Authors' objectives:
This study aims to assess the current evidence on intramural urethral bulking procedures for stress urinary incontinence in women.
Authors' recommendations:
1.1 Current evidence on the safety and short-term efficacy of intramural urethral bulking procedures for stress urinary incontinence is adequate to support the use of these procedures provided that normal arrangements are in place for clinical governance and for audit or research.
1.2 Clinicians should ensure that patients understand that the benefits of the procedures diminish in the long term and provide them with clear written information. In addition, use of the Institute's Information for the public is recommended.
1.3 Further publication of longer-term efficacy outcomes will be useful. Clinicians should submit data to the British Association of Urological Surgeons registry (available from www.baus.org.uk), or the British Society of Urogynaecologists registry (for further information contact BSUG@rcog.org.uk).
