Sling location was determined by means of pelvic floor ultrasound, and calculated relative to the individual patient's urethral length measured before the procedure. The sling location was visualized on 1 day, and 1 and 6 months post\u2010surgery. Overweight\/obese and elderly patients were analyzed separately to assess the possible influence of those factors on sling location.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean urethral length in the studied cohort was 28.76 \u00b1 3.67 mm. The mean tape position 1 day post\u2010surgery was 66.18 \u00b1 8.43% of the urethral length, and it did not change 1 and 6 months post\u2010surgery in the whole group.
