A randomized controlled trial comparing three vaginal kits of single-incision mini-slings for stress urinary incontinence: surgical data

Abstract Objective Single-incision mini-slings (SIMS) are new minimally invasive devices used for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). To date, several SIMS are available, but few and uncontrolled comparative data have assessed their safety and feasibility. The aim of the present clinical study was to compare three different SIMS in an ambulatory setting. Study design One hundred and twenty patients with SUI were randomized to receive three SIMS: Ajust ® , MiniArc ® , and TVT Secur System ® . Surgical data were compared. Results Significantly ( P ® group when compared to the Ajust ® and TVT Secur System ® groups. A significantly ( P ® group. The overall complication rate was significantly ( P ® group than in the TVT Secur System ® group. Conclusions MiniArc ® is simpler to insert under local anesthesia and in an ambulatory setting. It is safer than the TVT Secur System ® , and is related to higher patient satisfaction.
