We present 2 cases of large bladder stones formed on a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) which was inadvertently passed through the bladder during the continence procedure. The stones together with the intravesical portion of the slings were removed using a suprapubic approach. High clinical suspicion of bladder complications is necessary when evaluating patients with urinary symptoms after a TVT operation.

Efficacy of Tension-Free Vaginal Tape versus Trans-Obturator Transvaginal Tape in the Treatment of Female Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Meta-Analysis.

Article Synopsis
- * A comprehensive search across multiple databases identified 13 high-quality randomized controlled trials to assess cure rates and complications associated with both surgical methods.
- * Results showed that both TVT and TVT-O had similar mid- to long-term cure rates for SUI, but TVT was linked to a higher risk of hematoma and a lower risk of thigh/groin pain compared to TVT-O.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of four surgical techniques for treating female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) using a sample of 243 patients divided into four groups based on the method used: AFS, TVT-O, epithelial flap suspension, and ASIS.
- Results showed no significant differences in treatment outcomes across the groups, but the ASIS group had better metrics in terms of reduced intraoperative bleeding and shorter hospital stays compared to others.
- The TVT-O technique was associated with a higher occurrence of postoperative medial thigh pain, while the AFS group had more cases of urine retention, highlighting the different risk profiles of each surgical method despite overall effectiveness.

Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective was to assess the sonographic tension-free vaginal tape-obturator (TVT-O) position and the outcome in Asian Chinese women.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of 254 patients who underwent TVT-O surgery between 2013 and 2022. The sonographic position of the TVT-O was recorded and correlated with the outcomes, including the subjective cure rates, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire 7 (IIQ-7), and retention of urine.
Effectiveness and Safety of Shorter Incontinence Slings.

Department of Gynaecology, Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway.
Introduction And Hypothesis: Traditional slings, tension-free vaginal tape obturator inside-out (TVT-O) and tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), have well-documented continence outcomes but can cause serious complications. This study was aimed at evaluating whether slings with less synthetic material, Ajust™ and TVT-O Abbrevo™ (TVT-A), have comparable 6- to 12-month failure and complication rates, including risk of prolonged postoperative pain, compared with traditional slings.
Methods: A registry study from the Norwegian Female Incontinence Registry (NFIR) including 611 Ajust™, 2,772 TVT-A, and 18,612 traditional slings was carried out.

Purpose: To review the functional results of the midurethral sling (MUS) in the management of mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) and provide guidance on patient selection and the potential benefits of concomitant treatments.
Methods: A literature review from the past 20years was conducted from the PubMed database using the terms "mixed urinary incontinence," associated to "sling," "midurethral sling," "suburethral sling," "mid-urethral sling," "sub-urethral sling," and "tension-free vaginal tape".
Results: The efficacy of the MUS varies considerably depending on the definition of success used.
