Abstract

---

Patients with stress urinary incontinence have been selected after their clinical assessment, questionnaire and urinary voiding charts and consented to have a BNT. All patients were informed that this is a new pilot study using barb threads instead of the mesh (TVT or TOT) to treat their SUI. They were also aware of the similarity with the Pereyra procedure and its published success rates. The threads where placed in a semi sterile operating room at our center under local anesthesia as shown in the video. We chose the Bidirectional barb threads to have a better anchorage at each side of the distal urethra totally avoiding any passage under the urethral tissue therefore bypassing all complications like erosions and urinary retention. The prepubic placement avoids bladder injuries and the need for cystoscopy.
