Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the outcomes for the Lynx® midurethral sling system in the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence (USI). Prospective study of 118 subjects who underwent a Lynx® midurethral sling procedure for USI. Subjects were considered cured if they were subjectively dry by history and objectively dry by standing stress test. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were documented. Complete information was available on 102 (86%) subjects at 1 year. Ninety-two patients were considered cured, and ten were failures. There were four intraoperative bladder perforations and five (4.2%) erosions. Two patients developed urinary retention with one resolving at 31 days and the other undergoing subsequent takedown at 6 months. Both remain dry at 12 months. The Lynx® midurethral sling system shows high subjective and objective success rates for the treatment of USI at 1 year with low rates of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
