Objective: For the patients with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), we used the polypropylene mesh for pelvic floor repair via transvaginal and the laparoscopic routes respectively. This prospective study compared the differences of the prognosis and the short-long term efficacy between the two surgical procedures. Methods: Thirty cases with proven...
