Summary
In patients with symptoms of mixed incontinence (loss of urine associated with
coughing/sneezing/laughing, and loss of urine associated with the strong urge to void), is
surgical treatment with tension free vaginal tape or pharmacological treatment with
tolterodine more effective? What are the parameters predictive of success or failure with
either forms of treatment? What are the parameters predictive of the necessity for further
treatment after primary treatment?
Patients will be randomised to having surgical or pharmacological treatment for their mixed
incontinence symptoms. They will be assessed subjectively and objectively pre-treatment and
after treatment at intervals up to 3 months.
