The article presents the data on a study of sexual function in perimenopausal age women with stress urinary incontinence after transobturator tape (TOT) sling procedure with the subsequent prescription of vaginal estrogens during the month. Purpose — to assess the effectiveness of influence transobturator tape (TOT) sling procedure with the subsequent prescription of vaginal estrogens during the month on sexual function in perimenopausal age women with stress urinary incontinence. We evaluate the recovery of sexual function in 16 perimenopausal age (45-50 years) women with stress urinary incontinence after transobturator tape (TOT) sling procedure with the subsequent prescription of vaginal estrogens during the month using the Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) questionnaire. In 1 month after the treatment we found an improvement in the daily activity of women in 3 times, self-esteem in 2.6 times, sexual function in 2 times, the overall quality of life in 3.3 times, a decrease of emotional stress in 2.8 times, the reduction of additional effort in 3.3 times. A decrease in sexual discomfort was found in the postoperative period in 75% of women, number women with lack of libido decreased by 31.25%, and a number of women who had orgasms during coitus increased by 25%. Thus, transobturator tape (TOT) sling procedure with the subsequent prescription of vaginal estrogens during the month normalized sexual dysfunction in perimenopausal age women with stress urinary incontinence.

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.

Abstract Introduction and hypothesis To assess changes in quality of life (QoL) and sexual function outcomes at 1 year after tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) versus polyacrylamide hydrogel injection (PAHG). Methods In a randomized trial comparing TVT (n = 111) and PAHG (n = 113) treatments of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), we compared urinary incontinence and health-related QoL using the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, Short Form (IIQ-7), Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) and RAND-36 Item Health Survey (RAND-36) at baseline and 1 year. Results UDI-6 and IIQ-7 showed improved incontinence-related QoL (p = 0.001) from baseline in both groups except for difficulty emptying the bladder and pain/discomfort. At 1 year, TVT patients experienced less urinary symptom-related distress compared to PAHG (p < 0.001). Sexual function improved in both groups (p < 0.001 for TVT and p = 0.01 for PAHG) with higher scores for the physical section subscale (p < 0.001) for TVT. Health-related QoL (RAND-36) improved from baseline in both groups in physical and social functioning (p < 0.001) with better outcome in the TVT group for physical functioning (p < 0.001). Increase in pain from baseline (p = 0.02) was detected for TVT, but not for PAHG. However, there was no difference between the groups (p = 0.78). Conclusions In primary SUI, TVT and PAHG treatments both improved QoL and sexual function at 1 year. However, incontinence and health-related QoL scores were better in the TVT group. More pain compared to the baseline was reported after TVT, although there was no difference between groups. Clinical significance needs to be evaluated in long-term follow-up.
