AB  - INTRODUCTION: The transvaginal bone anchored polypropylene sling (BAS) has proven 
      to be a successful treatment for patients with SUI. However, there is limited 
      data on long-term outcomes following BAS with polypropylene mesh. We report our 
      series of patients who had at least 3 years of follow-up after placement of BAS. 
      MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of prospectively collected data of 
      patients undergoing BAS for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) with minimum 3 year 
      follow-up was performed. Outcomes and complications were determined from annual 
      mailed post-operative questionnaires. RESULTS: 142 patients who had undergone BAS 
      and had answered post-operative questionnaires at a minimum of 3 years were 
      identified. Average follow-up was 58 months (range 36-97 months). The overall 
      success rate was 71 % with a dry rate of 27 %. Complications occurred in 9 % of 
      patients, more commonly in patients without a history of anti-incontinence 
      procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Although less commonly used, BAS with polypropylene mesh 
      is associated with an acceptable success rate at long term follow-up but a low 
      completely dry rate.
