Mid-urethral sling operations for stress urinary incontinence in women.

TL;DR: The NOBLE studies do not support the commonly held notion that women are considerably more likely than men to have urgency-related bladder control problems, and overactive bladder, with and without urge incontinence, has a clinically significant impact on quality-of-life, quality- of-sleep, and mental health, in both men and women.
