Summary

This study looked at women with pelvic organ prolapse who also had hidden (occult) stress urinary incontinence — leakage that doesn't show up on standard tests. The goal was to see if placing a TOT sling during prolapse surgery could prevent incontinence from appearing later. The trial was terminated early and only 21 women took part, so the results are not strong enough to guide routine care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Tension-free vaginal tape (TOT) sling
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a preventive sling during prolapse surgery reduces the chance of developing stress incontinence later.
What could go wrong: The trial was terminated early and enrolled only 21 women, so results are very limited. The approach may not work for everyone and carries surgical risks like mesh complications.
