Patients had SUI for 25.42 months before they decided to undergo surgery . Out of 59 patient , 38 patient cured (ICIQ=0 ), 18 improved (ICIQ <12), 3 had no improvement. Female sexual function improved overall and  in all domains , according to FSFI scoring  . In long term three patient had mesh erosion and underwent mesh release or excision.

CONCLUSION
