Özet
We developed a cost-effective procedure for genuine stress incontinence (GSI) that has the advantages of the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT). The midurethral polypropylene sling procedure (MPS) is carried out under local anaesthesia. A self-fashioned sling (7.5 x 1 cm) was created from a polypropylene mesh with two lengthening polypropylene sutures at the ends. The sutures are carried through the rectus fascia using a needle and the sling is placed around the urethra. Ten patients underwent the MPS and were followed up for a mean of 6.2 months. All patients were cured. The short-term results of the MPS were comparable to those of the TVT. The procedure costs approximately US$9. We conclude that the MPS can be considered as an alternative to the TVT procedure.
