Objective: The current study aimed to evaluate objective and subjective results 10 years after the tension-free vaginal tape procedure.
Study Design: Two hundred ten patients who underwent a tension-free vaginal tape procedure at the 2 participating units between 1999 and 2001 were invited for follow-up. Evaluation at 10 years included history, clinical examination, cystoscopy, urodynamics, a cough stress test, and the Incontinence Outcome Questionnaire.
Results: Interview data were available for 67%; full clinical investigation was performed in 56% of patients. At 10 years, the clinical stress test was negative in 84%, slightly positive in 8.5%, and strongly positive in 4.3%. Subjectively, 57% of patients considered themselves "cured," 23% "improved," 6.4% "unchanged," and 11% "worse." Eleven of 141 (7.8%) had been reoperated in the interim. The rate of de novo urgency was 20%. Obesity seemed to be a risk factor for failure.
Conclusion: These data indicate satisfactory objective and subjective cure rates 10 years after tension-free vaginal tape procedure placement.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence is a frequent condition in female patients. Surgical treatment with tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) insertion is a minimally invasive option with immediate improvement of symptoms. Different possible complications have been described in the literature.

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.

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.
