Abstract: | The aim of this study was to compare the pubovaginal sling with a new Vicryl mesh rectus fascia (VMRF) sling in the surgical treatment of low urethral pressure genuine stress incontinence. Fifty-one consecutive women who had a VMRF (n= 27) or a pubovaginal sling (n= 24) procedure between March 1995 and December 1997 were evaluated. The patient-determined subjective success rate of the VMRF sling (85%) was significantly higher than that of the pubovaginal sling (58%) in women with low urethral pressure stress incontinence (P=0.03). The objective success rates following the VMRF and the pubovaginal sling were 52% and 50%, respectively. The prevalence of postoperative symptomatic voiding dysfunction and de novo detrusor instability was 7% after the VMRF sling and 25% following the pubovaginal sling (P=0.08). The VMRF sling had a higher patient-determined success rate and a lower complication rate than the pubovaginal sling, and should be considered in the surgical management of women with low urethral pressure stress incontinence. |
