Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the outcomes and complication rates of an adjustable single-incision mini-sling (SIMS) with standard mid-urethral slings (SMUS) for treating stress urinary incontinence in women.
- Approximately 305 women participated in a multicenter trial across Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, where they were randomly assigned to either the SIMS or SMUS group and assessed before and after surgery.
- One year later, both groups showed similar effectiveness, but the SIMS group reported experiencing less postoperative pain compared to the SMUS group.
