Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Standardised pad test: "cure" is defined as less than 1g gain in pad weight over the duration of the test

Secondary Outcome Measures

Subjective evidence of cure
Incontinence-related quality of life (UDI-6, IIQ-7)
Sexual function (PISQ-12)
Satisfaction with surgical outcome
Patients will be asked about the expectations they had before surgery, and asked if the outcome had met expectations. Women will be asked about satisfaction with the surgical outcome, if they would have the same operation again under the same circumstances, and if they would recommend the same operation to someone else with the same problem.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This randomized multi-centre trial will recruit women with stress urinary incontinence who need surgical treatment for their condition. 300 women will be allocated either to receive a TVT Secur or a standard TVT surgical procedure. The main outcome is effectiveness of the procedure, determined using a 1-hour pad test (which tests for urine leakage) 12 months after surgery. The study will be carried out in 4 to 6 centers and will involve urogynaecologists, urologists and general obstetrician-gynaecologists: all clinicians will have received adequate training.
