    ResumenAntecedentesLas mallas para la incontinencia urinaria (IU) se han utilizado a pesar de la falta de evidencia de nivel i en la literatura para evaluar su seguridad y eficacia a largo plazo. Las complicaciones relacionadas con la malla provocaron una advertencia emitida por la FDA en 2008 y dejaron de ser consideradas eventos raros. Las complicaciones m谩s comunes son la retenci贸n aguda de orina, sangrado, recurrencia o persistencia de la IU, erosi贸n de uretra e infecci贸n de la malla.ObjetivoConocer cu谩les son las complicaciones derivadas del tratamiento quir煤rgico de la IU femenina con la colocaci贸n de mallas suburetrales.Material y m茅todoSe analizaron los pacientes con diagn贸stico de IU operadas con cirug铆a antiincontinencia y colocaci贸n de malla vaginal del a帽o 2007 al 2014. Se analiz贸 las complicaciones derivadas de la colocaci贸n de malla y la recuperaci贸n de continencia.ResultadosA 58 pacientes se les coloc贸 sling (cabestrillo) con malla sint茅tica; edad promedio de 56 a帽os. El 51% de las pacientes ten铆an IU de esfuerzo y el 49% IU mixta. Las complicaciones tempranas fueron: 4 pacientes con retenci贸n aguda de orina. Las complicaciones tard铆as: dolor uretral o vaginal (12.2%), dispareunia (20%) y extrusi贸n de malla (10%) manejado con retiro de la misma, 2 de ellas requiriendo 2 procedimientos quir煤rgicos. El 12% presentaron urgencia de novo, el 90.2% evolucionaron sin incontinencia, el 9.7% con IU postoperatoria y 2 pacientes sin mejor铆a.Discusi贸nNuestra serie, aunque peque帽a, muestra una baja tasa de complicaciones a largo plazo relacionadas con la malla en comparaci贸n con la mayor铆a de las series que muestran una tasa de reoperaci贸n de hasta>70% y con m煤ltiples casos de retiro de malla, por lo que en nuestra experiencia los slings suburetrales contin煤an siendo una opci贸n adecuada en el manejo de la IU.ConclusionesLos slings suburetrales son una opci贸n segura y efectiva en el manejo de la IU.AbstractBackgroundSurgical mesh has been used for treating urinary incontinence (UI) despite the lack of level i evidence in the literature evaluating its long-term safety and efficacy. Mesh-related complications were responsible for a warning issued by the FDA in 2008 and they stopped being considered rare events. The most common complications are acute urinary retention, bleeding, recurrence or persistence of UI, erosion of the urethra, and mesh infection.AimsTo determine the complications derived from surgical UI treatment with the placement of suburethral mesh in women.Material and methodPatients diagnosed with UI that underwent anti-incontinence surgery with the placement of vaginal mesh within the time frame of 2007 and 2014 were analyzed. Mesh placement complications and the recovery of continence were evaluated.ResultsA synthetic mesh sling was placed in 58 patients with a mean age of 56 years. A total of 51% of the patients had stress urinary incontinence and 49% had mixed urinary incontinence. Early complications were: 4 patients with acute urine retention. Late complications were: urethral or vaginal pain (12.2%), dyspareunia (20%), and mesh extrusion (10%) that was managed through mesh removal; 2 of those patients required surgical procedures. Twelve percent of the patients presented with de novo urgency, 90.2% progressed with no incontinence, 9.7% presented with postoperative UI, and 2 patients had no improvement.DiscussionAlthough small, our case series showed a low long-term complication rate with the use of surgical mesh, compared with the majority of case series that demonstrate a re-operation rate>70%, as well as numerous cases of mesh removal. Thus, it is our experience that suburethral slings continue to be an adequate UI management option.ConclusionsSuburethral slings are a safe and effective option in UI management
