Findings before and a minimum of 6 months after sling placement were compared. \u201cCure\u201d was defined as no pad usage or the use of 1 pad for security; \u201cimprovement\u201d was defined as a reduction in daily pad use by &gt;50%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>After a mean (\u00b1SD) follow\u2010up of 9.75 \u00b1 3.51 months, 62.5% of patients were cured, 18.75% were improved, and 18.75% were still incontinent.
