OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a generic tape tailored from type 1 monofilamentous, macroporous @entity7502 mesh during transobturator tape (TOT) surgery. METHODS: A prospective study was performed in a tertiary center in Cairo, Egypt, between July 2004 and December 2013. @entity1 with stress @entity322 scheduled for TOT surgery using the outside-in technique were recruited. Monarc tape was used in all @entity1 until November 2005, after which it was used for @entity1 who could afford it only; generic tape was used in the other @entity1 . The primary outcome measures were the objective and subjective cure rates. RESULTS: Overall, 431 @entity1 were included in analyses. After 5years of follow-up, objective cure was achieved in 143 (94.1%) of 152 @entity1 who received Monarc tape and 249 (89.2%) of 279 who received the generic tape (P=0.135). Subjective cure was achieved in 121 (79.6%) @entity1 who received the Monarc tape and 236 (84.6%) @entity1 who received the generic tape (P=0.229). There were no significant between-group differences in postoperative urgency, de novo urgency, urge @entity322 , @entity409 , urinary retention, @entity365 , or the frequency of TOT-related reoperation or repeat anti- @entity322 procedures. CONCLUSION: The TOT outside-in procedure can be easily, safely, and effectively performed in low-resource settings using a generic @entity7502 tape.
