2. LARGE GROUP OF TREATED PATIENTS
The prospective trial included 175 patients, who received 2-3 sessions of IncontiLase® treatment and were followed up to 12 months post-treatment. The study assessments included ICIQ questionnaire and ISI incontinence severity index determination, patient satisfaction questionnaire and VAS pain scale.
