A randomised comparison of single-incision versus traditional transobturator midurethral sling in women with stress urinary incontinence: results of a 24-month follow-up

摘要

Introduction and hypothesis Midurethral sling procedures have become the principal surgical treatment for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The 1-year results of this international trial comparing the efficacy and morbidity of a single-incision midurethral sling (SIMS; MiniArc) and a transobturator standard midurethral sling (SMUS; Monarc) showed that MiniArc is non-inferior regarding subjective cure and superior with regard to postoperative pain and recovery. The objective was to compare subjective and objective cure, morbidity and surgery-related discomfort following SIMS and transobturator SMUS up to a 24-month follow-up.
