13 Short-, mid-, and long-term incontinence outcomes in women undergoing mid-urethral sling procedures J. Malek, L. M. Kissane, K. D. Martin, I. Meyer, T. C. Powell, H. E. Richter OB/GYN, UAB, Birmingham, AL, Epidemiology, UAB, Birmingham, AL, Urogynecology, Novant Health, Charlotte, NC OBJECTIVES: The primary aim was to compare short-, mid-, and long-term subjective treatment success in women undergoing MUS for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
