Conditions

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Keywords

stress urinary incontinence, tension free vaginal tape, single incision minisling, midurethral sling

Brief summary

Based on previous studies the single incision minisling is an easy less invasive procedure with fewer complications and cure rate similar to conventional midurethral slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the single incision mini-sling placed in the U position is not inferior to TVT in this patient population.

Interventions

PROCEDUREsingle incision minisling

midline incision of the vagina at midurethral level dissection of the vagina from perivesical fascia insertion of the tape (polypropylene macropore mesh tape) in the retropubic direction with its end grasped with an artery forceps till level of perineal membrane closure of the vagina 2 sham incisions if the skin only will be made at suprapubic to maintain blindness posterior colpoperneorraphy will be carried out if needed

midline incision of the vagina at midurethral level dissection of the vagina from perivesical fascia insertion of the tape (polypropylene macropore mesh tape) with the applicators in the retropubic direction and 2 skin incision will be made supra pubic through which the applicators will be passed and removed and the tape will be cut at level just below the skin closure of the vagina posterior colpoperneorraphy will be carried out if needed

subjective cure rate of urinary incontinence at 12 months after surgery12 monthssubjective cure is indicated by an Incontinence Severity Index score of 0 and the absence of any additional surgical or nonsurgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
