Importance: This study compares the long-term efficacy and safety of an innovative single-incision sling (SIS) with the inside-out transobturator tape (TOT) sling in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
Objectives: Women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence were randomized to either SIS or TOT groups and followed up for 4 years. The primary outcome was objective cure defined with a negative cough stress test result.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to compare the efficacy and safety of an innovative single-incision sling (SIS) with the inside-out transobturator sling (TOT) in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Methods: A prospective randomized trial was performed in a tertiary referral urogynecology center from January 2012 to December 2013. The study included women with pure urodynamic SUI.

Objective: To analyze the available clinical evidence on the continued effectiveness of midurethral sling (MUS) surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women who become pregnant and undergo delivery, and then to determine the optimal mode of delivery for such women.
Methods: An online search was carried out to retrieve the available evidence regarding the risk of SUI recurrence during pregnancy and after delivery following a successful MUS treatment. Appropriate keywords were used to identify all relevant reports published from 1996 through 2011.
