To describe the characteristics of treated patients and assess the results obtained.
All patients (n = 162) who underwent this technique between June 2005 and December 2010 at the Hospital de Fuenlabrada were included.
The mean age was 51.64 years, mean body max index was 28.92 kg/m2 and the mean number of vaginal deliveries was 2.31. Urodynamic diagnosis was performed in 96.3 % , with findings of pure stress incontinence in 68.5 % , mixed incontinence and stress incontinence in 25.9 % . Intraoperative complications occurred in 3.1 % . Mesh erosions were found in 1.2 % . The overall objective cure rate was 92 % and the subjective cure rate was 80.3 % .
The complications rate was low and all complications were resolved. Cure rates were highly satisfactory both in pure stress urinary incontinence and in mixed urinary incontinence with a predominance of stress incontinence. Urodynamic studies before surgery allow good surgical indications and guide postsurgical prognosis.
