (EUA) como tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria recidivada en la mujer. Varios autores han demostrado que el EUA es útil si se comprueba la deficiencia intrínseca del esfínter.

Presentamos, a nuestro entender, el primer caso descrito en España sobre la implantación laparoscópica de un EUA como tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria recidivada femenina.

Material y métodos

Bajo anestesia general se colocó a la paciente en decúbito supino con ligero Trendelenburg y se comprobó el acceso a la vagina. Mediante un abordaje laparoscópico pélvico transperitoneal se desarrolló el espacio de Retzius y seguidamente los espacios laterovaginales hasta la fascia endopélvica. Para facilitar la disección del cuello vesical se introdujo una torunda en la vagina, realizando maniobras simultáneas de tracción y contratracción. Como puerta de entrada para el EUA se amplió la incisión del trocar inferior. Se ajustó el manguito periuretral y seguidamente se colocan: el reservorio y la bomba en el espacio latero-vesical y el labio mayor de la vulva respectivamente. Finalmente, se conectaron los 3 elementos del EUA y se cerró el peritoneo para aislarlo del intestino.

Resultados

Tiempo operatorio: 92min. Pérdida hemática estimada<100cc3. Estancia hospitalaria: 48h. No ocurrieron complicaciones intra ni postoperatorias. El EUA se activó a las 6 semanas. A los 24 meses la paciente lo manipula adecuadamente y alcanzó continencia total.

Conclusiones

La implantación laparoscópica del EUA es una técnica factible. Las maniobras transvaginales de tracción y contratracción pueden evitar lesiones intraoperatorias.
