Comparison of long-term outcomes of autologous fascia lata slings with suspend Tutoplast fascia lata allograft slings for stress incontinence

Article Abstract:

The objective and subjective long-term surgical outcomes in patients receiving Tutoplast fascia allograft slings with those receiving autograft slings for treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are compared. The results revealed that although patient reported cure of SUI is high for both sling types, USI recurs at a significantly higher rate in Tutoplast slings compared with autologous slings.
