Female, 57 year-old patient, reported having undergone surgery for correction of urinary incontinence due to sphincteric insufficiency with the implantation of a synthetic pubovaginal sling 14 months earlier. Though she did not present urine loss any longer, approximately 60 days following the surgical procedure she started to report dysuria, pollakiuria and dyspareunia. Attempts of a conservative solution were ineffective. The appearance of a vaginal infra-urethral granuloma and the exteriorization of the synthetic material led to its removal.

Article Synopsis
- Female stress urinary incontinence is a common issue where urine leaks during activities that increase abdominal pressure, and it can significantly affect a woman's quality of life.
- Diagnosis typically involves looking at the patient's history and physical exam, particularly noting any urine leakage during specific actions like coughing.
- Treatment options vary widely, including conservative methods (like observation and pelvic floor therapy) and surgical procedures, with decisions made collaboratively between the patient and physician based on individual needs and conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Urinary incontinence, particularly stress urinary incontinence (SUI), is a common issue in primary care that can greatly impact a patient's daily life and requires effective assessment and management by healthcare providers.
- The diagnosis of SUI is typically based on the patient's medical history and specific physical exams, with pelvic floor physiotherapy and lifestyle changes as primary treatment options.
- For more severe cases, surgical solutions like urethral bulking agents and different types of slings are available, with synthetic mid-urethral slings remaining a popular choice for treating SUI in women.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compares the long-term outcomes and complications of two surgical treatments for female stress urinary incontinence: retropubic pubovaginal sling (PVS) and transobturator tape (TOT) from 2010 to 2022.
- - Results showed a higher success rate for PVS (87.4%) compared to TOT (75.4%). Additionally, the TOT group experienced more persistent overactive bladder symptoms and required repeat procedures more often.
- - The findings suggest that TOT procedures are less effective than PVS, with no significant differences in success rates based on bladder function or pressure measurements.
Autologous Slings in Female Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Moscow Urological Center, Botkin Hospital, 2nd Botkinsky pr-d, 5, 125284, Moscow, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of autologous fascial slings (AFS) versus other surgical options for treating female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
- - It analyzed data from 20 randomized controlled trials, revealing no significant differences in cure rates or urinary retention between AFS and synthetic midurethral slings (SMUS), though SMUS had more long-term complications and a shorter operation time and hospital stay.
- - The findings suggest that AFS is equally effective as SMUS but incurs fewer long-term complications, while SMUS has advantages in terms of quicker procedures and shorter recovery times.

Article Synopsis
- Female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is common among women and significantly affects their quality of life, with suburethral slings being the most prevalent treatment option.
- A survey revealed that while 68% of practitioners use midurethral slings, only 60.6% would consider removing the sling if complications arose, with various types of sling techniques being utilized.
- The findings highlight the need for surgeons to discuss surgical risks and other treatment alternatives thoroughly with patients during the consent process, promoting a more diverse range of management options for female SUI.
