Summary

This study compares two surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence in women aged 60 and older: a synthetic mesh sling (TVT) and a sling made from the patient's own tissue (autologous fascia). Researchers will track new pelvic pain at 6 months and cure rates at 5 years, along with opioid use and mental health. The goal is to find which approach offers better long-term results with fewer side effects.
