Abstract: To assess the effectiveness and safety ofinside-out (TVT-O) vs. outside-in transobturator-tape procedures (TOT) in the surgical management of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI).A total of 8 randomized controlled trials were retrieved from the literature and analyzed by metaanalysis with RevMan 5.0 software.Meta-analysis showed that no statistical differences existed in objective cure rate,objective failure,postoperative voiding dysfunction,groin/thigh pain and sling exposure in both procedures (P ＞ 0.05).These preliminary results suggest there is no evidence of significant differences in the efficacy and safety between TVT-O and TOT.
