Objective: We compare the efficacy and late complications between a polypropylene monofilament tape (TVT) and a polypropylene multifilament tape (IVS) in the surgical implant of sub-urethral, tension free tape for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Methods: It is a non-randomised, monocentric retrospective study. Two questionnaires were sent to the patients. The first questionnaire determined the efficacy of the tape and the tolerance of the urinary process. The second questionnaire evaluated discomfort and consequences linked to urinary incontinence and associated urinary troubles.
Results: The study included 313 female patients and 256 (82%) responded to the questionnaire (137 TVT, 119 IVS). Patient satisfaction was 88.3% for the TVT tape and 73.5% for the IVS tape (p < 0.005). The improvement of the quality of life was also higher for the polypropylene monofilament tapes. "De novo" urge incontinence was more common in the TVT group. However, the rates of dysuria and infection of tapes were more common in the IVS group.
Conclusion: The type of tape appears to influence efficacy and the emergence of late complications. Our results point at the greater efficacy of the polypropylene monofilament tape.

Incontinence Management has long been overlooked as a normal part of aging and the national standard of care has become changing individuals every 2 hours. While this was effective for decades, it is no longer providing results and even more challenging for those suffering from Dementia. Over 50% of nursing home residents are incontinent with over 57% of each shift of a certified nursing aide being attributed to incontinence care and management.

However, there is controversy about the effectiveness of the combined application of these two interventions. For this reason, this study evaluated the efficacy of PFMT combined with ES in the treatment of SUI by Meta-analysis.

Introduction: Colposuspension has been a well-accepted surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) since 1961. However, there is limited research on predictors of poor outcomes in both laparoscopic colposuspension (LC) and open colposuspension (OC) procedures. This study aimed to identify predictors linked to patient-reported failure after colposuspension.

Background: Intradural extramedullary tuberculoma of the spinal cord (IETSC) is an exceedingly rare manifestation of tuberculosis (TB) affecting the central nervous system.
Case Description: A 33-year-old immunocompetent female with disseminated TB, including pulmonary involvement and leptomeningeal tuberculomas, developed progressive paraplegia and urinary incontinence over 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffuse intradural extramedullary soft tissue from C7 to L2 vertebral levels, indicative of abscess formation and severe spinal cord compression.

Department of Clinical Sciences, Division of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Karolinska Institutet Danderyd Hospital, SE- 182 88, Stockholm, Sweden.
Introduction And Hypothesis: The aim of the study was to compare clinical outcomes when using robotic-assisted sacral hysterocolpopexy (RASC) and vaginal surgery using the Uphold™ Vaginal Support System mesh for pelvic organ prolapse repair.
Methods: This was a nonrandomized, prospective, multicenter study in which 72 women underwent RASC, and 73 Uphold™ surgery, for apical prolapse (POP-Q C ≥ stage II). Anatomical outcomes were assessed using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) system.
