The main risk factors for failure after single-incision slings are reduced urethral mobility and stress urinary incontinence severity in long-term follow-up.
The medical records of the 132 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative assessment included medical history and urogynecological examination. Patients were asked to answer validated questionnaires such as Urinary Distress Inventory (UDI-6) and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7). Objective cure of SUI was defined as the absence of demonstrable leakage of urine on the cough stress test. Subjective cure was based on negative response to UDI-6, question 3. Patients were divided according to objective cure rate into two groups: cured (Group A) and failed patients (Group B).
