In this study we determined the efficacy of TVT for the treatment of female urinary incontinence in a first group of patients (69) of our urogynaecology service from April 1998 to December 2000. The TVT procedure is a minimally invasive technique, using local or spinal anaesthesia, which consists in the implantation of a Prolene tape around the mid-urethra. On the basis of our results (92.3 % success rate) we consider the TVT procedure to be a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of female urinary stress incontinence.
