Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Trans-obturator tape (TOT) in the surgical treatment of stress incontinence and analyze the postoperative clinical outcome. METHODS: Between August 2004 and September 2005, females diagnosed as having stress incontinence (pure or mixed) were operated on using TOT. Eighty cases with more than three-month follow-up period were included for this study. RESULTS: Patient age ranged from 28 to 74 years (mean, 58). After surgical treatment using TOT, 74 cases (92.5%) of stress incontinence showed complete recovery, 4 cases (5%) showed partial recovery, and 2 cases (2.5%) were unchanged without further functional deterioration. Urgency in the mixed incontinence was improved in 30 in 36 cases (83.3%) and frequency was changed for the better in 20 of 27 cases (62.9%). The mean operation time was 14.3 minutes and the mean hospital stay was six hours. Postoperative evaluation with cystoscope was unnecessary. The postoperative complication rate was 10% (8/80). Postoperative wound bleeding occurred in one case and intraoperative bladder perforation happened in one case. Postoperative transient urgency was developed in one case and postoperative transient frequency developed in three cases. Two patients complained of weak urinary stream. CONCLUSION: The surgical treatment using TOT is thought to be a safe and efficient means for the outpatient management of stress incontinence. And also, this method appears to have an effect on urgency and frequency.
