  1. RCT randomized controlled trial, weeks week; T total reconstruction, N nontotal reconstruction
  2. aThe 52-week urinary continence rate was not reported directly in the study of Tewari, [18]. Thus, the urinary continence rate at 24 weeks was represented as the urinary continence rate at 52 weeks
