Abstract
Study Objective: Intrinsic sphincter deficiency is typically associated with a patient history of urethral injury or history of childbirth. Sling placement for ISD has been found to be beneficial in patients with this diagnosis. However, this is rare in the pediatric population and surgical management of ISD may prove difficult and require intensive counseling on available treatment options for this unique population.

Design: This is a case report of a 15-year-old patient who underwent successful placement of a single-incision mini sling. She was followed up outpatient at 3- and 6-month post-op visits.

Setting: At time of surgery, the patient was placed in dorsal lithotomy position under general anesthesia.

Patients or Participants: The patient is a 15-year-old nulligravid female with a history of insensible and continuous urinary incontinence. The patient has a BMI of 35 with no other past medical history and no neurological disease or spinal cord injury. Physical examination was benign. The patient underwent a tampon dye test and CT urogram, which were both negative for a fistula. No urethral abnormality was noted on CT scan. The patient underwent a multi-channel urodynamics study, which revealed a mean maximal urethral closure pressure of only 1 cm H2O, indicative of complete intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Due to the age of the patient, conservative treatment options were initially pursued, however this only achieved transient resolution for the patient.

Interventions: After extensive counseling with the patient and her mother, the patient opted for definitive treatment with the placement of a mid-urethral sling. The patient underwent uncomplicated placement of a single-incision mini-sling and cystoscopy under general anesthesia.

Measurements and Main Results: At a 3 and 6-month postoperative follow-up, the patient reported a subjective cure of stress urinary incontinence.

Conclusion: Single incision mini-sling is a minimally invasive technique that may be a feasible treatment option to reduce urinary incontinence in pediatric patients with a diagnosis of intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
