Tension-free vaginal tape: outcomes among women with primary versus recurrent stress urinary incontinence.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of tension-free vaginal tape in the treatment of primary versus recurrent genuine stress urinary incontinence. METHODS A retrospective, multicenter study of 245 consecutive women who were treated with tension-free vaginal tape for genuine stress urinary incontinence (157 for primary and 88 for recurrent genuine stress urinary incontinence) over a 27-month period was performed. Concurrent surgical repairs were performed as required. Subjective and objective outcome data were assessed from routine postoperative visits. Office and hospital records were reviewed to determine patient characteristics, intraoperative findings, and surgical outcomes. RESULTS Women with recurrent genuine stress urinary incontinence were older (mean age 64.6 versus 59.4 years, P =.004) than those with primary incontinence; they were less likely to have an intact uterus (22.7% versus 66.9%, P <.001), and were more likely to have intrinsic sphincter deficiency (70.5% versus 47.1%, P <.001). The mean duration of follow-up was 38 (+/-16) weeks. Cure rates among patients with recurrent versus primary genuine stress urinary incontinence were similar (85% and 87%, respectively, P =.23). Complication rates were similarly low in both groups (4.5% versus 7.6% for recurrent and primary genuine stress urinary incontinence, respectively, P =.35). Postoperative voiding dysfunction occurred at low rates in both groups. CONCLUSION Tension-free vaginal tape is a highly effective treatment among patients with recurrent stress incontinence, with outcomes comparable with those among patients with primary incontinence.

BACKGROUND We recently completed a randomized clinical trial of two minimally invasive surgical procedures for stress urinary incontinence, the retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) versus the trans-obturator tape (TOT) procedure. At one year postoperatively, we were concerned to find that a significant number of women had tape that was palpable when a vaginal examination was undertaken. B...
