Complications of female urinary incontinence surgery with mini-sling system

Comparison of clinical efficacy and urodynamic changes using single-incision slings (MiniArc® vs. Solyx™) for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence

“…In the past studies, de novo urgency showed a wide variation of 0%–36% incidence; over 30% was reported by Gauruder-Burmester and Popken,[ 25 ] while only 6.45% was described by Alvarez-Bandrés et al . [ 26 ] In this study, 9 patients (17.6%) from the Solyx group experienced de novo urgency at 1-year, significantly more than the MiniArc group (5 patients, 6.3%), P = 0.010, the exact cause is uncertain. Possible mechanisms contributing to this phenomenon could be traced to the intrinsic design of the Solyx slings (i.e.…”

“…found a complication rate of 17% for MiniArc, although most were mild and could be successfully treated conservatively. [ 26 ] Adverse events were uncommon in the two studied groups, and none of the patients experienced urinary retention after the operation. In the past studies, de novo urgency showed a wide variation of 0%–36% incidence; over 30% was reported by Gauruder-Burmester and Popken,[ 25 ] while only 6.45% was described by Alvarez-Bandrés et al .…”
