Sumario:INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The objective of this study was the assessment of the efficiency of the MiniArc for curing stress urinary incontinence. METHODS: Seventy-seven patients, operated on from March 2008 to November 2009, were evaluated in this study. One-year post-operative data are presented. All patients suffered from predominant stress urinary incontinence. After 1 year, response was 74%. Evaluation was performed using a questionnaire consisting of the EuroQol-5 Dimensions, the Patient Global Impression of Improvement, the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, the Urinary Distress Inventory, the Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire, short form, and the Defecation Distress Inventory. RESULTS: One year after surgery, 68% of the patients stated an improvement in their incontinence status, while only 44% stated to be completely dry. CONCLUSION: The 1-year follow-up suggests that the MiniArc is less effective in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence than the TVT.
