Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The efficacy of TVT-O (tension-free vaginal tape obturator) is well established in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient satisfaction of TVT-O in patients suffering from primary, mixed (MUI) or recurrent urinary incontinence (UI) in long-term follow-up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The long-term results after TVT-O have been scarce. At five years no significant differences were seen between TVT (tension-free vaginal tape) and TVT-O for female SUI in a randomized trial. In two studies the patients were followed-up for ten years after the TVT-O procedure. The first randomized study reporting long term outcomes of TVT-O and outside-in TOT (transobturator tape) in women with urodynamic mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) showed that transobturator tension-free vaginal tapes are associated with a good and sustained patient-reported success rate.

The success of the incontinence procedures should be assessed not only with objective measures but also with methods evaluating subjective satisfaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and overall patient satisfaction of the TVT-O technique in a long-term follow-up of patients suffering from primary or recurrent SUI or MUI.

All women treated by TVT-O during the years this study was made were included.

Group Type OTHER

TVT-O

Intervention Type DEVICE

TVT-O is one of the most popular treatments for urinary incontinence (UI). Its efficacy is well established in patients with pure stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Data reporting long-term outcomes of TVT-O for the treatment of mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) or recurrent SUI is scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety and overall patient satisfaction of TVT-O in different subgroups of UI in a long-term follow-up.
