PURPOSE: We evaluated the 12-month followup outcome of the Macroplastique (Uroplasty, Minneapolis, Minnesota) implantation system for the treatment of stress urinary @entity322 caused by @entity1690 using objective and subjective measures, including quality of life impact. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 21 consecutive @entity1 with a mean age of 47.4 years and a mean body mass index of 25.65 kg./m.2 in whom @entity1690 was urodynamically diagnosed were enrolled in the study. @entity1 were preoperatively assessed by physical examination, quality of life questionnaire, Stamey grading of @entity322 , pad use, pad weight test and urodynamic testing. @entity1 underwent periurethral injection under local anesthesia with the Macroplastique implantation system. The mean volume of @entity1346 elastomers injected was 6.3 ml. RESULTS: As assessed by the King health questionnaire, @entity1 quality of life improved in all domains and in most lower urinary tract symptoms. @entity1 satisfaction and subjective surgeon evaluation were assessed by Stamey @entity322 grading. From @entity1 point of view 12 (57.1%) considered themselves cured, 4 (19%) were improved and 5 (23.8%) had failure. According to subjective surgeon grading 8 @entity1 (38.1%) were considered cured 6 (28.6%) were improved and 7 (33.3%) had failure. Pad use decreased from a mean of 4.38 to 1.29 units daily. According to the pad weight test 13 @entity1 (62%) were dry, 4 (19%) were improved and 4 (19%) had failure. Urodynamic testing demonstrated that 8 @entity1 (40%) were dry and 1 (5%) was improved. CONCLUSIONS: The Macroplastique implantation system proved to have an acceptable outcome for @entity1 and surgeon. The procedure can be done with local anesthesia and without cystoscopic guidance.
