The sequential outcomes and urodynamic findings were comparing and analyzed.
Results: The rates of subjective cure was 82% and 80.7% in Group I and II, 100% in Group 3, p=NS. The rates of objective cure was 90%, 92.6% and 50%, for each group p=NS. The transobturator procedure was the most done in group I and II, 52% and 48.6%, and retropubic procedure in group III 62.5%. The length of hospital stay (3 days) in Group III, p=0.018.
