Abstract
The submucosal implantation of 125-μm PMMA microspheres into the urethra provided a safe and persistent bulking effect in pigs. The positive results of the present study encourage additional investigation of 125-μm PMMA microspheres as a long-lasting bulking agent for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Furthermore, a newly developed urethral injection device (UroScope) proved beneficial and cost-effective to facilitate the transurethral injections of 125-μm PMMA microspheres.
