Is surgical treatment of stress incontinence in women effective?
Patients receiving surgical treatment for female stress urinary incontinence have fewer symptoms and increased satisfaction compared with patients receiving physiotherapy or no treatment. (SOR: B,…
TVT for the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence: Efficacy and adverse effects at 13‐year follow‐up
TLDR
To assess long‐term subjective, objective, and urodynamic outcomes of retropubic mid‐urethral slings at 13‐year follow‐up, a large number of subjects were recruited forrandomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.
Midurethral sling procedures for stress urinary incontinence in women over 80 years
TLDR
To compare the safety and efficacy of midurethral sling surgery for management of urinary stress incontinence in women over 80 years versus younger women, a large number of women aged over 80 are thought to have undergone sling surgery.
Influence of age, BMI and parity on the success rate of midurethral slings for stress urinary incontinence
TLDR
Higher age and BMI at surgery have a detrimental influence on the objective cure rate at 5 years after midurethral sling surgery; higher age also has a negative influence on subjective long-term outcomes.

The tension‐free vaginal tape for treating female stress urinary incontinence
TLDR
The tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) is a relatively new procedure that uses a synthetic polypropylene mesh sling placed in the midurethral position that has gained widespread popularity amongst both urologists and urogynaecologists, although long-term results are not yet available.
Quality of life after tension-free vaginal tape surgery for female stress incontinence
TLDR
Improvements in measures of QOL after TVT surgery are dramatic and persist for years, and women with concomitant diseases that may be associated with urinary incontinence can be assured that there is a good chance of success withTVT surgery.
