Objectives: Due to the absence of randomized studies, the Spanish Reemex Working Group started a registry to analyze and review the results of a large group of patients with mid-term and long-term follow-up to obtain conclusions based on clinical experience.
Methods: A registry of 715 patients who underwent surgical intervention for insertion of the SUI readjustable prosthesis Reemex TRT (tension free readjustable tape) in 15 Spanish hospitals (40% urology departments, 60% gynecology departments). The registry was established to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the sling adjustability concept in the surgical treatment of female SUI.
Background And Purpose: Slings have been successful in the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, in many situations, the sling may have either an excess of or inadequate tension, producing voiding difficulties or urinary leakage, respectively. The effectiveness of a readjustable sling for the treatment of male SUI has been evaluated.

However, they still have problems with either an excess or a lack of tension, which produces voiding difficulties or urinary leakage persistence, respectively. The effectiveness of a new adjustable sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has been evaluated.
