The tension - free vaginal tape procedure (TVT) has been regarded as a safe, minimally invasive method for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. In a prospective multicenter study we evaluated safety and efficacy of TVT procedure for the treatment of female stress incontinence. From 1998. to 2003, a total of 42 patients, mean age 60 years (range 34-76) with urodynamically verified stress urinary incontinence underwent the TVT procedure. The mean follow-up period was 28 months (range 14 to 32). Intra- and postoperative complications were few, including bladder perforations (4.7%), vaginal hematoma (2.4%), complete urinary retention (2.4%), transient urinary retention (19%) and urinary tract infection (7.1%). Postoperatively, voiding time and functional urethral length significant increased. The subjective and objective cure rates were 85.7% and 90.5%, respectively. We conclude that the TVT procedure is associated with high cure rate and low morbidity.
