AUTOLOGOUS FASCIAL SLING VS POLYPROPYLENE TAPE AT SHORT-TERM FOLLOWUP: A PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY

Abstract

Rectus fascia sling and TVT seem to be equally effective regarding primary outcome measure (ie cure of stress incontinence). Symptom score related to incontinence surgery as well as simultaneous correction of cystocele are comparable in the 2 groups. Fascial sling is a longer treatment process yet it is more economical. Longer followup is vital before rigorous conclusions can be drawn.
