Abstract

AIM Recently a miniature version of the Monarc suburethral sling has been introduced. This paper aims to evaluate the postoperative recovery, effectiveness and complications of these two types of suburethral sling. METHODS This was a prospective randomized series of 50 female patients with stress incontinence who underwent either a Monarc or Miniarc suburethral sling. RESULTS The only significant intraoperative difference was a shorter operation time for the Miniarc (18.8 vs 22.4 min). The success rates were similar at 6 weeks and 6 months. CONCLUSION There were no significant differences between the Miniarc and Monarc, except for a significantly shorter Miniarc sling operating time.
