title: [MiniArc: preliminary prospective study on 72 cases].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a new mini-invasive tape requiring only a single incision, to assess the complications and short-term results.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective study of 72 patients with stress urinary incontinence. Were selected for the study patients with stress urinary incontinence with or without intrinsic sphincter deficiency and mixed urinary incontinence with a predominance of leaks to the effort. Patients were evaluated at 2 months of the intervention.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Isolated stress urinary incontinence for 58 patients, mixed incontinence for 14 and intrinsic sphincter deficiency for five. The complications per procedure revealed one bleeding over 100ml, one malaise vagal and a failure of the procedure. At 2 months, the authors found: two urgenturies de novo, one de novo micturition disorder, one erosion, one urinary tract infection and four lateral vaginal bands. The early objective results are overall 75.7% of dry patients (79.6% for pure SUI, 66.6% for IUE with ISD and 61.5% for mixed incontinence). The overall failure rate was 2.9%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results of this simplified tape are worse than those of TVT and transobturator tapes.
