Abstract
BACKGROUND: Fascial sling and the colposuspension were considered standard operations in the therapy of female stress urinary incontinence until the mid-1990s. New surgical procedures were compared with these techniques in regard to cure rate and long-term results. RESULTS: Nowadays fascial slings are rarely performed. Colposuspension - despite comparable results - was replaced by tension-free tapes as the new gold standard. This is not due to lower efficacy, but predominantly due to reduced surgical trauma, simple use, and rapid convalescence. However, in cases of recurrence and the combined treatment of prolapse, colposuspension is still used.
