Efficacy of the new adjustable I‐stop‐mini sling system in women with stress urinary incontinence and intrinsic sphincter deficiency: A retrospective cohort study

“…Long‐term follow‐up of these two devices including efficacy, complication such as mesh erosion, and groin pain is warranted and further study should be developed. Similar to our previous study, 18 the questionnaire scores were obtained using medical charts, which might have introduced reporting bias. Moreover, loss to follow‐up as a result of nonreturn in both groups might have caused selection bias.…”

“…familiar with midurethral sling surgery performed the surgical procedures. The surgical steps were as described in our previous study 18 . We assessed the operative time and blood loss and detected the presence of bladder perforation with a cystoscope immediately after the surgery.…”

“…The surgical steps were as described in our previous study. 18 We assessed the operative time and blood loss and detected the presence of bladder perforation with a cystoscope immediately after the surgery. The hospital stay duration and residual urine volume after bladder filling and complete voiding were recorded before discharge.…”

“…In our previous study, the adjustable midurethral sling I‐stop‐mini (CL Medical) (Figure 1) showed noninferior effectiveness to the TMUS system Obtryx (Boston Scientific) in women with SUI with a 1‐year follow‐up 18 . However, no previous study has investigated the efficacy of the I‐stop‐mini in women with SUI and ISD.…”

“…[14][15][16][17] In our previous study, the adjustable midurethral sling I-stopmini (CL Medical) (Figure 1) showed noninferior effectiveness to the TMUS system Obtryx (Boston Scientific) in women with SUI with a 1-year follow-up. 18 However, no previous study has investigated the efficacy of the I-stop-mini in women with SUI and ISD. We hypothesized that the I-stop-mini will provide noninferior effectiveness and safety compared with Obtryx in women with ISD-type SUI.…”
