Overall Study Notes | Met power. Poor a priori definition or criteria for inclusion/exclusion. Overall, No mean f/u listed. Well organized randomization, but blinding of patient and outcome assessor not discussed- may cause bias. No author conflicts. No analysis of data by surgeon or site. needs better definition sui and inclusion/exclusion criteria. Shows decreased efficacy at 12 months for minisling | ||
