Obturator medial‐to‐lateral approach vs obturator lateral‐to‐medial approach

Vaginal tape erosion · women with stress urinary incontinence

It is very uncertain whether obturator medial‐to‐lateral approach changes vaginal tape erosion (short and medium term, up to 5 years) compared with obturator lateral‐to‐medial approach (very low certainty).
