PURPOSE: The inguinovaginal sling procedure is well accepted for surgical treatment of female stress urinary @entity322 . Although the functional results are excellent, the operative @entity130 is higher compared to that of more recently used minimally invasive techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A modified inguinovaginal sling procedure was performed in 15 @entity1 with urodynamically diagnosed @entity1690 . With the assistance of a laparoscope, two fascial strips were dissected using two small suprapubic skin incisions. The pullthrough maneuver of the fascial slings was facilitated by opening the perivesical space with an inflatable balloon. RESULTS: There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Mean follow-up of 7.7 months (range 4 to 11) was available in all @entity1 . @entity3142 was cured in 14 @entity1 ; only one @entity1 reported using one pad per day. All @entity1 were able to void spontaneously after a mean of 8 days (range 6 to 10). CONCLUSIONS: The laparoscopically assisted inguinovaginal sling procedure is less invasive than the original technique. Good long-term results are known from the original inguinovaginal sling procedure, and there is no need for allografts or synthetic material.
