Abstract
The surgeons' and the patients' perceptions regarding outcome and change in symptoms after TVT sling for SUI at our hospital, correlate well. Hence, the documentation in the clinical notes by the surgeons can be relied upon as an accurate representation of post-operative patient progress. Despite the relatively low cure rates (44-46%) for SUI with TVT sling procedure, the patient satisfaction rates with the outcome are high (94%), reiterating that there is a poor correlation between quality of life impairment and the concept of cure.
