Abstract
Minimally invasive suburethral slings, namely the retropubic suburethral sling or the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), has become the mainstay for surgical management of moderate to severe stress urinary incontinence (SUI) taking over the place of Burch's colposuspension after its introduction in the 1990s. Following the introduction of retropubic sling procedures are the transobturator (TVT-O) procedures and the mini-sling procedures. This review attempts to summarize the current trend of midurethral sling (MUS) procedures in the management of SUI.
