A Retrospective Comparative Series Comparing Monarc and Sparc Suburethral Slings. Introduction and Hypothesis: There are a number of suburethral slings used in current practice to treat female urinary incontinence. To date there has been a lack of larger comparative series. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness and complications of two types of suburethral sling. Methods: A retrospective comparative series comparing 113 consecutive Sparcsuburethral slings with 112 consecutive Monarc slings. Results: The success rate of SparcvsMonarc was similar at 6 weeks (96.1% vs 94.2%, NS) and at 6 months (96.0% vs 92.6%, NS). The Monarc procedure had less intraoperative bladder fenestrations & less postoperative urgency. Conclusions: Both procedures had a similar success rate, while the Monarc had less complications. Brief Summary: Both procedures had a similar success rate, while the Monarc had less complications of intraoperative bladder fenestration & postoperative urgency.

Treatment of female stress urinary incontinence using suburethral slings: comparative, retrospective, observational study of two surgical techniques.
OBJECTIVE The treatment of female stress urinary incontinence has undergone a revolution in recent years due the emergence on the market of suburethral slings. The aim of this study is to compare two surgical techniques for treating stress urinary incontinence: Monarc™ (transobturator suburethral sling) and MiniArc(®) (single-incision suburethral mini-sling). MATERIAL AND METHODS Comparative,...
متن کاملOutcomes following mid-urethral sling placement in patients with intrinsic sphincteric deficiency: comparison of Sparc and Monarc slings.
PURPOSE The treatment of patients with intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD) remains difficult. It is theorized that differing vectors of support provided by retropubic versus transobturator mid-urethral sling routes may affect outcomes. We sought to compare outcomes of patients undergoing SPARC versus MONARC sling types in patients with Valsalva leak point pressures (VLPPs) below 60 cm H2O. ...

PURPOSE We examined the effect of the Monarc suburethral sling on urethral mobility. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied the records of 54 consecutive women who received a Monarc suburethral sling between July 2005 and November 2008. All patients were examined by volume ultrasound preoperatively and at followup (average 0.7 years). Volume data sets were analyzed using post-proces...
