Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Mid-urethral slings are currently considered to be the gold standard for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence, replacing bladder neck suspension techniques which previously occupied this position. In recent years, however, there have been concerns with regard to the use of synthetic material in vaginal surgery. Methods: We performed a review of the literature to discuss the role of bladder neck suspension techniques in the current clinical setting. Conclusions: Bladder neck suspension techniques consist of vaginal techniques, needle suspension techniques and retropubic techniques. The latter two techniques have been proven to offer durable outcomes for stress urinary incontinence. As compared to autologous slings, the long-term success rates may be considered inferior, but so is the rate of complication, resulting in higher patient satisfaction. Bladder neck suspension techniques may have a role in treating recurrent and/or persisting stress urinary incontinence after (failed) sling surgery and remain of particular interest in patients with stress urinary incontinence when performing concomitant surgery, for example for prolapse.
