Subjective cure is evaluated with PGI-I instrument. Patients who give 'much better' or 'better' response to the PGI question are considered subjectively cured.
Time frame: 1-11 years
Tape localization
Length of urethra, length of mesh, distance between urethra and mesh, distance between mesh and bladder neck will be measured. The correlation between these parameters and surgical success will be evaluated
Time frame: 1-11 years
Quality of life(QoL) after surgery
Impact of surgery on quality of life will be evaluated by QoL questionnaire
Time frame: 1-11 years
Patient satisfaction
Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a 10-points Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) that ranged from ''complete achievement of my goal'' (10 points) to ''no achievement of my goal'' (0 points). Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) and VAS scale correlation will be evaluated.
Time frame: 1-11 years
