How are you? Have you heard the Monarc Transobturator Sling (also called Monarc Subfascial Hammock (TM) or ObTape(TM) trans-obturator tape or TOT)?  It is less invasive than the other tension free tapes because this approach eliminates potential complications that stem from blindly passing a large needle carrier through the retropubic space.  This approach greatly reduces injury to the bladder, bowel, pelvic arteries, veins and nerves. It takes about 15-20 minutes only. Cystoscopy is not routinely required unlike the other retropubic sling procedures.

I hope this helps. Take care and regards.
