Abstract Introduction and hypothesis  Midurethral sling (MUS) is now the first line surgical treatment for female stress urinary incontinence. Our aim was to identify predictors for MUS failure. Methods  A total of 1,225 consecutive women with urodynamic urinary stress incontinence had a synthetic MUS (955 retropubic and 270 transobturator) at our institution between 1999 and 2007. Multivariate analysis was performed in order to identify independent risk factors for failure. Results and conclusions  At a mean follow-up of 50 ± 24 months (range, 12–114), the subjec...

Conclusions  While the anatomical recurrence rates for cystocele following traditional anterior colporrhaphy might be high, the low reoperation rate at more than 4 years (3.4%) suggests that patient's symptoms might not be bothersome enough to require further surgery. Both subjective and anatomical outcomes are required to assess the outcome of both traditional and new prolapse procedures.
