[Suburethral sling for stress urinary incontinence] Buenos Aires: Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS). Informe de Respuesta Rápida N° 273. 2012 Authors' objectives To assess the available evidence on the efficacy, safety and coverage policy related aspects for the use of sling in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Authors' conclusions There is evidence of good methodological quality showing that sling techniques, at short term, would be as effective as Burch surgery, in terms of clinically reported incontinence, for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. There is no medium or long-term evidence. No significant differences were found among the existing sling techniques in terms of efficacy but they have difference degrees of safety profiles. Both the clinical practice guidelines and the coverage policies endorse the use of suburethral slings when conventional treatments have failed.
