Comparing Minisling to Tension Free Vaginal Tape in Mangement of Stress Urinary Incontinence

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Interventions
Procedure: tension free vaginal tape
Procedure: single incision minisling
Registration Number
NCT02263534
Lead Sponsor
Ain Shams University
Brief Summary

Based on previous studies the single incision minisling is an easy less invasive procedure with fewer complications and cure rate similar to conventional midurethral slings in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the single incision mini-sling placed in the "U" position is not inferior to TVT in this patient population.
