“…It was not until 1949 that Marshal, Marchetti, and Krantz [10] developed a successful transabdominal procedure (MMK) for SUI that fixed the bladder neck directly to the pubic symphysis. Although the cure rate was close to 84% in most series, the procedure was associated with osteitis pubis and had a certain cost in terms of surgical morbidity related to the abdominal incision.…”

In the last century, the pathophysiology of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has been investigated and several surgical techniques have been utilized for cure. The most recent evolution in the study of SUI is the minimally invasive tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure, which can be done under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation and is individualized for each patient. The procedure recreates the "hammock" of the anterior vaginal wall and endopelvic fascia with a mesh tape of polypropylene. The cure rates of the initial studies are equal to or better than other anti-incontinence procedures, and the permanent supportive mesh is very well tolerated. The TVT creates a backboard on which the urethra compresses itself when it rotates posteriorly during cough or stress. The procedure accomplishes subjective and objective cure without elevating the bladder neck or altering urethral mobility.

“…In the 1940s, the Marshal Marchetti Krantz (MMK) procedure was originally described and involved suspending the urethral wall and periurethral tissues to the pubic symphysis [12]. The mechanistic defect corrected by this procedure was that as the urethra descends in the absence of support, the transfer of urethral pressure becomes imbalanced with a negative gradient seen on urethral pressure profile and the patient leaks.…”

“…The use of bone fi xation techniques for management of SUI was introduced with the MMK procedure, in which the urethra is secured to the posterior surface of the pubic symphysis [14]. Leach [15] described the use of suprapubic bone fi xation as a modifi cation of the retropubic suspension procedures.…”

The gold standard treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the autologous rectus fascia pubovaginal sling. Although successful, it is associated with increased morbidity related to the graft harvest. Because of this, less invasive techniques were developed, including the retropubic and trans-obturator midurethral sling and the bone-anchored sling (BAS). Early reported outcome failures and concern for bone-anchored-related complications caused BAS to fall out of favor. However, technique modifications and use of a more durable graft or mesh have proven that the transvaginal placement of BAS is actually safe and effective in treating patients with SUI. Further, recent evidence suggests that the bone-anchored sling may be a reasonable option for treatment of patients with moderate to severe and/or recurrent SUI.
