Objective: Sub-urethral slings are the "gold standard" when treating female urinary incontinence, but placing the prosthetic material has its own specific complication, exposure.
Study Design: A retrospective study was performed on all patients who had a sub-urethral sling (TVT-O or TVT Secur) in Lille University Hospital Centre from 2006 to 2008. Follow-up was undertaken to look for re-intervention and to try to determine the risk factors.
Results: A total of 386 patients were studied with a median follow-up of 4 years. The rate of exposure was 4.32%. TVT Secur gave rise to more exposures (13.79%) than TVT-O (3.51%) (p=0.0203). Association with Prolift for cure of prolapse significantly reduced the rate of exposure of sub-urethral slings (p=0.0161).
Conclusions: It seems important not to use mini-slings of the TVT Secur type as they induce a higher rate of prosthetic exposure. Cure of urinary incontinence may be done with cure of prolapse at the same surgical operation without higher risk of exposure.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Coital incontinence (CI) is an important problem that negatively affects women's quality of life and is often underreported owing to embarrassment, indicating the importance of its assessment with validated questionnaires. The aim of this study was to validate the Turkish-translated version of the International Female Coital Incontinence Questionnaire (IFCI-Q) for the objective evaluation of women with CI in Turkish-speaking populations.
Methods: Ninety women with CI filled out the Turkish-translated version of IFCI-Q.

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a common complication secondary to estrogen depletion which leads to tissue changes in the female genitourinary tract. Here, we sought to investigate the short- and long-term effects of CO laser therapy on symptoms of GSM in postmenopausal women. In this clinical trial, 47 postmenopausal women with symptoms of GSM were included.
