Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The patients with neurogenic urinary incontinence could be cured to restore their urinary storage function through the implant of the suburethral sling made of appropriate materials in a reasonable way. Meanwhile the choice of materials and the safe and effective control of tension are crucial factors. 
OBJECTIVE: To review the implanted methods, effectiveness and safety of sling made of different materials in the surgical treatment of neurogenic stress urinary incontinence.
METHODS: The PubMed database, English database, CNKI database and related English books were retrieved with computer from January 1986 to January 2012 for the articles on the urethral sling material, urethral sling placement methods, efficacy and safety. The key words were “urethral sling, neurogenic, urinary incontinence” in English and Chinese. Finally, 47 articles were included for review according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Urethral sling is a safe, handy, and micro-invasive operation, by using autologous fascia or various synthetic materials to implant into the body. The mechanism of neurogenic urinary incontinence is mainly related with the change of bladder function or the insufficiency of urethral sphincter function. However, it is still a big problem for us to assure the postoperative ability of such patients to store and control urine because of their complicated conditions.

Key words: suburethral slings, urinary incontinence, urodynamics, fascia
