Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: RESULTS: The procedure was successfully performed in all patients without intraoperative bleeding. No significant persistent postoperative pain was noted and only 1 patient had urinary tract infection. Concomitant vaginal hysterectomy, cystocele repair or perineoplasty was performed in 33 cases. At 12-month followup 41 patients (82%) are completely continent, 7 patients (14%) reported more than 50% decrease in pad usage and 2 cases are considered surgical failures. Mean operative time was 28 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: Data suggest that our new minimally invasive procedure provides a safe, effective and easy to learn alternative for treatment of women with anatomical stress incontinence.
