The entire paradigm of surgery for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) underwent a significant change with the introduction of the retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) polypropylene mesh sling.1 This procedure is now the most commonly performed surgical treatment modality for SUI in women. The retropubic midurethral sling has also served as a prototype for a variety of modifications including transobturator tape slings, single-incision mini-slings, and adjustable slings. Objective cure rates vary depending on the definition of cure, but approximate 80% with follow-up times ranging from 1 to 11.5 years postoperation.2,3 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/09 UR - obgyn.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1105831985 ER -
