Study summary

This is a pilot study to assess the feasibility and success of performing the TVT-Secur in the office setting. Endpoints would be success, complications, and patient and physician acceptance of the procedure. Success would be assessed by validated questionnaires.

This is a prospective single arm study of 50 patients who will have the TVT-Secur procedure done in the office under local anesthesia. They will be followed for a period of 3 years.

Read the detailed description

The study will include 50 patients who would meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria and who sign the informed consent. Subjects are diagnosed with Stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility with no prior urinary incontinence surgery. Subjects are women who no longer intend to bear children and who do not require any other concomitant surgery.

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of Oct 2008, a primary completion of Oct 2012 and a completion of Oct 2012. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Jun 2017, 4 years 8 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 28, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
