Office Goal
This site is devoted to a new treatment for Urinary Incontinence in women. The treatment is done as an outpatient surgical procedure sometimes under local anesthesia. This technique and the medical device used to assist with the procedure were created and patented by Darius Samimi, M.D.,F.A.C.O.G., research-Invention, of Fountain Valley, California, USA.
* US Patent (# 6,059,801, May, 2000) for the 'Bladder Saver Retropublic Ligature Carrier Device'
Many people lose urine when they don’t want to. When this happens enough to be a problem, it is called urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is very common. But some people are too embarrassed to get help. The good news is that millions of women are being successfully treated and cured. Among women, stress urinary incontinence is the most common conditions leading to loss of bladder control.
Normally, the urethra and bladder are maintained by the pelvic floor muscles. However, if these muscles are weakened - sometimes by childbirth - the bladder neck and urethra may drop when downward pressure is applied, such as when you lift something heavy, or even when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or make a sudden movement. In this dropped position, involuntary leakage of urine may occur.
More than fifteen million women suffer from urinary incontinence each year. This is considered a social and hygienic problem. While both medication and surgical procedures have been used in the past, medication has not been sufficient to correct the problem and many surgical procedures may damage the nerves.
Our Outpatient Solution
Dr. Samimi invented and performs the outpatient Burch-Sling Procedure, a nerve sparing method for correction of female urinary incontinence. During the procedure, the bladder support system is suspended by tying it toward the Cooper ligament. Because there is no nerve damage during this procedure, results have indicated that surgery may not be needed for more than ten years.
In our outpatient suspension procedure, a suture is used to support the bladder neck. This lifts the tissues upward, returning the bladder neck to the normal position and eliminating the involuntary leakage of urine. The surgeon may choose to use a sling made of your own tissue or of synthetic suture, as an alternative. The sling acts as a hammock to support the bladder neck.
In our outpatient procedure this will be done through two small, invisible ports without having to open the patient or use laporoscopy. This technique was presented at the 1998 ACOG (annual clinical meeting) in New Orleans. It has been presented in several top universities, residency programs and hospitals around the country and received strong support. There are many documents and lecture notes included on our site, on the many activities of Dr. Samimi. We urge you read them.
