  1. All recruited patients presented for anterior compartment POP–Q II–III (pelvic organ prolapse) and genuine SUI (stress urinary incontinence). The modified transvaginal mesh (mTVM) group comprised patients who received a four–arm mesh that was fixed to the mid-urethra. Control groups I and II include historical controls who participated in TVM and anterior colporrhaphy without any Kelly–Stoeckel suture, respectively
  2. OR, Odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval,
  3. Adjusted ORa, All variables were adjusted for age, previous parity, postmenopausal stage, previous vaginal operations and chronic systemic diseases, POP–Q stage and urge symptoms. n.m.b, not measurable
