In this study we determined the efficacy of TVT for the treatment of female urinary incontinence in a first group of patients (69) of our urogynaecology service from April 1998 to December 2000. The TVT procedure is a minimally invasive technique, using local or spinal anaesthesia, which consists in the implantation of a Prolene tape around the mid-urethra. On the basis of our results (92.3 % success rate) we consider the TVT procedure to be a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of female urinary stress incontinence.

This chapter summarizes the results of the Stress Incontinence Surgical Treatment Efficacy (SISTEr) trial, which randomized women with stress urinary incontinence to an autologous sling procedure versus a Burch colposuspension. Overall treatment success favored the fascial sling over the Burch procedure group, as did the stress incontinence–specific success rate at 24 months. Postoperative voiding dysfunction and urge incontinence were more common in the sling group than the Burch group. These findings supported the historical shift toward slings (autologous and synthetic) versus Burch colposuspension procedures in clinical practice.
