Objective: The treatment of women with mixed urinary incontinence still poses a great challenge. This study evaluated surgical outcomes of combined trans-obturator tension-free vaginal tape (TVT-O) and modified IngelmanSundberg (IS) procedure for the treatment of mixed urinary incontinence. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Ninety-six women diagnosed with mixed incontinence ...

The cost-effectiveness of TVT in comparison with other surgical ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sexual satisfaction rates of women who underwent tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure for stress urinary incontinence and compare it with the results of Burch-colposuspension. MATERIALS AND METHODS A self-administered questionnaire was given to 81 patients who had undergone TVT or Burch-colposuspension at our institution to determine sexual satisfaction rates an...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this review was to assess the recent evidence on the effectiveness and complications of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and transobturator tape (TOT) procedures for female stress urinary incontinence between January 2008 and March 2009. RECENT FINDINGS A meta-analysis of recent studies revealed that the short-term objective cure rate was borderline worse in the TO...

BACKGROUND Owing to their various advantages, including shortened hospital stays, faster recoveries, and satisfactory outcomes, laparoscopic bladder neck suspension (LBNS) and tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) have become 2 well-known minimally-invasive anti-incontinent procedures. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the outcomes of LBNS and TVT procedures for treatment of stress urinary inc...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the incidence, possible risk factors, preoperative morbidity and outcome results in tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) cases complicated by lower urinary tract injury in a large, heterogeneous, consecutive group of women. STUDY DESIGN Four hundred sixty consecutive women who underwent TVT surgery for correction of urodynamically proven stress urinary incontinence were enroll...

OBJECTIVES Extensive literature exists about military trauma as opposed to the very limited literature regarding terror-related civilian trauma. However, terror-related vascular trauma (VT), as a unique type of injury, is yet to be addressed. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the Israeli National Trauma Registry was performed. All patients in the registry from 09/2000 to 12/2005 were includ...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to prospectively and randomly compare tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) with transobturator suburethral tape (T.O.T.) for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. Study design: Sixty-one women with SUI were randomly assigned to either TVT (n=31) or T.O.T. (n=30). The preoperative evaluation included a quality-of-life questionna...
