The functional morphologyof the lower urinary tract and of the pelvic floor on the MR image after TVT did not reveal anyrelevant changes in bladder neck dynamic mobility.Conclusion: The experience of other authors concerning possible complications, postoperativecare and results are evaluated; they are without exception positive.
