1335 TWO YEARS PROSPECTIVE EVALUATION OF THE MINIARC® SINGLE-INCISION SLING FOR TREATMENT OF STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE

Abstract

satisfaction rate of 63.3%. The cure rates were lower in patients with high grade of SUI (47.1% in grade III; 80.5% in grade II; 88.4% in grade I, p 0.001). On multivariate analysis, there was no independent risk factors related to cure rate, and urgency was the only factor independently associated with patients satisfaction (p 0.008; odds ratio 2.274). Twenty one patients (10.2%) had postoperative complications at 1-month follow-up after surgery. But only 7 patients (3.3%) had postoperative complications at 10-year follow-up after surgery, including mesh exposure in 5 patients and de novo urgency in 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS: The absence of long-term adverse events associated with the TVT procedure and high subjective and objective 10-year postoperative success rates without any independent predictive factors affecting long-term cure rate make the TVT procedure a recommendable surgical treatment for female SUI.
