Methods RCT of Monarc system and TOT system
Participants 93 women having urodynamic evaluation
Interventions Group A: Monarc TOT (n = 48)
Group B: TOT (n = 45)
Outcomes Outcomes assessed 12 months postoperatively
  • Subjective cure

  • Voiding dysfunction

  • Tape erosion

Notes Monarc is outside‐to‐in TOT with open edge polypropylene mesh that contains an absorbable tensioning suture threaded into the length of the mesh. The tension free obturator tape (TOT) system used here is the same outside‐in type, but has a closed edge polypropylene mesh without absorbable tensioning suture
