Due to embarrassment, most women do not seek medical attention for this condition. The treatment of this problem includes preventive therapies, and in the more advanced stage of urinary incontinence, surgery is a solution. Despite doubts regarding the implantation of urological tapes, the use of tension-free minimally invasive methods constitutes the \u201cgold standard\u201d in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. Objective: The purpose of this article was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultralight, polypropylene urogynecological tape (Dallop\u00ae NM ULTRALIGHT, Tricomed S.A., Poland) in the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence. Methods: This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study. The included women were adults with stress urinary incontinence (Grade 2 with a positive cough test or Grade 3) or had mixed urinary incontinence and who had undergone \u201cretropubic\u201d or \u201ctransobturator\u201d surgery and completed a postoperative follow-up. Results: The study included 68 women from three hospitals. All women completed &lt;6-month and &gt;6-month follow-ups. The median age was 55 (range 36\u201380). The average value of BMI in the \u201cretropubic\u201d group was 28.6 \u00b1 5.58, and in the \u201ctransobturator\u201d group, it was 26.1 \u00b1 4.60. Sixty-three percent (63%, n = 43) of patients were operated on using the \u201ctransobturator\u201d method, while thirty-seven percent (37%, n = 25) were operated on using the \u201cretropubic\u201d method. Both the \u201cretropubic\u201d and \u201ctransobturator\u201d groups had comparable results in the treatment of SUI. The study showed efficiencies of 84% for the \u201ctransobturator\u201d method and 80% for the \u201cretropubic\u201d method. In the \u201cretropubic\u201d group, intraoperative complications were reported in three patients (7%), in comparison to none in the \u201ctransobturator\u201d group. There were no tape-related adverse events or infections reported in any case. Conclusions: The presented research confirms the safety and efficacy of retropubic and transobturator tape methods in both short- and long-term follow-up\u2014the success rate was over 80%. In addition to the surgical method used, the experience of the surgeons also has an impact on the final outcome of the surgery. The conducted multi-center study offers the opportunity to eliminate the influence of the human factor on the effectiveness of the procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11226656","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]],"date-time":"2022-11-10T02:07:48Z","timestamp":1668046068000},"page":"6656","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Clinical Outcomes of Mid-Urethral Sling (MUS) Procedures for the Treatment of Female Urinary Incontinence: A Multicenter Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Karolina","family":"Chmaj-Wierzchowska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Polna 33, 60-535 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9196-8548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Raba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University of Rzeszow, Monte Cassino 18, 37-700 Przemysl, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piotr","family":"Dykczy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diagnostic and Treatment Center \u201cBarska\u201d Ltd., Barska 13, 87-806 Wloclawek, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maciej","family":"Wilczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Maternal and Child Health, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Polna 33, 60-535 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6250-092X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karolina","family":"Turlakiewicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Material Science of Textiles and Polymer Composites, Lodz University of Technology, \u017beromskiego 116, 90-924 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ilona","family":"Lata\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tricomed S.A., Swietojanska 5\/9, 93-493 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Witold","family":"Sujka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tricomed S.A., Swietojanska 5\/9, 93-493 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Abrams, P., Cardozo, L., Wagg, A., and Wein, A.
