Objective Cure

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and the effects on quality of life of transobturator tape surgery during a 2-year follow-up period in our clinics. Methods: Eighty-seven patients with stress or mixed urinary incontinence who underwent transobturator tape surgery were included in the study conducted in Istanbul. Taksim. Training. and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, between 2011 and 2013. The patients’ demographic features, incontinence questionnaires, quality of life scores [Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and urinary distress inventories (UDI-6)], examination findings, urodynamic results, stress tests, Q tip tests, number of daily pads, ultrasonography, surgery, and cystoscopy results were recorded. Patients were evaluated 23-27 months (mean: 25.40±1.31 months) after their discharge in terms of symptoms, quality of life scores, urodynamic findings, complications, and stress test. Results: Sixty-three (72.4%) patients had stress incontinence and 24 (27.6%) patients had mixed urinary incontinence. No perioperative complications were observed in our study. After a follow-up period of two years, a significant improvement was detected in the IIQ-7 and UDI-6 questionnaires when compared with the preoperative period. Moreover, the objective cure rate was found as 88.5% (n=77). De novo urge incontinence was obtained in 5.7% (n=5) of patients and was treated with anticholinergics. Perineal pain was present in 3 (3.44%) patients and was treated with analgesics and cold packs. In 2 (2.29%) patients, vaginal mesh erosion was detected and full recovery was achieved with an excision. Urinary retention and bladder perforation was not seen in any patients. Conclusion: Our study revealed a high objective cure rate, and an improvement in symptoms and quality of life with the transobturator tape operation. How to cite this:Sik BA, Copur H, Yilda Arzu ABA.

Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is managed with both TVT and TOT. The TVT route of placement could result in a higher complication rate. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare outcomes and complications of TVT and TOT in SUI treatment. Methods: Prospective study in 64 women with isolated SUI was validated through Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact questionnaire (IIQ-7) and International Continence Impact Questionnaire (ICIQ5-SF). Intraoperative and postoperative complications were noted. Patients were considered cured when negative on stress test and with no need for additional surgery during follow up, after one and three months. Results: The cure rates for both TVT 26/30 (86,6%) and TOT 30/34 (88,2) were comparable. Higher rates of bleeding, bladder perforations, pain and dyspareunia are recorded in TVT group. Quality of life graded on the questionnaire basis proved significant improvement in both procedures. Conclusion: Both TVT and TOT have comparable cure results in the treatment of SUI. The TOT is equally effective in the SUI treatment with significantly lower complication incidence.
