Differences between TOT and Mini Slings answered by Chat GPT > academic conference

I asked Chat GPT, who is rocking the world in 2023, "Tell me the difference between TOT and MiniSling, which are incontinence surgical methods."
What information does Chat GPT have about TOT and MiniSling, the two major mountain ranges of urinary incontinence surgery?
Surprisingly, I gave an expert-level answer as below, and I was very surprised by the intellectual level of Chat GPT, which goes beyond common sense.

Tape-obturator tape (TOT) surgery and mini-sling surgery are two common methods of surgery for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
The two surgical methods have the following differences.

[How to operate]

TOT surgery is performed by inserting a patterned polypropylene mesh with a boundary or a relatively wide tape and wrapping it around the urethra.
In contrast, mini-sling surgery involves inserting a mesh piece and connecting it from one end of the urethra to the other.

[Side effect]

In the case of TOT surgery, there can be side effects that often damage the nerves around the urethra, which can lead to a longer recovery period.
On the other hand, mini-sling surgery has fewer side effects than TOT surgery and may lead to faster postoperative recovery.

[Effective]

Both TOT surgery and mini-sling surgery can effectively improve urinary incontinence symptoms.
However, recent studies have shown that minisling surgery has more effective results than TOT surgery.

In summary, TOT surgery can cause side effects by wrapping the urethra with a wide tape or mesh,
Mini-sling surgery is performed by connecting the urethra with a small mesh, with fewer side effects and higher levels than TOT surgery

It shows effectiveness.
