Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multi-centre randomized controlled trial comparing mid-urethral synthetic mesh sling or tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and autologous fascia sling (AFS) in elderly patients with stress predominant urinary incontinence. The investigators aim to investigate new onset pelvic pain 6 months post-op and objective urinary incontinence cure rate 5 years post-op. Secondary objectives include investigation of opioid use, mental health, sexual health, and other post-op outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adult females at birth (female anatomy, any gender)
* Greater than or equal to 60 years old
* Have stress predominant urinary incontinence (spUI) eligible for both types of surgery (tension-free vaginal tape and autologous fascia sling)
* Exhausted conservative management options for UI (Kegel's exercises, physiotherapy, pessary)
* Completed childbearing
* Able to follow up with clinic visits for up to five years after surgery

Exclusion Criteria

* Clinical Frailty Score of 6 or more, as moderate frailty is likely associated with excessive postoperative deterioration
* Concurrent pelvic surgery
* Neurogenic bladder
* Previous UI surgery
* Previous pelvic radiation
* Previous mesh exposure
* Presence of pelvic pain for more than three months in the last five years
* Likely unable to follow up
* Immunocompromised individuals receiving immunosuppressive medications for at least 3 months
* Chronic systemic steroid use for at least 3 months for autoimmune diseases
* Unable to stop smoking for at least 3 months prior to surgery and at high risk of restart smoking post-operatively
