We divided the patients into two study groups (group A and group B), characterized by normal and obstructed flow at least 30\u2009days after the surgical procedure visit, respectively. We performed a translabial ultrasound evaluation to assess the suburethral localization of the sling. On the longitudinal scan, the distance between the bladder neck and the suburethral sling was &gt;10\u2009mm in all patients in group A (16.7\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6).
