Methods: This study comprised 173 female patients with SUI or mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) with dominant SUI who underwent minisling procedure. All patients had positive cough stress test preoperatively; they were followed up for 3 years after surgery (1, 3, 6, 12 months, and yearly). Results: Total follow-up was 36 months, and mean age 51 years (44–77); 128 (74 %) patients presented SUI and 45 (26 %) MUI. Objective and subjective cure and failure rates were 83.8 % (145 cases), 6.4 % (11 cases), and 9.8 % (17 cases), respectively. There were no differences in cure rates between 1 and 3 years. Mean body mass index was 28.7 (26.1–35.2), and mean operating time 7.9 min. (6.5–11.9). There were no major intraoperative complications. Eleven patients (6.4 %) had de novo urge incontinence that resolved using anticholinergic drugs; no patient had urinary retention. Vaginal mesh extrusion was reported in nine (5.2 %) patients. Conclusions: The minisling system attained high success rates at 3 years’ follow-up. The procedure was easy to learn and has lower complication rate. © 2016, The International Urogynecological Association.EnglishAdultAgedFemaleFollow-Up StudiesGynecologic Surgical ProceduresHumansMiddle AgedOperative TimePostoperative PeriodProspective StudiesStatistics, NonparametricSuburethral SlingsSurgical MeshTime FactorsTreatment OutcomeUltrasonographyUrinary BladderUrinary Incontinence, Stressantiinflammatory agentcholinergic receptor blocking agentadultagedArticleclinical outcomecoughingfemalefollow uphumanincisioninguinal painmajor clinical studymedical device complicationmixed incontinencemulticenter studypostoperative analgesiapostoperative carepostoperative complicationpostoperative infectionpostoperative painpreoperative periodpriority journalprospective studyrecurrent infectionstress incontinencesuburethral slingsuburethral sling procedureurge incontinenceurinary tract infectionurinary tract surgeryvaginal mesh extrusionadverse effectsbladderclinical trialdiagnostic imagingechographyevaluation studygynecologic surgerymiddle agednonparametric testoperation durationpostoperative periodproceduressuburethral slingsurgical meshtime factortreatment outcomeUrinary Incontinence, StressArticle10.1007/s00192-016-3001-0
