Comparative analysis between the mid-urethral synthetic tape (tension-free vaginal tape [TVT] and transobturator tape [TOT]); in the surgical treatment of stress incontinence in women in a three-year period (2009 – 2012).

Abstract

Introduction: stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine due to increased intra-abdominal pressure. The vaginal approach using midurethral slings is now the most common surgical method for the treatment of SUI with two main techniques: tension free vaginal sling [TVT] and transobturator midurethral sling [TOT]. Objective: to determine the efficacy and complications observed after the placement of synthetic midurethral sling for the surgical treatment of urinary incontinence in a period of 3 years at HCAM. Materials and methods: a retrospective analysis was performed in patients who underwent surgery with placement of midurethral sling for the surgical treatment of SUI at HCAM. 218 patients were studied; clinical-demographics, perioperative, intraoperative, and postoperative complications including monitoring data and clinical improvement of SUI were recorded to assess the efficacy and safety of methods. Results: the TOT group prevailed in effectiveness with no statistically significant difference with respect to the TVT group in assessing subjective and objective clinical improvement (87% vs 82 % and 92 % vs 90 % respectively). Bladder perforation occurred in 14% in the TVT group vs. 0.5 % of the TOT group. Severe complications leading to re operation were mainly presented in the TVT group (4.8 % vs 2.25 % / p=0.356). Conclusions: comparatively, both techniques showed similar efficacy over time of study. However TOT would have fewer complications, bladder perforation being the most important. In addition, TVT required longer operative time, hospital stay.
