Summary

This study follows about 200 women who had surgery for stress urinary incontinence using the GYNECARE TVT EXACT sling. Researchers want to see if the sling still works 5 to 10 years later by checking if a cough still causes leaking. They also ask women about their symptoms, quality of life, and pain. The goal is to make sure the device is safe and effective over the long term.
