Abstract

Vaginal pixelated low power and long pulses (LPLP) COThis was a prospective multicenter study. Patients with confirmed urodynamic SUI graded as mild or moderate were included. We used three sessions of fractional pixelated COFifty-two patients with SUI had three laser treatments, of whom 48 completed a 6-month follow-up and 42 patients completed 12-month follow-up. No serious adverse events were recorded during the study period. A significant reduction on the 1-hour pad test was found from baseline (6.3 ± 1.6 g) to the 12-month follow-up (3.7 ± 1.4 g, P 0.05) was found. PGI-I showed 75.0%, 61.9%, and 64.3% improvements at 3, 6, and 12 months, respectively. PFDI improved significantly and consistently from baseline until 12 months (37.2 ± 3.89 to 16.1 ± 3.7, P 0.05). Similarly, PFIQ showed significant improvements from the first treatment up to 12 months. Urodynamic assessment at 6 months showed that 41.4% of patients had no stress incontinence.The vaginal CO
