It was reported via journal article, ¿minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of primary stress urinary incontinence¿ that a study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and morbidity of the new minimally invasive mesh procedure in the treatment of primary stress urinary incontinence (sui).The study design was a prospective multi-centre trial involving 4 different hospitals.All patients with primary urodynamic sui and urethral hypermobility were prospectively selected to receive the procedure.Each centre was allowed to perform the procedure either in the ¿hammock¿- or ¿u¿-shaped approach.From november 2006 to september 2007, 95 consecutive patients (mean age 57+/-10 years [range 36-79]; median parity 2 [range 0-6]; median bmi 27.1+/-5 kg/m2) were enrolled in the study.Postoperative complications include: voiding difficulty (n=7), recurrent urinary tract infection (n=9), de novo urgency incontinence (n=9), dyspareunia for a defect healing with vaginal protrusion of the mesh (n=2).The tvt-secur procedure seems to be an effective treatment for women with primary sui with an overall success rate of 80%.
