Abstract:
Suburethral slings (or tapes) placed by a transobturator approach may be an alternative to established retropubic tension-free vaginal tapes. Comparisons are hampered by the number of available systems. Injury of the bladder, bowel and major vessels appears less frequent with transobturator systems whereas vaginal tape erosion and infectious complications appear to be more common. Results of adequately powered randomized trials are not yet available.
