Review Meta Analysis
Retropubic or transobturator mid-urethral slings for intrinsic sphincter deficiency-related stress urinary incontinence in women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Stress urinary incontinence is a common problem affecting 12-46% of women. A cohort of women have a more severe form of stress urinary incontinence usually due to intrinsic urethral sphincter deficiency that has traditionally resulted in lower success rates with standard treatment modalities. We aim to address the question of whether transobturator sling insertion is more effective than retropubic sling insertion in the treatment of intrinsic sphincter deficiency-related stress urinary incontinence in women. ⋯ Mid-urethral slings are effective in treating women with intrinsic sphincter deficiency-associated stress urinary incontinence. The retropubic route resulted in higher subjective cure rates compared with transobturator routes. Both routes improved the overall quality of life.
