Abstract

Aim: to evaluate the efficacy of using modified midurethral minisling in women with SUI in Al-Diwaniya teaching hospital. Patients and methods: 22 women underwent minisling were diagnosed as pure SUI. Results: mean parity was 4.1, mean duration of symptoms was 28.8 months, mean length of operation was 65 minutes, mean length of hospital stay was 8 hours, mean cost was 195.000 ID, postoperatively ; one case with urine retention, no bladder injury , no vaginal or urethral erosion, no De novo urgency. Three failed cases(recurrent) assessed subjectively(history and examination) and objectively (Urodynamic testing). Conclusion: efficacy of modified midurethral minisling is comparable to TVT-TOT with lower cost.
