Comparative Study Clinical TrialOral and local anesthesia in the nonsurgical radiofrequency-energy treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
To demonstrate the feasibility, safety, and patient comfort associated with nonsurgical radiofrequency-energy (RF) tissue micro-remodeling in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) given oral and local anesthesia. ⋯ This pilot trial demonstrated the feasibility, safety, and patient comfort associated with performing a novel new successful technique of nonsurgical RF of the urethra for treatment of SUI, which was previously studied under IV sedation in an outpatient surgery center, on women in an office-based setting using oral plus local anesthesia.
