Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subjective Cure of Urinary Incontinence at 12 Months After Surgery12 months

Composite outcome defined as absence of urinary incontinence as indicated by the Incontinence Severity Index score of 0 and the absence of any additional surgical or nonsurgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after the index surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Long Term Complications > 6 Weeks6 weeks-12 months
Patient Global Impression Improvement12 months
Post Operative Complications at 6 Week or Less6 week
Incontinence Severity Index Score12 months

The incontinence severity index comprises the following two questions. How often do you experience urine leakage (0=never, 1=less than once a month, 2=one or several times a month, 3=one or several times a week, 4=every day and/or night)? How much urine do you lose each time (1=drops or little, 2=more)? The total score is the score for the first question multiplied by the score for the second question (0=dry, 1-2=slight, 3-4=moderate, 6-8=severe).
