Introduction and hypothesis Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAHG, Bulkamid®) is one of several injectable agents currently used for the treatment of women with urinary stress incontinence. Although bulking agents appear to have lower efficacy rates compared to other surgical treatments, current evidence based on large prospective or comparative studies as well as systematic reviews is limited. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review on the efficacy of PAHG in the treatment of female patients with stress urinary incontinence with regard to reproducibility, feasibility, safety and clinical outcome.
