Before surgery, patients were evaluated by physical examination, translabial ultrasonography, cystoscopy, urodynamics, 1\u2009hr pad test and compilation of quality\u2010of\u2010life questionnaire. Postoperatively, based on the physical examination and pad test, patients were stratified into three groups: (i) Cured: perfectly dry patients at stress test, pad weight 0\u20131\u2009g; (ii) Improved: patients with mild to moderate incontinence, pad weight 2\u201350\u2009g; and (iii) Failed: unchanged or worsened patients, pad weight &gt;50\u2009g.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>At 7\u2010years mean follow\u2010up, 45 (90.0%) patients were cured, three (6.0%) were improved, and two (4.0%) had failed. Concerning the mean total score of the quality\u2010of\u2010life questionnaire, it increased significantly up to 87.1\u2009\u00b1\u20095.9 with an improvement of 76.9%. Sling tension readjustment was needed in three patients (6%). The incontinence\u2010free survival curve showed that, after sling positioning and tension readjustments, all the cured patients remained continent during all the follow\u2010up. Complications were represented by bacterial cystitis (6%), de novo urgency (10%), persistent urinary retention (6%), and seroma formation (2%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our 7\u2010year results showed the efficacy of the Remeex procedure in the treatment of SUI due to ISD.
