Methods: A cohort study of 146 consecutive women who underwent the Serasis\u00ae MUS procedure from January 2013 to January 2014 was investigated. All patients had SUI as the main complaint. Patients with predominant urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) and stage III-IV pelvic organ prolapse were excluded. Clinical, intraoperative, and postoperative data were retrospectively retrieved from a computerized database. At 10 years postoperatively, a follow-up telephone survey was conducted. The patients were interviewed regarding tape-related complications, repeated SUI surgery, and decision regret or satisfaction. Results: All patients underwent the Serasis\u00ae MUS procedure, most of whom also had concomitant colporrhaphies. The mean duration of surgery was 26.03 min, and the mean blood loss was 32.4 cc. All patients were discharged within a few hours after surgery or on the following day. No significant intraoperative or early postoperative complications were reported. Overall, 107 (73.3%) patients were available for the 10-year follow-up, 17 (15.9%) of whom reported symptoms of SUI, but only half of them underwent a repeated MUS. The rate of tape erosion was 1.9%, and no symptoms of tape-related pain were reported. Additionally, 10.3% of the patients were categorized as a subjective failure, most of whom considered persistent UUI as the main reason for dissatisfaction. Conclusions: The long-term outcomes of the transobturator Serasis\u00ae MUS, a partially absorbable soft tape, are favorable and are associated with significantly fewer tape-related complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14103572","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,20]],"date-time":"2025-05-20T08:41:12Z","timestamp":1747730472000},"page":"3572","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Long-Term Outcomes Associated with the Use of a Soft, Partially Absorbable Transobturator Mid-Urethral Tape for the Treatment of Stress Urinary Incontinence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6104-5216","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ronen S.","family":"Gold","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Urogynecology Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lis Women Hospital, Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv University Medical School, Tel Aviv 6423906, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonatan","family":"Neuman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical School, Semmelweis University, 1085 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0934-4240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Menahem","family":"Neuman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Urogynecology Service, Assuta Medical Centers, Ben Gurion University Medical School, Tel Aviv 6971028, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2980-5112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asnat","family":"Groutz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Urogynecology Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Lis Women Hospital, Tel Aviv Medical Center, Tel Aviv University Medical School, Tel Aviv 6423906, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"International Continence Society (2017).
