Study hypothesis
Retropubic colposuspension is more effective than a Tension free Vaginal Tape (TVT) insertion with anterior vaginal repair for the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence and anterior vaginal prolapse.
Please note that, as of 08/09/2008, the anticipated end date of this trial has been updated from 30/04/2008 to 25/04/2008.
Please note that, as of 16/01/2009, the anticipated end date has been updated from 25/04/2008 to 30/09/2007 (end of recruitment). The last patient completed follow up in November 2007.
