Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) accounts for approximately 50% of incontinence occurrences in women (1). Several surgical techniques, including urethropexy, needle-assisted bladder neck suspension, and colposuspension have been used to treat SUI. In 1995, Ulmsten et al (2) introduced the tension-free vaginal tape procedure (TVT), utilizing a suburethral retropubic sling made out of synthetic material.
