Objective: To assess the efficacy and complications associated with use of the TVT SECUR System device with placement of the tape in either a "hammock" or "U" position for management of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Methods: A prospective study of patients with SUI allocated into one of two groups: "hammock" or "U" tape placement. Preoperative urodynamic results were compared with results at the 6-month and 1-year follow up. Outcome measures were objective cough test assessment and subjective patient responses to a questionnaire at follow up.
Results: Of 82 patients included in the study, 43 comprised the "hammock" group and 39 comprised the "U" group. The objective cure rate at 1-year follow up was 62.8% (n=27) in the "hammock" group and 71.8% (n=28) in the "U" group. At 1-year follow up, the subjective cure, improvement, and failure rates for the "hammock" group were 60.5%, 13.9%, and 25.7% respectively, and 69.2%, 12.8%, and 17.9% respectively, for the "U" group.
Conclusion: The efficacy of the TVT SECUR System was lower (<72%) than the cure rates reported for other TVT procedures; further studies are required.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence imposes a significant health and economic burden on individuals and society. Single-incision slings are a minimally-invasive treatment option for stress urinary incontinence. They involve passing a short synthetic device through the anterior vaginal wall to support the mid-urethra.

To analyze the long-term outcomes of different secondary surgeries in women with recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after Burch colposuspension. Between February 2004 to February 2010, five women with recurrent SUI after Burch colposuspension in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively followed up, and the long-term outcomes of secondary surgeries were analyzed. Subjective cures of Burch colposuspension and secondary surgeries were assessed by patients' self-reported incontinence symptoms and patient global impression of improvement questionnaire; objective cure, improvement or failure were determined by 1-hour pad test.

Introduction: TVT-Secur (TVT-S) was the first single-incision sling available on the market and was soon found to have less efficacy than mid-urethral slings. Our aim was to assess the position and tape descent following TVT-O and TVT-S H in a U procedure and, based on this evaluation, to find the possible reason for lower TVT-S surgery efficacy.
Methods: We conducted an ultrasound study of a randomised trial with a 3-year follow-up that took place between 2007 and 2009 and included 197 women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence.

Background: Tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) and tension-free vaginal tape secur (TVT-S) are common surgeries for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have compared the effects of TVT-O and TVT-S, yet the results remained inconsistent. Therefore, we attempted to conduct this systematic review and meta-analysis to analyse the role of TVT-O and TVT-S in patients with SUI.
Methods: We searched PubMed databases from inception date to Jan 15, 2020 for RCTs that compared TVT-O and TVT-S in SUI patients.

Background: Incidence of intraoperative vaginal perforation is generally considered to be low but varies among different procedures. Vaginal perforation could not only prolong the surgeries and aggravate surgical trauma but also result in postoperative discomfort or even a second surgery.
Method: Vaginal perforation, vaginal epithelial perforation, vaginal wall perforation, vaginal penetration, urinary incontinence were searched in PubMed, Cochrane, Embase database to identify the qualified clinical trial and relevant literature sources were also searched.
