ABSTRACT
Objetivos: Determinar la tasa de curación objetiva/subjetiva y complicaciones del tratamiento de incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo con banda suburetral transobutadora y single-incision sling. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de pacientes operadas de incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo (hipermovilidad uretral) con banda suburetral transobturadora (n: 37) y single-incision sling (n: 44) entre enero-2012 y enero-2015. Si se asociaba corrección de prolapso de órganos pélvicos, se colocaba banda transobturadora (TVT-O/ TOT) con internación. Si no precisaba corregir prolapso, se insertaba single-incision sling ambulatoriamente. Las evaluaciones fueron al mes, 6 meses y 1 año. El contacto a 2 años fue telefónico. De 37 bandas transobturadoras completaron seguimiento 35 a 1 año y 26 a 2 años. De 44 single-incision sling, completaron seguimiento 42 a 1 año y 19 a 2 años. Resultados: La edad media para transobturadoras fue superior: 65±9,7 vs 58,2±11,3 (p=0,005). Transobturadoras demostraron más prolapso asociado: 87,8% vs 63,3% (p=0,042) y mayor tiempo quirúrgico (minutos): 81,07±31,27 vs 36,79±11,09 (p=0,000). Hubo mayor morbilidad en transobturadoras, sin diferencias significativas. La continencia al año fue: 80% transobturadoras vs 83% single-incision sling (p=0,706) y a 2 años: 84% vs 79% (p=0,623). Se encontraban satisfechas al año: 80% transobutradoras vs 85,7% single-incision sling (p=0,586) y a 2 años: 88,5% vs 78,9% (p=0,512). Conclusiones: Single-incision sling presentan tasas de éxito y satisfacción similares a bandas transobturadoras, con menor morbilidad, coste y tiempo operatorio, pudiendo ser de primera elección cuando no exista prolapso sintomático asociado.
Objectives: To determine objective and subjective cure rate and complications of stress urinary incontinence treatment with transobturator tape and single-incision sling. Methods: We performed a retrospective study including patients diagnosed of stress urinary incontinence, treated surgically either with transobturator tape (n: 37) or with single-incision sling (n: 44), between January 2012 and January 2015. If pelvic organ prolapse was associated, transobturator route was preferred requiring patient hospitalization. If this correction was not needed, we performed single-incision sling, as an ambulatory procedure. Follow up visits were scheduled at 1, 6, 12 months after surgery and a telephone interview at 24 months. Results: Mean age was higher in transobturator group: 65±9.7 vs 58.2±11.3 (p=0.005). A statistically significant difference between the two groups was found in operating time (minutes): 81.07±31.27 vs 36.79±1.09 (p=0.000) and pelvic prolapse associated: 87.8% vs 63.3% (p=0.042). Morbidity rate was higher in the transobturator group, but without significance. After 1 year follow-up, there were no significant differences between the transobturator and the single-incision groups regarding continence (80% vs 83%; p=0.706) and satisfaction (80% vs 85.7%; p=0.586). We found similar results at 24 months telephonic interview. Conclusions: Single-incision slings are comparable to transobturator tapes in 12 and 24 months success rates and satisfaction, with significantly less morbidity, costs and operating time, becoming first line option when no pelvic prolapse is associated.

La enuresis es una patología frecuente en pediatría, con potencial impacto en la calidad de vida del niño y sus padres. En Chile no existe literatura respecto al potencial efecto de esta patología en la dinámica familiar. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estimar la frecuencia de enuresis en una población de nivel socioeconómico medio-alto y describir los factores de riesgo familiares asociados y grado de preocupación de los padres respecto al tema. Método. Entre 2010 y 2011 se aplicó una encuesta voluntaria a los padres de pacientes atendidos ambulatoriamente en Clínica Las Condes. Se registraron los antecedentes de enuresis de los padres, número y edad de los hijos, número de hijos con enuresis, preocupación de los padres al respecto. Resultados. Se analizaron 334 familiares, que correspondieron a 499 niños mayores de cinco años, de los cuales 91 (18,2%) presentaron enuresis. El 57% de los pacientes con enuresis tenía antecedentes familiares, 58% correspondía al padre, 36% a la madre y 6% a ambos padres. El 51% de los padres reveló preocupación por este hecho. El grupo etario más afectado correspondió a niños de entre cinco y nueve años con un 38,8% de frecuencia, porcentaje bastante mayor al señalado por la literatura. Respecto a la herencia, un 57% tenía antecedentes familiares de padre y/o madre con enuresis.
