Tension-free Vaginal Tape versus Transobturator Tape: Tightening of the Strings?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Hypothesis / aims of study Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common problem for women. SUI has proven to have a negative impact on the quality of life for women suffering from this condition. Treatment of the condition consists mainly of physiotherapy and/or operative treatment. Nowadays the midurethral sling is the operative procedure of first choice. This sling can be placed by two different techniques, either the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) or the transobturator tape (TOT). In 2005 the TVT was gradually replaced by the TOT. This study was conducted to compare the short-term and long-term cure rates of the TVT and TOT and the rate of complications. It is expected that both techniques will have similar cure rates at both short-term and long-term follow-up. However the TVT group is expected to have higher complication rates and higher newly developed urge incontinence rates than the TOT group.
