| Abstract | Hypothesis / aims of study Since the 1990’s, when the tension-free vaginal tapes (TVT) or midurethral slings (MUS) were first introduced, the use of synthetic materials to surgically treat female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has dramatically increased and overtaken the former Burch colposuspension. However, in the past 5-10 years, the possible, sometimes irreversible, complications of tapes (e.g. obstruction, pain, dyspareunia, erosion) have received more and more attention. Notifications were issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008 and 2011, and the problem was recognised by the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK with withdrawal of mesh in some countries e.g. Scotland. A number of websites were created from patients’ experiences, reaching the attention of the general public. (1) In this retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate the trend in patients’ preference for type of female SUI surgery as a measure of the impact of the social awareness of mesh-related complications on daily Female Urology and Urogynaecology practice when dealing with female SUI. |
