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

Damage to bladder, urinary retention, difficulty voiding
Incontinent at 3 months: A: 1/19, B: 3/48
Not improved at 3 months A: 0/19, B: 0/48
Operative time (SD): A: 125 (13), B: 27 (5) min
Mean length of hospital stay: A: 7.2, B: 1.8 ds
