null
No difference was found in the rate of serious adverse events between groups (9% Burch vs 11% sling, p=0.77), with most events related to the laparotomy rather than the anti-incontinence procedure. No bladder perforations occurred during sling trocar passage. Mesh exposure requiring surgical removal did not differ (1/56 Burch vs 2/57 sling).
