| Methods | RCT of TVT compared with autologous fascia lata pubovaginal sling. Single centre | |
| Participants | 67 women with SUI were randomised. Basline comparison of age, menopause status, parity, SUI, mixed incontinence and intrinsic sphincter dysfunction were made Inclusion criteria: type II‐IV SUI, mixed SUI, intrinsic sphincter dysfunction, or failed previous operations Mixed incontinence was included in this study |
