Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Effectiveness [One year]
Percentage of patients who are regarded as cured or improved one-year after surgery with both techniques based on the following criteria: CURED: negative cough stress test and patient must be fully satisfied with the operation (no leaks, no voiding dysfunction, and no use of urinary protection); Patient Global Impresison of Improvement (PGI-I) scale must be "Very much better". IMPROVED: cough stress test had to be negative and the patient moderately satisfied with the result of surgery due to an increase in urinary frequency and/or sporadic urgency episodes; PGI-I must be "Much better" or "A little better".
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with adverse events [Up to one year.]
Comparison of the intra- and postoperative complications between both procedures.
Other Outcome Measures
- Change in subjective questionnaires of incontinence severity [One year]
Change in the punctuation of the following questionnaires comparing before surgery and one year after operation: International consultation on Incontinence Urinary Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Sandvik severity index.
