Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

The aim of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of the Solyx single-incision sling (SIS) in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Methods

A retrospective study of 63 women who had undergone implantation at three medical centers (December–March 2009) was conducted.

Results

Mean patient age was 51 years (range, 30–87 years); 37 (59%) patients had concomitant urogynecological procedures. At a mean follow-up of 6.5 months (range, 5–8 months), 95% of patients were dry on the basis of subjective and objective assessment. Two patients experienced transient urinary retention, which resolved spontaneously. No complications of the procedure were reported, including no bladder, bowel, vessel, or nerve perforations and no erosions or extrusions. No pain was reported that was attributed to the implant.

Conclusions

The very early efficacy results indicate that the Solyx SIS system is an attractive treatment option for SUI. The minimal number of steps involved in the procedure will facilitate uptake of the technique.
