Hybrid Transobturator Tape vs Standard Synthetic TOT for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Official title: Hybrid Transobturator Tape Versus Conventional Synthetic Tape: A Randomized Controlled Trial Assessing Safety, Efficacy, and Female Sexual Function

Run by Benha University · NCT07762300 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This randomized trial tests whether a hybrid tape made from autologous tissue and polypropylene mesh works as well or better than a standard synthetic transobturator tape in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women with genuine stress urinary incontinence who have not responded to pelvic floor exercises or medications and meet eligibility criteria.

Probably not a fit

Individuals with mixed incontinence with a strong urge component, significant pelvic organ prolapse, neurogenic bladder, active infection, prior incontinence surgery, recent pelvic radiotherapy, or coagulopathy may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This study compares two surgical options for stress urinary incontinence in women: a novel hybrid transobturator tape combining autologous fascia with mesh, and the conventional synthetic transobturator tape. Participants are randomized to receive one of the two procedures, and outcomes include safety, efficacy, and effects on female sexual function. The trial targets women who have not benefited from conservative treatments and meet specific health criteria, with follow-up to assess continence and any adverse events. It is conducted at Benha University Hospital under Benha University as lead sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the hybrid tape could provide similar or improved continence results with acceptable safety and potential effects on sexual function compared with the standard tape.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research in different settings has explored mixed-material slings, but this specific hybrid approach in this exact population is relatively novel and its success remains to be demonstrated.
