Patients age ranged from 39 to 91 years old, with the average age of(59.2±9.7)years old. 145(45.5%) patients aged ≥60 years old. Among them, 155 (48.6%) patients with moderate SUI, 164(51.4%) with severe SUI.96 cases(30.1%) hypertension, 24(7.5%)diabetes, 2(0.6%)had not given birth, 317(99.4%)patients had given birth more than once. 31(9.7%) coexisting pelvic organ prolapse with POP-Q stage 2 and above. Maximum urinary flow rate ranged 5.2-72.6 ml/s. Cystometric capacity ranged 56.7-1 013.6 ml.

A total of 265 patients were evaluable followed up for 12-24 months, Objective cure rate and subjective cure rate were achieved in 95.8%(254 cases) and 93.6%(248 cases) respectively. POP was cured in 96.8% patients.Postoperative complications were 10.6% groin pain, 4.5% urgency, others including urinary tract infection(3.4%), de novo dysuresia(2.6%), dyspareunia(1.1%), and one case of bladder injury, one case sling erosion and one case scar hyperplasia.Conclusions:Female stress urinary incontinence were mainly in middle-aged and elderly people who had severely psychological quality of life lasting for several years.
