Authors' objectives:
To assess the safety and efficacy of tension-free urethropexy for treating stress urinary incontinence in women in comparison to the two gold standard procedures - the Burch colposuspension and the pubovaginal sling.
Authors' recommendations:
Low-level evidence suggested that tension-free urethropexy may have possible benefits with respect to post-operative voiding dysfunction, operating time, post-operative catheterization, resumption of voiding, and convalescence when compared to the traditional procedures. Short and medium term objective cure rates for stress incontinence were similar for the new and traditional procedures. There were no available contrasting data on long term objective cure rates.
