We had no case of bladder perforation. This can be the result of detailed hydrodessection, plastic end of IVS needle and gentle introducing the needle. High percentage of erosions may be the result of learning curve as well of the properties of the tape. Conclusions: 1. Operation with use of IVS tape has low risk of complications. 2.

Tape insertion without cough test minimizes the risk of overcorrection and post-void urine residual.
