He is internationally recognized as a leader in the field of incontinence and prolapse both in basic science and surgery. In the early 1990s, he and the late Professor Ulf Ulmsten from the University of Uppsala, Sweden, wrote a 79 page description of the Integral Theory of Female Urinary Incontinence which stated that stress urinary incontinence and what is now known as 'overactive bladder' did not originate from the bladder itself, but from looseness in the supporting ligaments of the urethra and vagina. The reason for the looseness was deficient collagen in the ligaments. Two years prior to this publication, Petros and John Papadimitriou, both from the Royal Perth Hospital invented a new surgical method, how to create a new collagenous ligament using a tape implanted in the exact position of the damaged ligament. This was the basis for the midurethral sling operation for cure of urinary stress incontinence. More than 5,000,000 such operations have been performed between 1996 and 2018. Since 1993, the Theory has evolved into a complete system of management as the Integral Theory System (ITS), which is not only a method of surgery, but also special non-surgical methods which can strengthen the automatic muscles and ligaments of the female pelvis. It is this part of the ITS which has been applied to cure children with bedwetting.
Professor Petros has authored more than 250 original scientific articles on incontinence and prolapse, has been awarded 4 doctorates and has written a major medical textbook on 'The Female Pelvic Floor' now in its 3rd edition, which has been printed in 10 languages.visualizza meno
