Evaluate 5-year objective and subjective cure rates after implant of the retropubic Align Urethral Support System.
Between June 2007 and December 2008, the investigators performed 155 Align mid-urethral slings in patients who were only receiving this operation. Very few studies have outcomes at 5 years of greater. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate five-year objective and subjective cure rates. Secondary endpoints will assess failure risk factors and describe any complications of the retropublic Align Urethral Support System five years postoperatively.

The specific forms used will be PFDI-20 and incontinence severity index. Question 17 of the pelvic floor distress inventory will be used to assess subjective cure.
