1 INTRODUCTION. Within a few years after the introduction of the retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) in 1996, several studies demonstrated excellent short-term clinical outcomes, making this minimally invasive method the gold standard in the surgical treatment of women with stress (SUI) and stress-dominated mixed (MUI) urinary incontinence. 1, 2 From 2005 and onwards, the number of

Introduction: The retropubic tension-free vaginal tape has been the preferred method for primary surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence and stress-dominated mixed urinary incontinence in women for more than 20 years. This study presents long-term safety and efficacy data and assesses risk factors for long-term recurrence.

Aims: To compare outcomes of the retropubic versus the transobturator tension-free vaginal tape (TVT vs TVT-O) at 5 years. Methods: A total of 569 women undergoing surgery for primary stress incontinence were randomized to receive a retropubic or a transobturator tensionfree vaginal tape (TVT or TVT-O). Follow-up at 5 years included clinical examination, urodynamic studies and quality of life.

Introduction and hypothesis: The tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and inside-out transobturator tape (TVT-O) are first-line surgical treatments for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, there is a lack of information regarding the long-term comparative safety of these procedures. Methods: A total of 140 SUI patients were randomized to the TVT or TVT-O procedure and were interviewed by an

A tension-free vaginal tape is an operation used in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.In this procedure, a synthetic tape is placed around the urethra to form a sling - this supports the urethra to prevent leakage. Short term cure rate (up to one year) has been reported to be 71-97% and long term cure rate (up to 5 years) is 51-88% in the Cochrane systematic review on mid-urethral

All TVTs were of the same type (GYNECARE TVT™ Retropubic System). The time period was chosen because this preceded the introduction of the transobturator tape in our institution and so all TVTs in this analysis were inserted using the retropubic approach. All cases were performed or supervised by one consultant urogynaecologist.

All patients treated with MUS between 2007 and 2017 were included in this study. The TVT group included 306 procedures while the TOT group included 567 procedures. For the TVT technique, the "Gynecare TVT Retropubic" was used, while the "Gynecare TVT Transobturator" was employed for the TOT technique.

This article discusses the tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure, which attempts to recreate urethral support at the level of the pubourethral ligaments by placing a polypropylene sling at the midurethra as opposed to the bladder neck. The procedure has the proposed advantage of being done under local anesthesia and being an outpatient surgery and can be performed transvaginally or

The tension‐free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure (Gynecare, Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ) is performed using specially designed needles attached to a synthetic sling material. The surgery may be done with the patient under local, regional, or general anesthesia. With the patient in the dorsal lithotomy position, the bladder is drained with an

Urinary incontinence - tension-free vaginal tape. Placement of tension-free vaginal tape is surgery to help control stress urinary incontinence. This is urine leakage that happens when you laugh, cough, sneeze, lift things, or exercise. The surgery helps close your urethra and bladder neck. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the

Introduction and hypothesis: The retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) procedure replaced Burch colposuspension as the primary surgical method for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) in women in our department in 1998. In this study we compared the short-term and long-term clinical outcomes of these surgical procedures.

Mid-urethral sling (also known as tape) procedures are operations designed to help women with stress incontinence. Stress incontinence is the leakage of urine through the urethra (the tube through which urine is passed) with everyday activities such as coughing, sneezing, or exercise. It is a very common and embarrassing problem affecting up to

Introduction and hypothesis: In a randomised trial comparing transobturator tape (TOT) to retropubic tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), vaginal examination at 12 months showed that tapes were palpable for 80.0 % of the TOT group versus 26.7 % of the TVT group. We hypothesized that this difference would lead to more women in the TOT group
