Despite the established safety and efficacy of midurethral slings (MUS), which are the current gold standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the potential for postoperative complications remains a significant concern for both healthc...
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) negatively influences sexual functions. However, the available data on sexual activity of patients who underwent midurethral sling (MUS) implantation are inconsistent. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of MUS implan...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common reasons for antibiotic prescriptions among women worldwide. UTIs are also associated with intra- and postoperative catheterization, which is an essential component of many gynecological surgi...
Background: To report our experiences of a tape-releasing suture with “long-loop” in women with iatrogenic urethral obstruction following the mid-urethral sling procedure. Methods: A total of 149 women underwent a tape-releasing suture wi...
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of mid-urethral sling (MUS) with botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) versus MUS only in women with mixed urinary incontinence. This was a comparative observational study, and total of 73 patient...
Objectives: To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the Serasis® partially absorbable transobturator mid-urethral sling (MUS) in women aged ≥65 years compared to younger women. Methods: A retrospective comparative study of 375 consecuti...
Stress urinary incontinence affects a large proportion of women in their lifetime. The objective of this review was to describe and compare the latest surgical trends in urinary incontinence and focus on the literature advantages, disadvantages, comp...
Background/Objectives: The most common variant of mixed urinary incontinence is stress-induced urge urinary incontinence with the correlating urodynamic findings of cough-induced detrusor overactivity (CIDO). This prospective study assessed the clini...
Voiding dysfunction (VD) after sling operation is not uncommon. Sling revisions by incision/excision are usually effective; however, they may result in recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We aimed to evaluate continence status after an innov...
Introduction: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has a significant impact on the quality of life of many women. Due to embarrassment, most women do not seek medical attention for this condition. The treatment of this problem includes preventive therap...
Urinary incontinence (UI) is a widespread worldwide gynecological pathology with a negative impact on women’s quality of life. We performed a narrative review and present a general, descriptive, and comprehensive perspective about surgical tech...
Background and objectives: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common type of urinary incontinence, affecting approximately 46% of adult women. After failure of conservative treatment, the mid-urethral sling (MUS) is considered the most eff...

Urinary incontinence (UI) is a significant social problem. According to the World Health Organization, UI affects as much as 30% of premenopausal women and 60% of postmenopausal women. Urinary incontinence can lead to certain problems that negatively...
Background/Objectives: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition affecting sexual function, exercise activities, and quality of life, accompanied by psychological distress. The treatment of SUI includes conservative and surgical treatme...
Introduction: The study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of bulking agents and single-incision slings in the treatment of urinary incontinence in 159 patients during a 29-month follow-up period. Material and methods: Of the 159 patients suffer...
Background: Being overweight or obese is a risk factor for incontinence and has negative impacts on the surgical outcomes. Compared with trans-obturator sling (TOS), single incision sling (SIS) is a new generation of anti-incontinence surgery. Howeve...
It would be logical to think that single-incision mini-slings (SIMS) should behave like the rest of the tension-free vaginal tape and, therefore, to believe that they present a similar ultrasound appearance, but there are no studies on this matter. T...
Background/Objectives: The use of tension-free vaginal tape obturator (TVT-O) for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has been widely debated over the last decade due to the lack of evidence on its long-term outcomes. The aim of this p...
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate management strategies for female urinary incontinence, specifically stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and anterior vaginal prolapse (pelvic organ prolapse, POP), emphasizing diagnostic methods, treatment options, and...
Background/Objectives: Female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgical treatment has changed since its beginning. Selecting materials that promote constructive tissue remodelling helps to maintain continence after surgery and minimizes complication...
To avoid complications related to mid-urethral slings (MUS), alternative procedures to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI), such as urethral bulking agents (UBAs) have been adopted. The aim of this review is to narratively report the efficacy and...
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between the overall rest–stress distance measured by transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) and Q-tip test angle in women with urodynamic stress incontinence (USI), and determine a cut-of...
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a prevalent condition worldwide with detrimental effects on patients’ quality of life. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) has emerged as the gold standard for managing complex and high-grade POP. While anatomical a...
Objectives: To assess the long-term safety and efficacy of the Serasis® inside-out transobturator midurethral sling (MUS), a partially absorbable soft tape for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: A cohort study of 146 consecutive women wh...

Menopause is often the cut-off point from which most cases of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women begin. This dysfunction affects not only the physical experience of the patient, but is also related to the psychological aspects, leading to a r...
Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common condition that can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. Although multiple diagnostic and treatment options exist, significant variability in SUI management exists between co...
Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the complications, success rate and satisfaction of pelvic floor reconstruction after transobturator midurethral sling (TOT) and TOT combined with pelvic floor reconstruction in the...
Introduction: Transobturator techniques are frequently used for the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI), due to their high success rates and few intraoperative complications. However, controversial results have been reporte...
Introduction: There is no clear evidence in the literature that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections improve female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Objectives: A systematic review was performed to study the eff...
