Popis: OBJECTIVE: To compare postoperative pain scores and assess efficacy between an adjustable single-incision sling and a standard transobturator sling for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). METHODS: This single-blinded randomized controlled trial involved 156 women with clinically proven SUI. Women were allocated to receive either an adjustable single-incision or a transobturator sling. The primary outcome was postoperative pain score on a visual analog scale. Secondary outcomes were objective and subjective cure rates at 12 months, symptom bother scores, quality of life, and complications. RESULTS: The mean pain score in the first week postoperatively was significantly lower at all time points in the adjustable single-incision sling group compared with the transobturator sling group. Maximum difference in pain score was reported on the evening of the day of surgery; median pain score was 1.0 (interquartile range 2.0) in the adjustable sling group and 3.0 (interquartile range 4.5) in the transobturator sling group (Mann Whitney U test P
