Abstract
Dispositivo implantable destinado a corregir la incontinencia urinaria en la mujer, presentándose el dispositivo en forma de una banda, siendo la zona central de la banda de menor anchura que el resto de la banda, caracterizado porque la zona central está destinada a intercalarse entre la fascia de Halhan y las fascias perimetrales y se unta con una sustancia capaz de impedir cualquier adhesión de dichas fascias en la banda, y porque cada uno de los extremos de la banda presenta una punta afilada destinada a fijarse en la ingle, en frente del agujero obturador correspondiente.
Description
Dispositivo implantable destinado a corregir la
incontinencia urinaria.
La invención se refiere a un dispositivo
implantable destinado a corregir la incontinencia urinaria en la
mujer. Dicho dispositivo está adaptado más especialmente al
tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria de esfuerzo.
Se han propuesto ya diversos tipos de
dispositivos para tratar los fenómenos de incontinencia urinaria en
la mujer.
Por ejemplo, el documento
US-A-5 899 909 describe una banda
estrecha de longitud constante, realizada en un material del tipo
polipropileno mallado o de punto que permite asegurar en toda su
longitud la colonización fibroblástica y, en consecuencia, su
anclaje en los tejidos. Dicha banda estrecha se posiciona tras una
incisión en la pared vaginal, bajo la uretra, ascendiendo dicha
banda estrecha a cada lado de la vejiga para anclarse en la pared
abdominal.
El método de colocación de dicha banda estrecha
es relativamente delicado. En efecto, al ascender verticalmente a lo
largo de la vejiga las agujas pueden no sólo agujerear esta última,
sino sobre todo agujerear la arteria ilíaca o el intestino delgado.
Por lo tanto, es indispensable practicar una cistoscopia durante la
intervención.
El documento WO 98/35632 describe un dispositivo
en forma de una banda estrecha, habiéndose realizado el conjunto en
un material biocompatible, especialmente un material tejido, que
permite la colonización fibroblástica.
Al igual que anteriormente, cada uno de los
extremos de la banda estrecha asciende a lo largo de la vejiga para
fijarse a nivel de la pared abdominal o, más concretamente, en el
hueso del pubis, por lo que pueden aparecer los mismos
inconvenientes que anteriormente.
Uno de los objetos de la invención es la
reconstrucción artificial de la fascia pélvica mediante la
colocación de bandas estrechas destinadas a permitir el regreso, con
la mayor fidelidad posible, a la situación eficaz y natural de la
fascia endopélvica, en su papel de tapón fibroso destinado a obturar
la ranura urogenital, reposando dicha fascia a cada lado de dicha
ranura en la base de los músculos elevadores.
Otro de los objetos de la presente invención
reside en la solución a los problemas ligados a la reintervención
quirúrgica posterior a nivel de la uretra. En efecto, debido al
hecho de que las bandas estrechas propuestas en la Técnica anterior
están realizadas en toda su longitud en un material capaz de ser
colonizado por los fibroblastos, el problema de una intervención en
esta zona se plantea si la banda estrecha, debido a la colonización
fibroblástica, está anclada en la pared periuretral. La resolución
de este nuevo problema es tanto más importante cuanto que se
comprueba que el fenómeno de incontinencia urinaria puede
evolucionar hacia la colocación de un esfínter artificial. La
Técnica anterior no divulga ni sugiere dicho problema.
Además, se han descrito en la literatura
posibles fenómenos de migración del material constitutivo de la
banda, especialmente de polipropileno hacia las vísceras.
Para resolver el conjunto de dichos problemas,
el Solicitante propone un dispositivo implantable destinado a
corregir la incontinencia urinaria en la mujer.
El método de tratamiento de la incontinencia
urinaria en la mujer incluye las siguientes tres etapas:
- \bullet
- realización de una incisión parauretral media sensiblemente a nivel del tercio medio de la uretra, medido a partir del meato, de manera a permitir el paso de una banda entre la fascia de Halban y las fascias periuretrales;
- \bullet
- extensión de cada uno de los extremos libres de dicha banda a nivel de los dos agujeros obturadores del ala ilíaca y salida en la ingle en frente del agujero correspondiente, de manera a formar sensiblemente una V cuya punta pasa bajo la uretra sin modificar su posición.
Dicho de otro modo, y al contrario de las
técnicas quirúrgicas empleadas en la Técnica anterior, la banda no
asciende a lo largo de la vejiga para formar una U, encontrándose
así a proximidad de órganos vitales, sino que se separa de los
mismos para formar una V. Por lo tanto, no existe riesgo alguno de
dañar la vejiga, la arteria ilíaca o el intestino delgado. En
consecuencia, no es necesario proceder a una cistoscopia durante la
intervención.
Según la invención, con objeto de favorecer la
colocación de la banda que desempeña el papel de implante, se define
un espacio entre, por una parte, la fascia de Halban, el plano
perineal muscular y la inserción anterior del músculo puborectal y,
por otra, las fascias periuretrales.
Según una versión ventajosa de la invención, se
unta la zona central de la banda o implante, destinada a
intercalarse entre la fascia de Halban y las fascias periuretrales,
mediante una sustancia capaz de impedir cualquier adhesión de
dichas fascias en la banda.
De este modo, se evita cualquier proliferación
celular en la banda entre la pared vaginal y la pared uretral,
evitando así cualquier anclaje de la banda en dicha zona, para
permitir así una reintervención quirúrgica posterior. Además, la
colocación de dicha sustancia a nivel de la uretra permite evitar
cualquier migración de polipropileno hacia las vísceras.
El dispositivo de la invención se caracteriza
porque se presenta en forma de una banda, cuya zona central
destinada a intercalarse entre la fascia de Halban y la fascia
periuretral está untada mediante una sustancia capaz de impedir
cualquier adhesión de dichas fascias en la banda.
