Background:

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most prevalent form of urinary incontinence.
SUI management involves surgical therapies to enhance suburethral support and urethral resistance.
Understanding SUI pathophysiology drives the development of effective surgical treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy and advantages of the pubovaginal sling (PVS) procedure for SUI treatment.
To compare different materials used in PVS surgery.
To highlight the benefits of autologous PVS over other graft materials.

Main Methods:

Review of surgical management techniques for SUI.
Focus on the pubovaginal sling (PVS) procedure.

Keywords:

Analysis of various graft materials: autologous, allograft, xenograft, and synthetic.

Main Results:

The PVS procedure restores urethral resistance and coaptation, preventing incontinence during stress and improving resting function.
Autologous PVS demonstrates the highest success rates among PVS surgical methods.
Autologous grafts avoid tissue reactions and have a low incidence of material-related complications compared to allografts and xenografts.

Conclusions:

The pubovaginal sling (PVS) is a highly effective surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Autologous tissue is the preferred material for PVS due to superior outcomes and safety profile.
PVS surgery offers a durable solution for SUI by restoring urethral function.
