OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and complications between the retropubic and transobturator approaches for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) by conducting a systematic review. MATERIALS AND METHODS We selected all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared retropubic and transobturator sling placements for treatment of SUI. We estimated p...

OBJECTIVES To provide an analysis of the outcomes in patients who have a suburethral sling placed using the transobturator approach for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy, because data in this specific area remain limited, and recent changes in male sling surgery might improve the efficacy in men with moderate or mild incontinence. METHODS We evaluated th...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the two types of mid-urethral slings for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). METHODS This retrospective study included patients who underwent tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure or transobturator tape (TOT) procedure by a single surgeon for SUI with ISD, defined as Valsalva leak point pressure (VLPP...

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of intravaginal laser therapy applied concurrently with mesh excision for treatment vaginal polypropylene exposure or extrusion, which is most common complication after transobturator tape (TOT), on recurrence incontinence.
 Material and Method: The data 49 patients who underwent due to extrusion in our clinic between January 2009 2020 were retrospect...
