Comparison of TVT, TVT-O/TOT and mini slings for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence: 30 months follow up in 531 patients.

Introduction: Although mid-urethral slings (MUS), have been extensively used for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), no published data exists for the efficiency and the complications of these methods in large patient series.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis on patients who underwent MUS surgery since 1999. 531 patients were studied and the results of preoperative assessment, perioperative, early postoperatively and each follow up were registered.