Enuresis is a common condition in children, with potential impact on quality of life of children and their parents. In our country there is no literature on the potential impact of this disease on family dynamics. The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of bedwetting in a population of middle-high socioeconomic level and describe the risk factors associated, family and degree of parental concern regarding the issue. Method: between 2010 and 2011 were surveyed parents of voluntary outpatients seen at Clinica Las Condes. We recorded the history of bedwetting parents, number and age of children, number of children with enuresis, parental concern about it. Results: We analyzed 334 families, which corresponded to 499 children over five years old., Ninety one (18.2%) had enuresis. 57% of patients with enuresis had a family history, 58% belonged to the father, the mother 36% and 6% both parents. 51% of parents showed concern about this. The most affected age group accounted for children between 5 and 9 years with a 38.8% rate, far higher percentage than that reported by the literature. Regarding inheritance, 57% had a family history of father and/or mother with enuresis.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the results of home exercise targeting the pelvic floor in continent women one year after the end of a physical therapy treatment for the following outcomes: functional assessment of the pelvic floor and urinary incontinence. METHODS: This is an observational study that evaluated fifteen women one year after physical therapy treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). The outcomes for this study were: situations of urinary loss, use of daily protection, practice of home exercises for the pelvic floor, functional assessment of the pelvic floor (FAPF) and patient satisfaction. We also investigated some confounding variables such as hormonal status, number of vaginal deliveries and previous history of episiotomy. RESULTS: One year after completion of physical therapy treatment, we observed that the FAPF median remained stable over time (Median=5, p=0.08). The presence of urinary incontinence was reported by 40 percent of women in the sample, however, was characterized as mild (i.e. not requiring the use of daily protection). There was also a significant association (p=0.001) between the completion of home exercises (twice or more per week) and the normal clinical status. Confounding variables, which could compromise the clinical status, showed no significant association with the outcomes (p≥0.05). CONCLUSION: Home exercises contributed to the maintenance of continence following a physical therapy treatment.
OBJETIVOS: Descrever os resultados da prática de exercícios domicilares para o assoalho pélvico em mulheres continentes nos quesitos avaliação funcional do assoalho pélvico (AFA) e presença de incontinência urinária após um ano de tratamento fisioterapêutico. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional com 15 mulheres um ano após o tratamento fisioterapêutico para incontinência urinária de esforço (IUE). As variáveis analisadas neste estudo foram: situações de perda urinária, utilização de proteção diária, manutenção dos exercícios domiciliares para o assoalho pélvico, AFA e satisfação da paciente em relação ao tratamento. Também foram investigadas algumas variáveis de confusão, como: estado hormonal, número de partos vaginais e realização de episiotomia. RESULTADOS: Após um ano do término do tratamento fisioterapêutico, observou-se que a AFA manteve-se (Md=5; p=0,08). Quanto à presença de perda urinária, 40 por cento da amostra relatou ser leve, não sendo necessária a utilização de protetores diários. Observou-se também associação significante (p=0,001) entre a prática de exercícios domiciliares e o quadro clínico normal. As variáveis de confusão, que poderiam comprometer o quadro clínico, não apresentaram associação significativa (p≥0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A realização dos exercícios domiciliares sugeridos demonstra ser uma variável importante na manutenção da continência urinária ao final do tratamento fisioterapêutico.
