Objectives: To analyze the types of pessaries, indications and impact in the treatment of urinary incontinence (UI). Methods: This is an integrative review with publications from 2007 to 2017 indexed in the Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online databases, Scopus Info Site, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Web of Science. Results: Eight articles were selected. The pessaries indicated were the dish, ring, Uresta®, and Contiform®. The reduction or resolution of stress UI in women was observed by analysis of objective parameters such as urodynamic evaluation and quality of life questionnaires. Economic viability was highlighted. Disability, difficulties in use, discomfort, and maintenance of urinary losses were evidenced among the reasons for non-adherence. Advanced prolapse and short vaginal length were predictive of failure. Adverse events were identified in low incidence: urinary retention and leukorrhea. Conclusion: Pessary therapy is effective in the treatment of SUI when accompanied by trained professionals. Individual characteristics and perceptions about the device are determinants of therapeutic success. Studies of greater sampling, follow-up time and quality, as well as stimulation to national publications, are necessary for the investigation of objective measures of UI, clinical and demographic factors in relation to the success of the pessary.
Objetivo: Analisar os tipos de pessários, as indicações e o impacto no tratamento da incontinência urinária (IU). Métodos: Trata-se de revisão integrativa com publicações de 2007 a 2017 indexadas nas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Scopus Info Site, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature e Web of Science. Resultados: Selecionaram-se oito artigos. Os pessários indicados foram prato, anel, Uresta® e Contiform®. A redução ou resolução da IU de esforço (IUE) em mulheres foi observada por análise de parâmetros objetivos, como avaliação urodinâmica e questionários de qualidade de vida. Destacou-se viabilidade econômica. Evidenciaram-se desajuste, dificuldades no uso, incômodo e manutenção de perdas urinárias entre os motivos de não adesão. Prolapso avançado e comprimento vaginal curto foram preditivos de insucesso. Identificaram-se eventos adversos em baixa incidência: retenção urinária e leucorreia. Conclusão: A terapia pessária é eficaz no tratamento da IUE quando acompanhada por profissionais capacitados. Características individuais e percepções sobre o dispositivo são determinantes no sucesso terapêutico. Estudos de maior amostragem, tempo de seguimento e qualidade, bem como estimulo a publicações nacionais, são necessários para investigação de medidas objetivas de IU, fatores clínicos e demográficos em relação ao sucesso do pessário.
