Introduction
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) affects around one in three women. When symptoms do not improve sufficiently with conservative management, women can be offered surgery. Following the pause on the use of mesh women are increasingly opting for non-mesh continence surgery, with Autologous Fascial Slings (AFS) being one of the surgical treatment options. Newer AFS techniques such as the “Sling on a String” (SOAS) were developed to address concerns about surgical morbidity, operative time and cosmetic results of slings with traditional slings.
Aims
Primary Aim: To analyse short-, medium- and long-term success rates after AFS and compare outcome after primary and secondary SUI surgery.
Secondary Aims: Intra and post-operative complication rates including rates of voiding dysfunction.
