Introduction
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of single-incision mini-sling in the surgical treatment of postmenopausal urodynamic stress urinary incontinence (SUI) compared to the standard trans-obturator mid-urethral sling. Material and methods This prospective study was carried out in two tertiary centres; Al-Azhar University Maternity & Urology Hospitals. A total of 120 postmenopausal women with urodynamic SUI were randomized to undergo either single-incision mini-sling (n = 60) or standard trans-obturator mid-urethral sling procedure (n = 60) from May 2019 until Oct 2021. Main outcome measures: efficacy was evaluated utilizing objective cure rate (cough stress test) and subjective cure rate (Sandvik incontinence severity index and International Consultations on Incontinence Questionnaire – Short Form), intraoperative and postoperative complications, and postoperative pain (using a visual analogue scale). Results The single-incision mini-sling (SIMS) and transobturator tape (TOT) groups had no statistically significant difference in subjective and objective cure rates (p > 0.05). Compared with the transvaginal tape O group, patients in the SIMS group had significantly less postoperative pain, shorter operative duration, and less intraoperative blood loss (all p-values < 0.05). No significant difference in perioperative complications was observed between both groups. Conclusions Single-incision mini-sling was superior to TOT in postmenopausal as SIMS is of similar effectiveness, more safe and minimally invasive with earlier ambulance. keywords:
