CA 2734165

Apparatus and methods are provided for treating urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and other pelvic defects or dysfunctions, in both males and females, using one or more lateral implants to reinforce the supportive tissue of the urethra. The implants are configured to engage and pull (e.g., pull up) pelvic tissue to cause the lateral sub-urethral tissue, such as the en- dopelvic fascia, to tighten and provide slack reduction for improved support. As such, certain embodiments of the implants can be utilized to eliminate the need for mesh or other supportive structures under the urethra that is common with other incontinence slings.

Linvention concerne un appareil et des procédés pour traiter lincontinence urinaire, lincontinence fécale et dautres déficiences ou dysfonctionnements pelviens chez les hommes et chez les femmes, au moyen dun ou de plusieurs implants latéraux destinés à renforcer le tissu de support de lurètre. Les implants sont conçus pour venir en contact et tirer (par exemple, remonter) le tissu pelvien afin damener le tissu sous-urétral latéral, tel que le fascia endopélvien, à se retendre et produire une réduction lâche pour un support amélioré. En conséquence, on peut utiliser certains modes de réalisation dimplant pour éliminer le recours à un treillis ou à dautres structures de support sous lurètre, ce qui est commun avec les autres anneaux dincontinence
