Editorial comment

Success rates of retropubic sling in Latina women compare with those published in the clinical trial literature. Urinary urgency and urgency incontinence symptoms may be more predominant in Latina women, and Gonzalez et al. emphasize need for further investigation of potential underlying structural, cultural, environmental, or lifestyle-related factors that may be at play. This amplifies generalizability of sling clinical trial results to an important demographic that is otherwise not well-represented in phase III trials for stress urinary incontinence.
