Transobturator Verus Single Incision Slings

Transobturator Versus Single Incision Slings: 1 Year Results of a Randomized Control Trial

A randomized control trial to compare the efficacy of the single incision mini-sling to the transobturator sling

Transobturator slings are one type of sling that has become standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence. However, this procedure involves a total of 3 incisions to perform.

In contrast, single incision slings have been developed to treat stress urinary incontinence by using only one incision.

However, to date the success and complications of these two procedures have not been compared or studied.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with urodynamically proven stress urinary incontinence who were planning on undergoing surgery for treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with prior incontinence surgery, a urodynamic diagnosis of intrinsic sphincter deficiency and mixed incontinence with a predominance of detrusor overactivity were excluded.
