Bladder neck pubovaginal slings

Alexander Gomelsky et al. Expert Rev Med Devices. 2005 May.

Abstract

Over the past 30 years, the pubovaginal sling has surpassed retropubic and transvaginal suspensions as the most common surgical operation for correcting stress urinary incontinence. This resurgence has been due in part to innovative technological advances that have shortened operative times and expedited postoperative recovery. The introduction of novel allografts, xenografts and synthetic materials has also been accompanied by unique complications, previously not encountered with autologous materials. The aim of this review is to compare the available sling materials in the context of biocompatibility and efficacy.
