Introduction. The implantation of a synthetic sub-urethral sling is the main method of surgical correction of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, the investigation results of long-term effectiveness indicate the ambiguity of the surgery outcomes. In addition, the problem of pain in the perineum remains relevant for everyday practice. One of the important aspects in this matter may be a variant technique for installing a suburethral sling, including based on the anatomical variability of the small pelvis.Purpose of the study. To identify key anatomical factors that can negatively affect the effectiveness and safety of the environment of suburethral sling surgery for urinary incontinence in women.Materials and methods. The study consisted of 2 parts - anatomical and clinical. In the anatomical part of the study, a suburethral sling was implanted on 20 preparations of a female pelvis with a lower limb and preserved soft tissues. The clinical part of the study involved 50 patients with stress urinary incontinence. These patients underwent installation of a transobturator suburethral sling in two ways using the “inside-out” technique: using the standard “external landmarks” technique and using the proposed anatomical technique developed in the first part of the study. After visualization of the suburethral sling using the original method, the outcomes of the operations were assessed depending on the location of the sling in the patient's tissues.Results. In the anatomical part of the study, the most atraumatic method of suburethral sling implantation was determined by rotating the tool around the lower branch of the pubic bone. In the clinical part of the study, this method demonstrated a higher efficiency of the operation at a follow-up of 1 year, presumably due to the U-shaped angle of the «hammock» for the urethra, which is characteristic of the retropubic sling.Conclusion. Outcomes of operations for SUI depend, among other things, on the method of the suburethral sling implantation.

We would like to present two cases of delayed complications of intravaginal slingplasty (IVS) suburethral sling in Penang, Malaysia. There were two patients who were referred to us for problems subsequent to suburethral sling surgery using the IVS sling. These patients were reviewed and subsequently treated. The first patient presented with a bleeding granuloma. She underwent surgery and intra operatively the granuloma was excised. On exploration there was remnant of the tape bilaterally. The tape was easily excised with traction. A diagnostic cystoscopy did not show any abnormality. The second patient presented with a severe sling exposure. This patient also had surgery to excise the sling. It was easily dislodged with traction and removed completely. There were pus collections on one side. On subsequent review both patients were well with no more vaginal bleeding or discharge. Both patients however remained continent. This report is to show IVS sling complications may present in different manner and the need for attending physician to be aware of these presentations. They should be aware of the delayed presentation of these complications.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Voiding dysfunction (VD) is a potential complication after female midurethral sling operations. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> Our goal was to assess the rate of obstructive VD after ­transobturator tension-free tape (TOT) procedures and to find perioperative risk factors (RFs) predicting postoperative voiding problems. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We have retrospectively evaluated the perioperative data of 397 women who underwent TOT operations. Significant post-void residual (PVR) (&#x3e;50 mL) was considered as the primary (objective) end point of the study, the voiding difficulty as the secondary (subjective) 1. First univariate analysis and then multivariate logistic regression were performed, with a 5% significance level. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Significant PVR was present in 51 (12.8%) women; catheterization was needed in 21 (5.3%) and reoperation in 3 (0.8%) cases. Seventy women (17.6%) experienced postoperative voiding difficulty. Narrow vagina (&#x3c;2 cm), older age &#x3e;70 years, and preoperative voiding difficulty were independent RFs for significant PVR (odds ratio: 5.07, 2.14, 5.38, respectively, <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.05). Preoperative overactive bladder syndrome and previous pelvic organ prolapse surgery were considered independent RFs for postoperative voiding difficulty. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Older age, narrow vagina, or preoperative voiding difficulty increases the chance for significant postoperative PVR. These patients should be chosen and counseled appropriately.
