Tvt Procedure

In this study we determined the efficacy and safety of tension free vaginal tape (TVT), a new procedure for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. TVT consists in the implantation of a prolene tape around the mid-urethra via a small vaginal incision. The TVT procedure is a minimally invasive technique using local or spinal anaesthesia allowing most women to be discharged from hospital the same day or the day after the operation. In the surgery of SUI with urethral hypermobility, TVT is without doubt one of the most interesting procedure to have changed surgery practice, and is a promising alternative to the traditional techniques. On the basis of our results we consider the TVT operation to be a safe and effective surgical procedure for the treatment of female urinary stress incontinence, having obtained a success rate of 76,5%.

Cure Rates

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.

Tvt Procedure

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.
