Peri‐urethral silicone microimplants (Macroplastique ) for the treatment of genuine stress incontinence

Abstract: Objective To establish the safety and efficacy of the peri-alternative treatment with a Stamey bladder neck suspension. Dysuria for 48 h occurred in almost all urethral injection of silicone microimplants (Macroplastique@ ) for the treatment of genuine stress patients; two were catheterized overnight and one required a catheter for 6 weeks. A comparison of incontinence in women. Patients and methods Forty women (median age 50 maximum voiding pressures and flow rates before and 3 months after a single injection… Show more

“…21 ± 23 But these complications were related to the liquid form of silicone, which had leaked from the implant. 24 Macroplastique 1 is an elastomer composed of solid particles and is more inert than silicone gel, causing a mild acute in¯ammatory reaction that decreases 2 ± 4 weeks after injection. 25 There is no convincing evidence that such elastomers are associated with connective tissue disease.…”

“…Follow-up of the treated patients was limited to 24 months and the cystogram was generally performed three months after the last injection (29). Although there is a paucity of long term follow-up data for STING, cures after Macroplastique injection for urinary incontinence have been documented for up to three years postinjection (30,31). Just as with any other biomaterial, safety concerns exist for Macroplastique.…”
