ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background

The emergence of the needle-free sling has led to a new clinical treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women.

Research motivation

Explore the new treat in stress urinary incontinence.

Research objectives

Analyzed the clinical value of the needle-free sling is further in this paper.

Research methods

Choose 44 patients in the mid-suspension group treated by tension-free transobturator urethral suspension, and 44 patients in the non-acupuncture group.

Research results

There was no significant difference between the two groups in the total clinical effectiveness rate, but the intraoperative blood loss and the postoperative 1 d visual analogue scale score were significantly lower in the non-acupuncture suspension group than in the middle urethral suspension group. The incidence of complications in the needle-free sling group was significantly lower than that in the middle urethral suspension group.

Research conclusions

The needleless sling had the advantages of fewer complications, a shorter operative time and milder postoperative pain in patients, which could be actively promoted.

Research perspectives

The concept of minimally invasive and people-oriented should be widely used in clinical nursing.
