Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine if the trans-obturator tape (TOT; Monarc, American Medical Systems (AMS)), which has been claimed to have similar or improved outcomes to retropubic mid-urethral slings, was equivalent (but not inferior) to the trans-vaginal tape (TVT; Gynecare) by using patient-reported outcomes for the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence.Keywords