En un primer modo de realización, la sustancia
que impide la adhesión de las fascias en la banda es silicona.
En un segundo modo de realización, la sustancia
está constituida por factores de crecimiento de origen vegetal o
animal.
Por supuesto, se puede plantear cualquier
sustancia capaz de evitar la adhesión de las fascias en la
banda.
La impregnación de la banda mediante dicha
sustancia puede realizarse en las dos caras, y ventajosamente en una
cara.
Además, la banda está fabricada en cualquier
material, como los conocidos por el especialista en la materia, en
particular y de forma no limitativa, todos los materiales elegidos
en el grupo que incluye el polietileno y el polipropileno.
Según otra característica, cuando la banda está
realizada en polipropileno, el polipropileno es bien mallado bien en
punto, o en forma de fibras proyectadas. Sin embargo, la banda puede
fabricarse asimismo en un material absorbible.
En un modo de realización ventajoso, la zona
central de la banda es de menor anchura que el resto de la banda,
con objeto de limitar la superficie de contacto a nivel de la fascia
de Halban y la fascia periuretral.
Además, según otra característica, cada uno de
los extremos de la banda presenta una punta afilada destinada a
anclarse en la ingle, en frente del agujero obturador
correspondiente.
Según un modo de realización ventajoso, la banda
tiene una longitud igual a 60 centímetros y una anchura igual a 2,5
centímetros, y presenta una zona central de menor anchura, igual a 1
centímetro sobre una longitud igual a 3 centímetros.
Preferiblemente, la longitud de la zona central es igual a 15
mm.
La invención y las ventajas que resultan de la
misma se revelarán mejor en el siguiente ejemplo de realización, con
referencia a las figuras adjuntas.
La figura 1 es una representación esquemática de
la banda de la invención.
La figura 2 es una representación esquemática
del posicionamiento de la banda después de su colocación.
Como se muestra en la figura 1, el dispositivo
de la invención se presenta en forma de una banda (1) de longitud
igual a 60 centímetros y anchura igual a 2,5 centímetros. Dicha
banda está realizada, en toda su longitud, de fibras proyectadas de
polipropileno.
Según una característica ventajosa, la banda
presenta en su centro (2) un estrechamiento de una longitud igual a
3 centímetros y una anchura igual a 1 centímetro, habiéndose untado
este tramo por ambas caras mediante un material siliconado. Además,
cada uno de sus extremos libres (3, 4) está afilado.
La colocación del dispositivo requiere una
cirugía miniinvasiva, cuyas principales etapas se describen a
continuación.
En primer lugar, se procede a realizar una
incisión parauretral media a nivel del tercio medio de la
uretra.
A continuación, se localiza uno de los agujeros
obturadores, más concretamente la parte inferior interna por medio
de un dedo deslizado en la incisión vaginal, y se practica una
incisión en la piel perineal en frente del mismo, por lo tanto en la
ingle, de manera a practicar un orificio por el que se introduce a
continuación una aguja de Emmet. Ésta se introduce en dicha incisión
cutánea, primero perpendicularmente al perineo en alrededor de 15 mm
(travesía del músculo obturador interno justo por fuera de la rama
isquiopúbica), y se deja que la aguja describa su curva, guiada en
ello por el dedo introducido en frente del músculo obturador por la
incisión vaginal. A continuación, se pasa el extremo en punta de la
banda en el ojo de la aguja, saliendo de nuevo por dicha incisión
vaginal, y se tira en retorno a través del grosor muscular, el
elevador y el obturador interno, hasta la superficie de la piel.
A continuación, se coloca la banda entra la
fascia de Halban y las fascias periuretrales, para posicionarla de
manera que su zona central, en su caso untada de silicona, se
encuentre en frente de dichas fascias. La banda se coloca sin
tracción detrás de la uretra.
Se procede entonces a una incisión de la piel
perineal en frente del segundo agujero obturador, en el que se
introduce una aguja de EMMET. Se pasa entonces el extremo libre de
la banda en le ojo de la aguja, que se tira de regreso del mismo
modo que anteriormente.
A continuación, se selecciona la banda sobrante
a ras de la piel y se inmoviliza la piel de manera a separarla de la
banda. Finalmente, se cierra mediante un punto de hilo de rápida
absorción.
En la figura 2, se ha representado
esquemáticamente el posicionamiento en corte de la banda después de
su colocación. Como se muestra en dicha figura, una vez colocada, la
banda adopta la forma de una V cuyas ramas están muy separadas.
Además, se puede observar asimismo que, cuando
se pone en aplicación la banda de conformidad con una de las formas
ventajosas de la invención, el segmento siliconado de la banda está
posicionado entre el útero (5) y la vagina (6), mientras que sus
extremos (3, 4) están fijados a nivel de la ingle (7, 8) en frente
del agujero obturador.
Gracias a la solidez y a la textura de la banda,
la tracción puede ser fuerte sin que exista riesgo de rotura. La
banda se posiciona bajo el control de la vista, sin practicar
cistoscopia alguna. Es fundamental que no haya tracción alguna en
dicha banda, que debe ser depositada bajo la uretra sin modificar su
posición.
Se deduce de lo anterior que el método de
tratamiento de la incontinencia urinaria en la mujer de la invención
se distingue de los propuestos en el estado de la técnica por la
sencillez de la colocación de la banda, mediante el empleo de
cirugía miniinvasiva. Además, asegura una suspensión uveral
resistente a la vez que conserva cierta flexibilidad y, sobre todo
al mantener relativamente alejados de dicha banda los órganos
vitales próximos. Además, participa en la reconstrucción de la
fascia endopélvica.
