Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of repeat retropubic suburethral sling for recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 35 women with SUI who underwent repeat retropubic suburethral sling procedures between May 1994 and November 2014. Treatment outcome was assessed directly or by telephone interview. Sling position and urethral incompetence during straining and coughing after the procedure were evaluated.
Results: The overall continence rate after repeat suburethral sling procedures was 60% (21/35). Among the 35 women, 19 underwent a simple retropubic suburethra sling procedure and 16 underwent combined suburethral sling and other pelvic floor surgery; the success rate for these 2 groups was 84.2% (16/19) and 31.3% (5/16; P = .001), respectively. The success rate was 60% in patients with normal detrusor function (n = 18/30) and in those with detrusor underactivity (n = 3/5; P = 1.0). For patients with intrinsic sphincter deficiency and bladder base hypermobility, the success rate was 63.6% (n = 14/22) and 53.8% (n = 7/13), respectively (P = .36). Among the 25 patients with transrectal ultrasound follow-up data, the success rate following placement of the second sling at the bladder neck, proximal urethra, middle urethra, and distal urethra was 50% (2/4), 87.5% (7/8), 36.4% (4/11), and 0% (0/2), respectively (P = .122).
Conclusion: Repeat suburethral sling procedures for recurrent SUI are safe and effective. The position of the second sling at the proximal urethra resulted in a relatively higher continence rate relative to other sites.

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.
Management of Post-RALP SUI and ED - What are and What Should we be Doing?

Article Synopsis
- This review assesses the impact of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) on male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and erectile dysfunction (ED), highlighting the significant quality-of-life challenges these conditions present.
- It emphasizes the importance of patient history in determining treatment strategies, suggesting that penile rehabilitation may help improve erectile function post-surgery, though specific programs for optimal recovery are not yet agreed upon.
- The review concludes that effective treatments for post-RALP SUI include both adjustable slings and artificial urinary sphincters, while future research should focus on enhancing treatment methods and patient compliance for better outcomes.

Objective: This study evaluates the outcomes of modified transvaginal mesh (TVM) Surelift in managing advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) over a 3-year follow-up period, focusing on surgical success, functional improvement, and sonographic findings.
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 99 women who underwent Surelift System surgery for advanced POP Stage III and IV between July 2018 to January 2020. Objective evaluation included Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q), multichannel urodynamic (UDS), and introital 2D ultrasonographic measurement.
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.
