Ogah J et al. – There is some evidence to suggest that operations using certain types of tape materials (type 1 meshes) are more effective with fewer complications (such as infections and tape erosions into the vagina or urethra) than other types. There are two ways of carrying out these operations, either behind the pubic bone or through the groin. Those passing behind the pubic bone are more effective and longer follow–up results are available, but they result in more problems with passing urine after operation and more cases of bladder injury. A major limitation is that long term follow–up data for the effectiveness of many of these procedures are lacking.
