Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the effectiveness of midurethral slings (MUS) for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and cystoceles in women, comparing MUS alone versus MUS combined with anterior colporrhaphy (AC).
  • Researchers randomized 98 women, all aged over 21 and without prior SUI surgeries, into two groups to assess success rates based on stress tests and cystocele examination.
  • Results showed that MUS alone had similar success rates as the combined treatment at both 3 and 6 months, with better outcomes at 1 year for the MUS group, demonstrating that MUS is effective without the added risks of AC.
