Dr. Sheila Kennedy-Guess answered a few questions about her team’s study:

• What instigated your research question?
  • “We wanted to see if there was another valid treatment option for stress incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse other than traditional treatment methods.”
• Were any outcomes surprising to the researchers?
  • “There was a significant improvement in function and outcomes in such a short period of time.”
• What do you think is next for this treatment approach?
  • “Based on the results, a clinical trial with more subjects would be a great opportunity.”
